Where's the comedy?
Ken Jeong is a really funny, witty comedy actor, but doing stand-up doesn't seem to be his thing. Most of this set was just the crowd cheering for his achievements, sadly only a little part of the set he actually cracked jokes and did what a stand-up comedian 'is supposed to'. That small part was funny, but not to the point where it makes all the namedropping and countless times of stretching out laughter or clapping alright.
Mediocre at best.

This was really funny. For a speech at a high school graduation.
I love Ken Jeong. I love his movies. But I just couldn't put my finger on what was a joke and what was just a.... kind of "funny" story? I would've really liked to take a dive into Ken's life a little bit more, but most of the content was rehashing characters and stories that we already know. 4 to 5 Mr. Chow impressions, stories about the Hangover, and nothing but name drops and shoutouts to more successful comedians. This could've been great - and I really wanted it to be - but the jokes just fell flat. Ken should've spent more time prepping these jokes and perfecting them instead of just going for the low hanging fruit; ie: anti-Trump jokes, Asian accents, bringing back characters from movies that happened over 10 years ago. Love Ken. Hated this special.
Great story telling, passable stand-up
Though switched this on for the comedy, I didn't feel gripped by the comedy. Ken's jokes were by no means as bad as what other reviews seem to be parroting. However, I will admit that I did soon grow tired with his reliance on cheesy Asian stereotypes and bragging. This shouldn't be too surprising as his previous works have been built more on shock value and vulgarity rather than wit or nuance.
The redeeming part of the act was the autobiographical storytelling of some of the more important and vulnerable parts of his life that led him to his success.
If you are interested in Ken worth a watch for the stories alone. However, I wouldn't clear your evening plans to watch this.

I have a million, B*****
I get it, the guy is a millionaire and is rich. But this was no were close to a stand up. There is no freakin difference between a Mayweather interview and this stupid stand up. In short what I took away is : I am Asian. I am a millionaire. I am great. Rest everyone is a sucker. God, do not waste your time.
Mildly funny name dropping session.
You Complete Me, Ho was mildly funny at best. It was basically him name dropping a much of celebrities that he knows and saying about two funny things in between. Mediocre at best. Would have appreciated more comedy and less name dropping.
