I love Dr. Ken and he has always been hilariously funny. And there are some really great moments in this special but I was constantly reminded of something Colin Quinn would scream: "Stop APPLAUDING! Applause kills comedy". The special starts out strong with some other Asians in the crowd but then there were too many moments that remind me of the opening monologue on SNL where the host begins announcing things that are designed for applause and it just gets tedious.
Not funny at all. the whole special is him bragging about his fame and money and constantly reminding you that he is a doctor too.
He's no Bill Burr or Chappelle, but he's got Ho's!
Fun time, relax critics.
Overall I felt that this standup performance was good. I had some laughs and I enjoyed learning more about Ken Jeong who has always been this wild and crazy character in my head. This man has always fascinated me because he was once a doctor and gave it all up to be an actor. He does talk quite a bit about that switch which was extremely funny and interesting to learn about.
To me this special was the most wholesome in the fact that he contantly talked to the audience as if they were important parts to his act and pointed out his wife and director constantly. The show was about Mr. Jeong and how rich and famous he is but it was also about how he got to where he is and how important all of the people in his life are.
It wasn't the funniest standup I've seen but if you're a fan of Ken's and the work he's done in Hollywood then I think you would enjoy this.
I also think you would enjoy this special if you last name is Ho.

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.
