Zooey Jeong’s father was congratulated by Jimmy.
Jimmy complimented Zooey Jeong’s father, Ken Jeong, on the success of his film ‘Crazy Rich Asians,’ which grossed more than $240 million. Ken said sarcastically, “It earned $242.89 million and $174 million domestically, but it doesn’t matter.” When Jimmy inquired as to why he was not going to be in the film, Ken said that owing to schedule and other projects that may or may not have worked out, the conclusion of his program ‘Dr. Ken’ enabled him to focus on the film. He went on to say that it is one of the most rewarding projects he has ever worked on.
They then discussed ‘The Masked Singer.’ Ken mentioned that it was a number one program in Korea and his mother was a major fan of the show, so when the opportunity to be a panelist was presented to him, his mother pushed on his doing the show. Jimmy enjoyed his performance in his Netflix stand-up special, ‘You Complete Me Ho,’ and was astonished to learn that the name was suggested by his wife. According to Ken, it’s a love letter to his wife, and the title ‘The First Date’ was inspired by ‘The Ice House’ in Pasadena, where he played, and where his wife first watched him perform.
