Somehow, Ken Jeong is arguably the biggest Asian American male star in Hollywood. Diana (fyi, a stand-up comedian), Teen, and Oxford get together to delve into Ken Jeong's recent Netflix special to talk about-among other things-his reliance on cheap Asian jokes, his failure to move past his Hangover "glory days," and the state of Asian American comedy in general.
Intro Voice Track: "You Complete Me, Ho" Trailer (https://youtu.be/P2sYRVhO9VA)
Outro Music: "Ho Ho Ho" by Alvin and The Chipmunks
