In His Return To Stand-Up, Ken Jeong Tells His Wife 'You Complete Me'

The doctor-turned-actor released a new comedy special on Valentine's Day. It's dedicated to the woman whose sense of humor, especially while facing aggressive breast cancer, made his career possible.
Ken Jeong's new Netflix comedy special is called <em>You Complete Me, Ho </em>-- after his wife, Tran Ho.

There's this one scene in The Hangover. A man jumps out of the trunk of a car — completely naked — and attacks Bradley Cooper with a crowbar.

That guy is Ken Jeong, a real-life medical-doctor-turned-actor. He had his own show, Dr. Ken. He was in Crazy Rich Asians and Community.

Now he's gone back to his comic roots: Doing stand-up. He's got a special on Netflix coming out soon where he addresses some choices he's made during his career.

By the way, it was my idea to get. Did you guys know that? Yup. That's right. My wife said it'll be the feel-good movie of the summer — because every guy will go home feeling good about themselves.
