The Hangover star Ken Jeong doesn't really seize the opportunity to deliver an excruciatingly funny set or to push stand-up into bold new places here. Instead, he leans into the lazy "star recounts becoming a star" format, while also finding time to drop a lot of Hollywood names and give shout-outs to everyone who's ever cast him in anything.
Underneath that, however, is a sweet, touching story about battling odds, believing in your dreams and the power of love.
If that all sounds far too sappy don't worry, there are also a lot of dick jokes if that's more your thing...
But is any of it funny? Well.... it's not without its moments. An early bit of crowd work that sees an increasingly flustered Jeong realising he's surrounded by Hos is pretty good.
It's prudent to note here, that Ho is the surname of Tran, Jeong's wife. And, as it turns out, a fairly common Asian surname. You should be able to spot the gag Jeong runs with here from a mile away and boy does he run it into the ground throughout the special.
