>>> My dad went from father to
free loader, just like that.
[ Laughter ]
After the hangover, you better
get me S-Class Mercedes
>>A look there at Ken Jeong in his Netflix
comedy special, you complete me,
ho, speaking of his wife.
>> You're not gonna get me on
live.
>> Your wife -- your wife --
we've met her so many times on
the red carpet.
She is just stunning.
You said she does complete you.
Went through breast cancer and
all of that.
>> And cancer free after ten
years, still healthy, we're so
grateful.
So grateful.
>> You said that was a big part.
In the beginning you weren't
sure you were going to take the
hangover
You were going through that.
>> No way.
Turn it down because she -- I
was on the mend from
chemotherapy and the tumor and
it was responding, like -- and I
think -- and I talk about that
in the special as well.
The cancer actually, you know,
medically, as doctors we knew
her tumor markers had normalize
and had we knew she was on the
mend, but she had 12 more rounds
of chemo to go.
So at that point I, you know --
the hangover was also not known.
It was not "The hangover" at
it's not uncommon to turn down
roles for scheduling for
circumstance.
It was actually my wife who
encouraged me to do the movie,
and it was -- just one thing led
to another.
And I think behind the scenes
Todd Phillips, writer, director,
he comes from a family of
oncologists.
Every day he would ask how she
was doing.
He was always flexible with the
schedule and he said that, you
know, we'll make sure that you
go back.
We'll schedule around chemo.
I was able to be with her, which
I really wanted, every round of
chemo.
And Bradley cooper, they were
the only two people who knew at
I had done a movie with Bradley
prior to "The hangover."
On the last day of filming in
Vegas, he drove me from Vegas to
L.A. To see how she was doing.
Even that year when Tran was on
the mend from chemo and she had
lost all her hair and she was
tired and fatigued from the
chemo, we couldn't travel
because we usually like to go
see my in-laws or see my family.
Bradley actually had us over to
his house and with his family.
There's a long history there,
like long genuine love and
friendship.
>> You have to have that to
shoot my favorite scene.
>> Yeah, it took that love for
my negters to be on his
shoulder.
>> In the trunk, like you know
it's go time.
Tell us, break it down, how it
goes down.
When you left --
[ laughter ]
>> Is there a prosthetic?
No?
>> It was cold, I swear.
Now --
[ laughter ]
>> You're in the trunk, you're
waiting and you hear like them
come around, like it's scene
time.
Was it one take?
>> No, it was 40.
That's like how you do it in the
movie.
>> How many?
>> It was like 40 takes.
I'm not even kidding.
>> That's love.
>> Yeah.
It's love or porno.
[ Laughter ]
>> I have to rewind to see that.
>> It really is kind of -- I
think that will be my epitaph.
Beloved doctor, son, father,
husband, penis.
It will be all these things I
think on my epitaph.
>> Did you and Bradley crack up?
>> Behind the scenes on that's
correct Bradley was actually --
as actors -- that was actually
my idea to do it.
It was not in the script.
>> Hello.
>> If you watch -- old school,
my wife and I's favorite movie.
It's inspired by will fer ill
streaking in "Old school."
It was kind of in that spir itd.
It wasn't even -- we did not
know it would become one of the
biggest movies of all time.
Me and Bradley actually had
dinner the night before.
He said, I heard about it.
This is awesome.
He volunteered for me to jump on
his shoulder.
And Ed and Zach were like, no.
>> Yeah, I'm good.
We were in the zone.
What if the doctor was
completely naked?
The shock value of that.
So it was almost like the
opposite of what I would do in
life.
In life I'm not an
exhibitionist.
I don't even like to take my
shirt off in the beach.
I was kind of in the zone in
character.
Me and Bradley were in step
creatively.
>> Of course, nominated best
actor, all of that.
>> Yeah.
>> Did you know, did you see
that trajectory for him?
>> The movie we did prior to --
it was Sandra bullock.
That was one of the first movies
I had ever done.
It was the biggest part I had at
that time.
I worked on that film for like
three months.
And I was as green as grass.
So -- and Bradley actually
taught me -- because I really --
I had close ups, I had singles,
all these things you have in
movie acting and I had a big
part in that movie and Bradley
really -- off camera, he would
guide me and kind of give me
acting tips which I desperately
needed at that time.
There was a point in the movie
where I was supposed to be mad
at Brett Riley's character.
He would reference stuff
personal to him, some shared
personal stuff we had known
and then he referenced that off
camera to deliver a better -- so
he actually directed me in a
couple of those scenes.
And so -- and I knew back then,
know.
To watch him in "A star is born"
it brings tears to my eyes.
He was born to direct.
He was born to be an au tour.
I'm so proud of him.
It is so well deserved.
>> How do you do the beaver
>> I got to be brothers with --
our character, me and keen an
Thompson, we get to be brothers
in this movie.
>> Is that alone, amen?
>> And we actually got to do the
sessions together and we
actually got to -- keen an is
honestly one of the funnyest
human beings on the planette, one
of the nicest beings on the
planet.
We became friends out of filming
we do feel like kinship, like
family.
So whenever I see him or I text
him, the warmth he radiates is
also the warmth he radiates
between Gus and --
>> Which one are you, the big
beaver or little beaver?
>> I'm the taller one.
I got to be taller on this one.
Yeah, I got good cheeks.
I got to design it.
Got the cheek bones higher, yep.
>> Ken, we love you here.
>> Love you.
>> Could we get one laugh as we
go out?
[ Laughter ]
>> Oh, yeah, we do.
We got it.
>> Ken's special, You complete me. Ho
is streaming on Netflix.
>> Oh, my god, thank you, guys.
>> We need that on the loop.
