Thank you, I am Ken Jeong, or as Ellen pronounces it,
Ken Je-young.
Now it is an honor to be guest hosting for Ellen,
diggle in her generous.
So-- but as you can see Ellen isn't here today.
I want to tell you exactly what she's going through,
but you know my movie, The Hangover?
You know that?
Actually it's not that.
I just wanted to plug my movie The Hangover.
So it's doing amazing on DVD.
Now Ellen has the day off, so obviously I
was asked to fill in because apparently she and I wear
the same size suit.
Actually you know what?
My wife and kids are here today in the audience.
Where are they?
I Want to give them a shout out.
Hey!
Look at them.
Oh, wow.
Look at the frown on their faces, huh?
Yeah.
All right, all right.
Wow.
I didn't force her to be here at all.
That is my wife, if you go back.
That's my wife Tran.
That is-- yes.
[CHEERING]
And that is the apple of my eye, Alexa.
Yes.
[CHEERING]
And what's your name, sweetie?
I'm kidding.
Zooey.
Don't get mad, don't get mad.
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right,
all right.
Don't worry, we're cutting all this.
Now I'll be honest, I brought them here
because I'm a little nervous.
This is actually my--
it's actually my first time ever hosting a talk show,
so thank you Ellen.
This has been a huge honor.
[CHEERING]
I've had an amazing time.
It's been incredible.
I have never, ever done this before,
so I just gotta I reference what I know.
So I'm an actor.
I'm a comedian.
And this is true.
I'm also a doctor.
So just for me to make me feel comfortable,
I need you all to disrobe.
If that's OK.
No?
OK.
Yeah, it's true.
I was a general practitioner and I worked full time.
Actually I would-- any general practitioners in the crowd?
Good.
Let's talk about them.
General practitioners, we are the dumbest of all doctors.
All right?
Like in general I knew nothing.
OK?
If a patient came up to me, say, doctor, what would do I have?
I don't know.
In general you're sick.
I don't know these things.
I'm going to refer you to a specificicst.
Now my whole point is I love doing comedy This is--
I'm living out a dream, but honestly I miss my patients,
and I miss helping people.
So today I thought I'd help all of you
out with any medical questions you may have
in my segment, Ask Dr. Ken.
[MUSICPLAYING]
Those are my real abs.
I had a sit up coach.
Where is Adrienne Lee?
My question was, why do some Asians get Asian glow,
and is it dangerous?
Got it, why do some Asians get Asian glow,
or like the Asian flush if you will.
Like basically it is due to a lack of an enzyme
called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase,
age which metabolizes alcohol in the body.
And when you have an accumulation of said substance,
you can get that Asian glow, or in American
terms looks like a tomato.
So it's-- and but just to be clear,
I can also answer non Asian medical questions.
I just wanted to throw that out there.
I don't want everyone to assume that's my only area
of expertise.
So you know.
I help out whites.
OK, so umm yup.
Thank you.
Thank you, Adrienne.
[APPLAUSE]
Keep it real, Adrienne.
All right.
So where is Mafa--
Ameperosa?
It's actually Mafa.
Mafa.
That's what I said.
I said that.
Hi Dr. Ken Jeong.
Hi, Mafa.
Hi, my question is, what is your medical opinion
on medicinal use of cannabis or marijuana?
Yes.
Next question?
Yes?
Yup yup.
I have some more in the back of my Camry.
Now, where is Huijeong Hong.
Again, this doesn't have to be an Asian question.
So but Huijeong.
Yes.
Hello Dr. Ken Jeong.
My question is, I'm wondering why
I started to sweat only half side of my face
when I eat really spicy food.
Excuse me for a second.
Web M.D. Half my face.
Sweat.
Oh, we're out of time.
Sorry.
Yay.
Good job.
