Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ken Jeong based Dr. Ken partly on his own pre-Hollywood medical career; he was a licensed physician who moonlighted at comedy clubs. The show became one of few network sitcoms with an East Asian family at its center during its run.
Jeong's real-life wife Tran appeared in the Season 1 finale as a guest star. The show was filmed with a live audience, unusual for single-camera comedies by 2015.
