TV show description:
This medical situation comedy is based on the experiences of creator and star Ken Jeong who practiced as a physician before becoming a comedian.
Doctor Ken (Jeong) is a brilliant physician, though he occasionally leaves his bedside manner at home. He has no problem telling an obese patient that he’s fat, right to his face. And when the patient claims that he barely eats, Ken quips ‘the only thing fatter than you, are your lies’.
Hospital Manager Pat (Dave Foley) is tired of the numerous complaints that have been made about Ken and is looking for any excuse to fire him. Luckily, Ken has receptionist Damona (Tisha Campbell-Martin) on his side.
Despite putting his foot in his mouth most of the time, Ken is committed to being a good physician as well as a good husband and father.
His long suffering wife is therapist Allison (Suzy Nakamura) and she has her work cut out her to keep things sane at home.
Teenagers Dave (Albert Tsai) and Molly (Krista Marie Yu) are growing up fast and are looking for some freedom in their lives. Ken’s answer is the opposite of freedom — duct tape.
Episode #44 — Ken’s Big Audition
After an awkward audition with Alison Brie (guest starring as herself), Hollywood producer/writer Dan Harmon (guest starring as himself) makes Ken’s life-long dream come true by casting him in a new comedy series that takes place at a community college. Meanwhile, Pat is ready to declare his love for Damona, but an unexpected visit from his ex-wife, Tiffany (guest star Nia Vardalos), throws him off course; and Allison is less prepared for Molly to leave for Stanford than she’s letting on.
First aired: March 31, 2017.
What do you think? Do you like the Dr. Ken TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Bring it back I miss this show it was so funny
I love Dr. ken show. All the characters are so funny. I enjoyed watching them every Friday. Please bring his show back.
Its a shame that this show is canceled. Its a very funny line up on Fridays with the last man standing. What is really going on these shows are hilarious. Dr Ken show is fantastic to watch!!!
Please reconsider not canceling.
I really liked Dr. Ken. It was fun, very entertaining, clean cut, and a pleasure to watch. Please bring it back.
Please bring Dr Ken back. This is one of the few tv shows I really, really enjoyed! It was laugh out loud funny!!!
I enjoyed Dr. Ken. I think it’s a great family show, entertaining and funny. Don’t have many of those kinds of shows to watch anymore.
I love this show but I’m sure you will cancel it because you cancel all the good shows.
I would like Dr Ken to be more like “Leslie Chow” type character. Wild and crazy maniac like in Hangover movies and Knocked Up. He was super funny in those shows. Can you change his character just to a little to be like the funny guy Leslie Chow was. I love Ken Jeong, but this show tends to hold him back some. He changed his life because it bored him, sooooo, why not make him a wild and crazy acter like he wants to be? Thanks.
Keep Dr. Ken!!!! Funnnnnnny!
Keep Dr Ken. Dr Ken was my real life dr a few years back and he’s actually a better sitcom actor. Just kidding. He was great as my dr. Saved my life! But his series makes my wife and me laugh out loud. The show it funny but more importantly, very touching. This show deserves to be shared and to thrive. His inovativeness reminds me of early Cheers. You have to not only watch, but also listen.
Love this show! It’s what we look forward to on Friday night. All the characters are funny, Ken is a riot, Dave Foley is definitely a good match for this comedy. If you want to cancel a show, cancel tim allen and make dr ken an hour long. So many topics to explore without having to preach politics like tim allen. Dr. Ken would make a great series for Net Flix though, so maybe he could do that.
this show is not funny or interesting. I have tried to watch it on different occasions. Please remove this garbage. I cannot believe it’s still on!!
yes pls renew foxs grandfathered the grinder and abc’s dr ken and cbs mike and molly
Love, love, love the Dr. Ken show!
Love this show!! Great chemistry great cast !
Please renew the show and have another amazing season!!!
