Ken Jeong

Last night, on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network), Ken did every voice on Frankenhole. Here’s a clip.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

The study group will battle several foes when the NBC comedy returns on Thursday, March 15.

Just in case its PaleyFest panel this past weekend and the new animated shorts didn’t already have Community fans in a fit over the NBC comedy’s return on Thursday, March 15 at 8 p.m., maybe an epic new trailer will do the trick?

Community star Joel McHale’s E! pop culture show, The Soup, premiered an extended sneak peek on Wednesday. It previews what’s to come in the season’s remaining episodes.

Dubbed “the dark season” by creator Dan Harmon, the new trailer for the remainder of Season 3 shows Greendale’s beloved study group under attack from all kinds of foes from Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) to Vice Dean Laybourne (John Goodman) and Chang (Ken Jeong).

In fact, McHale slipped during PaleyFest when he mentioned that Chang had an army and the trailer gives a preview of what he was talking about.

Don’t forget, you can now order Snowman Chang at the NBC store!

Merry Changmas!

‘Community’ fans know this better than anyone: Ben Chang is crazy, y’all.

Ken Jeong’s twisted character went from Senor Spanish teacher to study group stalker to possible daddy of Shirley’s baby (thank god little Ben Bennett was born black and tail-less), but we’ve got the exclusive first look of him in his new role: Greendale security guard.

Yes, the game is Chang-ing for ‘Community’ Season 3 (premieres Thurs., Sept. 22, 8PM ET on NBC).

Instead of still trying to be one of the gang, it sounds like Chang will be using his new-found power over the Human Beings to try to scare them into hanging out with him again. Or maybe he’s taken the search for Annie’s Boobs just a bit too far.

In an interview with Vulture, creator Dan Harmon teased a bit about Chang’s frightening new position of authority: “We have a story line that will detail his rise to power. I wanted to tell a story of acquiring power and what it does to you. It’s a little ‘Macbeth’ or ‘Scarface.’ Or maybe something from ‘The Wire.’”

He then went on to say that Chang’s guard duties will actually make the campus less secure (again — he’s insane), but that it will provide us with a cool genre spoof early on with a noir-style episode.

I visited the set yesterday and heard some more talk about his crazy detective work coming in Episode 4, titled ‘Competitive Ecology,’ which sounds like a noir Chang I’m totally on Chang for.

Ken Jeong, who gained Hollywood recognition by playing the doctor on “Knocked Up” and as the crazy butt-naked villain in “The Hangover” visited “On Air With Ryan Seacrest” to tell us his journey to fame and his latest acting gig on NBC’s “Community“!

Former Doctor Kendrick Jeong recounts his journey from actually being a “really serious and pretty intense” general practitioner intern at Kaiser Permanente when he always knew acting was what he truly aspired to do in life. With past experience in acting, stand-up comedy on the side, and an audition for the movie later, he stopped practicing medicine to pursue his acting career!

But who knew coming into the studio that Dr. Ken would have a surprise patient working in the office! Mark, one of the “On Air” employees, realized that Ken was actually his doctor in Woodland Hills! Hilariously, he jokes to former patient Mark: “We’re not allowed to say it…foot fungus…we can’t say it out loud.” It was an embarrassing but funny encounter that he “met [a] former patient on air.”

After his first breakthrough performance, we will always remember his next and most recognized scene in “The Hangover” jumping out of the back of a car butt-naked! He admits that it was actually his own idea to bare it all! With these two successful films, he describes his journey: “‘Knocked Up’ opened the door and ‘Hangover’ just burst it wide open.”

His latest gig is acting as an all-around “pathetic annoying character” on NBC’s “Community” with friend Joel McHale. He describes the comedic TV show as “the best job day ever.”

As for the next ‘Hangover’ movie? He says it changed his life and would love to be a part of it! Catch Ken play his character “Chang” on NBC’s “Community” on Thursdays at 8/7c!

Star Wars and Stand Up To Cancer — a.k.a. SU2C, the initiative founded in 2008 to help fund cutting-edge cancer research — have teamed up to create a special line of Star Wars-themed SU2C t-shirts called “Use the Force for Good.” And to commemorate the occasion, several celebs, including Emma Stone (Crazy, Stupid, Love.), Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live), and Ken Jeong (The Hangover Part II, Community), have banded together to share their love of the Star Wars universe. (It doesn’t hurt that the Blu-ray editions of the six Star Wars films hit stores this Friday.)

You can check out more of EW’s exclusive shots from Stone and Jeong’s involvement in the promotion below:

To mark the event — which coincides with the release of the Star Wars Blu-ray editions — a gaggle of geek-friendly celebs have gathered together to express their love of Star Wars and their commitment to SU2C. You can check out the video of Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Ken Jeong, Ed Helms, Jaime King, and Samuel L. Jackson below, along with some exclusive outtakes featuring Samberg, Stone, Hader, Rogen, Jeong, and Helms. Stone also discusses how the late Laura Ziskin, the producer of The Amazing Spider-Man who was instrumental in SU2C (especially its two national telethons), was the catalyst for her involvement in the organization. Check the videos out below:

The outtakes can be watched here.

The season starts September 26, and look who’s gonna be one of the guests…

There are plenty of crazy characters on Community, but none is as genuinely certifiable as Ken Jeong’s Benjamin Chang. He began season one as a madcap, authoritarian Spanish professor, but by season two had devolved into an occasionally Gollum-like creature, a man who boasted of eating his twin in utero (no, really) and was also a lonely outsider longing to be let into the study-group clique. So what does Community creator Dan Harmon have in store for Chang come season three? We caught up with Harmon last week for the scoop, which you can find below — along with an exclusive Vulture preview of a new NBC.com video montage compiling some of Chang’s most memorable moments.

Harmon tells us that after drifting around a bit last season without a clear mission, “This season I hope to tell a more structured story about Chang.” Specifically, Jeong’s character will be a security guard when classes resume September 22. “We have a story line that will detail his rise to power,” he says. “I wanted to tell a story of acquiring power and what it does to you. It’s a little Macbeth or Scarface. Or maybe something from The Wire.” Will Chang be a corrupt fake cop? “He’s corrupt in the sense that the campus is less secure than if he wasn’t a security guard. But he’s mostly insane,” Harmon explains.

One other tidbit: An early story about Chang in his new role will be told noir-style. Meanwhile, despite a bit of redemption for Chang at the end of last season — Shirley named her new son after him — Harmon says viewers should keep their sympathies somewhat in check. “He is genuinely insane,” he says. In case you need proof, the video below should do the trick.
