Kendrick Kang-Joh “Ken” Jeong (born July 13, 1969) is an American comedian, actor, and physician. He is best known for his role as Leslie Chow in The Hangover films and as Señor Ben Chang on the NBC comedy series Community.

Jeong earned his undergraduate degree at Duke University and went on to attain his medical degree at the University of North Carolina. Jeong completed his Internal Medicine residence in New Orleans, all the while developing his comedy. In 1995, he won the Big Easy Laff Off. The competition, judged by former NBC President Brandon Tartikoff and Improv founder Bud Friedman, turned out to be his big break as Tartikoff and Friedman urged him to head to Los Angeles.

Jeong began performing regularly at the Improv and Laugh Factory, and was seen on a number of television shows, including “The Office,” “Entourage” and “MADtv.” It wasn’t until his pivotal role as Dr. Kuni in “Knocked Up,” though, that Jeong solidified himself as a feature film comedian.
