About the Show

Dr. Ken is an American television sitcom created, written and co-executive produced by series star Ken Jeong, who based the concept on his experience as a doctor prior to becoming a stand-up comedian.

Doctor-turned-actor/comedian Jeong (Community, The Hangover) plays Dr. Ken, a brilliant physician with no bedside manner. He is always trying to be a good doctor as well as a good husband and dad to his two kids. However, these good intentions have a way of driving everyone crazy at work and at home.

Luckily, his therapist wife, Allison, is just the right partner to keep things sane.

In the show's premiere episode, Ken is stressed out at work over his whining, complaining patients so he needs a session with his therapist/wife; while back at home, Ken is nervous about his daughter's driving test - what if she doesn't fail!

Dr. Ken stars Ken Jeong as Dr. Ken, Suzy Nakamura as Allison, Tisha Campbell-Martin as Damona, Dave Foley as Pat, Jonathan Slavin as Clark, Albert Tsai as Dave and Krista Marie Yu as Molly.

Dr. Ken was written by Jared Stern, Ken Jeong, and Mike O'Connell. Executive producers are Jared Stern, Ken Jeong, John Davis, John Fox and Mike Sikowitz, with Mike O'Connell as co-executive producer.

Dr. Ken is produced by Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios.
