Checking in with KEN JEONG

When it comes to game shows on Fox, Ken Jeong certainly is one of the network’s go-to personalities. A regular panelist on “The Masked Singer,” the comedian, actor, licensed doctor and former “Community” co-star is also the host of “I Can See Your Voice,” the series in which Cheryl Hines (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Adrienne Bailon-Houghton (“Raven’s Home”) and guest “celebrity detectives” help a player deduce whether other participants can sing … before they croon a single note. Based on that guesswork, many supposed singers are eliminated, and the one who remains joins an established music star for a duet. Jeong is also an executive producer of the show, which is inspired by the South Korean program of the same name. “I Can See Your Voice” returns to Fox with new episodes of its third season Thursday, May 16. Jeong has done other jobs for Fox as well, as a host of specials and a guest on other series such as “The Simpsons” (in voice only, of course) and “Crime Scene Kitchen,” but his career dates back to the stand-up comedy he performed while he was studying medicine in North Carolina. He continued those dual professions when he moved to Los Angeles, but he ultimately leaned more towards entertainment as his live performances helped him gain work on NBC’s “The Office” and HBO’s aforementioned “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” among other shows. After roles in such movies as “The Hangover” (2009) and “Zookeeper” (2011), Jeong brought his principal interests together by starring in and executive-producing the ABC sitcom “Dr. Ken,” which ran for two seasons, from 2015-17. He would be back on TV regularly soon afterward with the 2019 premiere of “The Masked Singer,” a ratings success from the start; it’s slated to wrap its 11th season May 22, on Fox. With “I Can See Your Voice” now resuming, Jeong continues to affirm himself as a homescreen star for all seasons — and that’s a tune he definitely can carry.
