Ken Jeong: First Date (2019 TV Special)
5/10
Great story telling, passable stand-up
19 February 2019
Though switched this on for the comedy, I didn't feel gripped by the comedy. Ken's jokes were by no means as bad as what other reviews seem to be parroting. However, I will admit that I did soon grow tired with his reliance on cheesy Asian stereotypes and bragging. This shouldn't be too surprising as his previous works have been built more on shock value and vulgarity rather than wit or nuance.

The redeeming part of the act was the autobiographical storytelling of some of the more important and vulnerable parts of his life that led him to his success.

If you are interested in Ken worth a watch for the stories alone. However, I wouldn't clear your evening plans to watch this.
