‘Relax, ESPN’: Ken Jeong stuns network’s commentators with shout-out to his wife

Asian American comedian Ken Jeong left ESPN commentators at a loss for words after giving a shout-out to his wife.

“Relax, ESPN”: Over the weekend, Ken Jeong appeared on ESPN’s “College GameDay” as a guest picker and surprised the set with one of his jokes, reported Mediaite.

As ESPN commentators Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and Desmond Howard discussed their picks for the late-night contest between Utah and UCLA, Jeong made a personal connection regarding his selection.

“I’m going UCLA because my wife went to UCLA med school,” Jeong said. “Shout out, Tran. You complete me, Ho!”
The “GameDay” commentators appeared surprised at the comment, but they also laughed after Jeong explained his joke. “That’s her last name,” he said. “Relax, ESPN. How dare you!”
The name of Jeong’s wife is Tran Ho. He has used her name in the past to make similar jokes. His first Netflix stand-up special, which was released in 2019, was titled “Ken Jeong: You Complete Me, Ho.”
