Why Ken Jeong wants more Asians to succeed in Hollywood

Ken Jeong

Ken Jeong couldn’t be happier about the growing presence of Asians and Asian-Americans on the entertainment scene. In our recent interview with him, the comedian/TV host said that his support for more diversity and inclusivity in Hollywood is more than mere altruism.

“I want to show my daughters that being in entertainment is a sustainable profession [regardless of race],” he explained. “There’s no other job that allows its practitioners to channel their personalities and well-being into what they do.” —RITO P. ASILO
