Screw the networks and glossy magazines, the places to go for positive Asian American representation are TMZ and the National Enquirer. Exhibit A: TMZ coverage of Ken Jeong. Did they catch him outside some strip club with no underwear? Did they catch him karate kicking the cameraman? Did they catch him eating egg salad off some men’s room floor? No. They caught him picking up his parents from the airport. I love how much love is in that family and how cool they are with PDA. Priceless.
Exhibit B: Check out National Enquirer’s coverage on Ken.
His own publicist couldn’t write up a better article.

Is happily married and dedicated to one’s family the new dirt?

I think that Ken Jeong is hilarious! I have enjoyed his work for a long time now. It’s good that he is a nice, down to earth guy.
Ken really is as nice as he is on the TMZ clip. He’s a great guy who will go far with his great attitude! Love him!!
ken makes me so proud to be a korean american. now, if only i could be as smart and as funny as he is.
he definitely deserves all the success in the world! love you ken!
what is “positive”?
He seems like a cool guy but I don’t know if I’m 100% down with some of his characters.
Gotta love it! Positive asian press! Getting along with your wife and family may have to become the new dirt…. until some young celeb gets married again or goes out into public without clothes….
My wife wants to marry him.
