Ken Jeong Is Developing His Own Syndicated Daytime Talk Show Slated to Premiere in 2024

The actor and comedian, 54, is developing a syndicated talk show with Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury which is slated to premiere in 2024, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jeong also will executive produce the show together with Jim Biederman, who has worked on a variety of talk and sketch comedy shows including Kids in the Hall and The Andy Dick Show.

Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said Jeong — who has appeared as a judge on The Masked Singer since the singing competition series launched in 2019 — has "what it takes to succeed" in the crowded and competitive talk show space.

“Audiences connect with Ken on many levels — not only because is he so talented, entertaining and unapologetically hilarious but their sense that he is sincere, compassionate, fearless, friendly, just genuinely nice — all essential ingredients that make for long-term success as a talk show host," they said in a statement.

"He is also a talent capable of conquering any time period with his mix of comedy, Hollywood celebrity friends and ability to bring viewers," they added.
