While the fans are still getting frenzy over the news of Randall Park set to appear a cameo role in "Dr. Ken," reports have now emerged that Ken Jeong will also soon return the favor by doing a guest stint in "Fresh Off The Boat."
The talked-about episode will air in May, wherein Jeong will play the role of Louis' (Park) twin brother. The former will make an appearance in the show in the pretext of personally inviting Louis and Jessica (Constance Wu) to his wedding.
Meanwhile, Park will appear in "Dr. Ken" in an April episode. He is likely to play the seemingly straight-laced leader of a Korean Men's Club that turns out be a wilder bunch than anyone suspected.
Jeong's recent guest appearance in the ABC' hit comedy series does not comes as a surprise since the mutual admiration between the two actors is a known fact. Recently, while speaking during an interview, Jeong gave full credit to "Fresh Off The Boat" for paving the way for "Dr. Ken" to appear on TV.
"Fresh Off The Boat is groundbreaking, and quite frankly, if it wasn't for Fresh Off The Boat, Dr. Ken wouldn't be on the air," Jeong told Deadline.
This is not the first time that the two ABC's hit shows are crossing over. Viewers of the show remember that "Dr. Ken"'s child star Albert Tsai recently appeared in "FOTB" to do a cameo role of Chinese wunderkind Phillip Goldstein. On the other hand, Ian Chen of "FOTB" appeared in "Dr. Ken" last week's episode as a neighbor that Dave (Tsai) hires to replace him.
Meanwhile, Tsai is admitedly eager to do a movie with his on-screen dad Jeong. The actor is already known for comic roles of epic proportions in the movies like "Knocked Up" and "The Hangover."
"Yeah, playing his son might be cool again," the 11-year-old told Wetpaint on being quizzed about how he feels about doing a movie with Jeong. "That sounds pretty cool, yeah."
"FOTB" airs every Tuesday at 8 p.m. on ABC while "Dr. Ken" is shown every Friday at 8:30 p.m. on the same channel. Meanwhile, catch the trailer of the former show below:
