Ken Jeong, who is managed by Aligned Entertainment Group, has been unveiled as the face of Fabletics’ latest promotional push for its Fabletics Scrubs product line. The campaign humorously spotlights Jeong, known for his comedic chops and medical background, as he steps out in a pair of royal blue scrubs, much to the delight of a Hollywood star-spotting bus tour that happens to catch him in the act.
In the ad, the tourists eagerly request Jeong to reenact memorable scenes from his breakout role in The Hangover, including the iconic moment when he hops out of the trunk of a car. The campaign cleverly ties Jeong’s real-life medical background to his on-screen persona, creating a relatable and entertaining narrative for the Fabletics Scrubs line.
Ken Jeong’s Medical and Entertainment Career
Ken Jeong’s involvement in this campaign is particularly fitting given his unique background. Before becoming a household name in comedy, Jeong earned a medical degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and practiced internal medicine for several years. Despite his successful transition into entertainment, he remains a licensed physician in California, which adds authenticity to his role in promoting a healthcare-related product.
Previous Health-Focused Campaigns
This is not Jeong’s first foray into health-focused advertising. At the start of 2023, he re-upped for a campaign promoting Xiidra, a dry eye disease treatment by Novartis. This followed his appearance in another commercial for the same treatment in 2022, where he candidly discussed his own experiences with the condition. These campaigns underscore Jeong’s ongoing connection to the medical field, making him a credible and engaging spokesperson for health-related products like Fabletics Scrubs.
By leveraging Jeong’s dual expertise in medicine and comedy, Fabletics’ campaign effectively merges entertainment with practicality, appealing to both healthcare professionals and fans of Jeong’s comedic work. This collaboration highlights Jeong’s versatility and reinforces his unique position in the entertainment and health industries.
