Ken Jeong on GameDay: College football fans react to comedian’s performance on ESPN
By Adam Spencer
Published:
Ken Jeong, a doctor and popular comedian, was the celebrity guest picker on ESPN’s College GameDay at Duke on Saturday morning.
Jeong is a graduate of Duke and clearly loves his alma mater. And he always brings the energy when he stops by the popular pregame show.
Often, guest pickers have a mixed reaction to their performances on social media after the show ends. Not Ken Jeong. Reactions on social media to Jeong’s efforts were almost unanimously positive.
Here’s a sampling of what was said on X (formerly Twitter) in the aftermath of Jeong’s guest picks (he picked Duke over Notre Dame, of course):
Can Ken Jeong take over for Pat McAfee on #CollegeGameDay?

Is he the best GameDay guest picker ever? Many fans on social media seem to think so!
Will he be proven right about Duke beating Notre Dame? That remains to be seen. Tune in to ABC at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night to see the No. 11 Irish visit the No. 17 Blue Devils.
