>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME, CONGRATS ON RETURNING TO THE

STUDIO.

>> James: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE'RE VERY PLEASED FOR YOU TO

SAY THAT, YOU ARE A PHYSICIAN, YOU ARE SKILLED, BUT ANY ADVICE

FOR US?

WE THINK WE ARE DOING OKAY.

ONCE A DAY ONE OF US WILL FREAK OUT.

DO YOU THINK WE ARE SAFE, ARE WE OKAY?

>> YES, I REALLY BELIEVE YOU GUYS ARE OKAY.

I EVEN NOTICED OFF STAGE, JAMES, YOU WERE WEARING A MASK IN

BETWEEN SHOTS.

AND THAT IS WHAT I DID WHEN I WAS ON THE MASKED SINGER IN MY

OTHER SHOWS.

AND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO IS SOCIAL DISTANCE,

MASK AND JUST KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE WHICH IS NOT JUST

PUTTING ON A GOOD SHOW BUT BEING HEALTHY AND SAFE TO PUT ON A

GOOD SHOW IT IS INCREDIBLY HARD FOR EVERY PRODUCTION RIGHT NOW

AND I TRULY APPLAUD YOU FOR DOING IT AND I AM VERY

EMPATHETIC AND COMPLETELY RELATE ON MANY LEVELS.

>> I'M NOW AT THE POINT WHERE I AM APPROXIMATE-- I'M SO PROMASK,

OUTSIDE OF CORONAVIRUS.

I WILL TELL YOU WHY, I WILL TELL YOU WHY, IT IS SO GOOD YOU NO

LONGER HAVE TO STIEF EL A YAWN.

WHICH I THINK IS THE WORST PART OF THE DAY, YOU KNOW WHEN

SOMEONE IS TALKING TO YOU AND ARE YOU LIKE I JUST FEEL A YAWN,

YOU GO.

DON'T EVEN HAVE TO DO IT.

SOME WOMAN TALKING TO ME THE OTHER DAY, I WAS ACTIVELY

YAWNING IN THEIR FACE, THEY HAD NO IDEA.

UNDER THE MASK, UNDER THE MASK IT WAS LIKE-- ST IS A GAME

CHANGER.

>> IT IS LOVELY.

I MEAN SOMEONE WITH MY DISTINCT LOOK THAT GETS RECOGNIZED ON THE

STREET AS MR. CH OW, I CAN WALK AROUND AND NOT GET NOTICED.

IF I BUY GROCERY, AND THEY GO ARE YOU CHOW, WASN'T ME, NOT ME.

I WILL SPEAK WITH A SOUTHERN ACCENT IT IS NOT ME, MAN, I

DON'T KNOW WHO MRS. CHOW IS.

GREAT, WONDERFUL.

>> James: NOW KEN, I FEEL WE HAVE TO SALUTE AND APPLAUD YOU

BECAUSE YOU ARE NOW THE KING OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT YOU ARE THE KING

OF FOX ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

FOX ON CONSEQUENCES, THEY SHOULD RENAME IT THE KEN JEONG CHANNEL

IS I CREDIBLE.

TWO SHOWS, ONE OF THEM IS THE NUMBER ONE SHOW IN THE COUNTRY

AND YOUR BRAND NEW SERIES, I CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE, BOTH OF THESE

SHOWS PREMIER TOMORROW ON FOX.

WHAT ARE THE PERKS OF HAVING YOUR OWN NIGHT ON THE NETWORK?

>> WELL, YOUR POINT RETURNING TO STUD WHY FOR ME WAS, WELL, FOR

ME AS A DOCKS TOR WHO KNOWS THE REALITY AND-- AS A DOCTOR WHO

KNOWS THE REALITY AND COVID IN THE PANDEMIC, I WAS NERVOUS.

SO I INSISTED ON HAVING AN OUTDOOR-- MIND YOU, WE TARTED I

CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE AT THE END OF JULY.

WERE WE ARE IN PEAK SUMMER HEAT AND NUMBER OF CASES.

AND I KNEW IF YOU WERE OUTSIDE, THAT REALLY HELPS MITIGATE THE

SPREAD.

VIRUS, SO IN 110 DEGREE WEATHER, MY BIGGEST REQUEST WAS MAWKING

SURE I HAD EVERYTHING TO GO OUTDOORS, MY HAIR AND MAKEUP.

I DIDN'T HAVE AN INDOOR TRAILER, I HAD AN OUTDOOR TENT AND

LITERALLY, ALL MY MAKEUP WAS DRIPPING, I LOOKED LIKE A CLOWN

CRYING, YOU KNOW, EVERY SUNG EL DAY.

AND THERE WAS JUST LIKE-- I'M INSISTING I HAVE AN YUT DOOR

TENT.

THEY'RE LIKE YOU GOT IT THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I'M A STAR AND

I'M JUST DRIPPING.

THEY CALLED AND SAID I CAN SEE YOUR CLOWN CRYING, IT WAS REALLY

A DIFFERENT DYNAMIC THE WHOLE TIME.

BUT IT WAS PORNTD FOR ME TO BE OUTDOORS.

AND IT REALLY IS.

WE'RE DOING TWO SHOWS AT THE SAME TIME.

DOING THE SHOW ON CAMERA AND THEN DOING ANOTHER, A MEDICAL

PROFESSION BEHIND THE SCENES WHERE THERE ARE ACTUAL REAL LIFE

LIFE-AND-DEATH CASES.

IT IS EXHAUSTING KEEPING YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE AND THAT IS

WHAT I DID.

I HAD AN OUTDOOR TENT WHERE EVERYBODY HAD AN AIR CONDITIONED

TRAILER, BETWEEN EVERY TALK I WOULD GO OUTDOORS AS MUCH AS

POSSIBLE.

>> .

>> WHEN YOU WAKE UP ON A WEDNESDAY MORNING, KNOWING,

KNOWING THE TRUTH THAT YOU CAN JUST OPEN THE WUND OWE AND SHOUT

YOU'RE WELCOME AMERICA.

LIKE THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MUST FEEL LIKE TO HAVE SUCH A HIT

SHOW.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THIS SHOW IS TECHNICALLY ON.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE ON NOW.

I BURNED INTO SOMEBODY HERE IN THE STUDIO, WHO IS VERY, VERY

HIGH UP WITHIN THE NETWORK OF STUDIOS.

AND THEY SAID OH, MAN, LISTEN, I'M LOVING THE SHOW IN YOUR

GARAGE AND I HOPE ONE DAY WE CAN-- I SAID I HOPE ONE DAY WE

CAN GET YOU BACK IN THE STUDIO.

AND I WAS LIKE WHAT THE [BLEEP] DO YOU THINK I'M DOING HERE?

BUT THE MASKED SINGER, IT IS SUCH A HUGE HIT IT IS SO

MASSIVE.

AND THIS SEASON SZ YOU HAVE SOME VERY, VERY FAMOUS CONTESTANTS.

>> OH YEAH, WE HAVE SOME BIG NAMES.

IT IS OUR BEST SEASON YET.

IT IS DEFINITELY IS.

AND WE HAVE, I DON'T-- I MEAN YOU ARE CONFIDENT THAT YOU KNOW

WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE, YOU ARE PROBABLY SMARTER AS A JUDGE THAN

I WOULD BE ON THE MASKED SINGER.

>> James: DID I TELL YOU WHY I AM CONFIDENT THAT YOU HAVE TWO

STARS.

>> WHY.

>> James: BECAUSE CORONAVIRUS HAPPENED AND I BET THERE IS A

LOAD OF PEOPLE REALIZE THEG HAVE A-- TO PAY.

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK ALL MY WORK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR IS

GONE.

I HAVE TO PAY THAT.

>> AND TO YOUR POINT I THINK THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THE BEST

SEASON, THE BEST QUALITY SEASON SO FAR, IS BECAUSE THE CHAL ENT

POOL IS SO DEEP AND SO-- THAT THE BENCH IS VERY DEEP RIGHT NOW

AND WHEN WE GOT THROUGH THE SEMIFINALS IT IS LIKE WATCHING

NFL FOOTBALL.

ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, ANY ONE PERSON OUT OF LIKE A DOZEN COULD WIN

THE WHOLE THING.

IT WAS PRETTY AMAZING TO WATCH.

>> NOW YOU ARE-- YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A CONTESTANT ON

THE MASKED SINGER.

HERE YOU ARE ON THE SOUTH KOREAN VERSION.

TELL ME, WAS IT HARD TO PERFORM IN THATS COULD SEUM-- COSTUME?

>> YEAH, IT'S DIFFICLT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU WORRY THAT THEY

CAN'T HEAR YOU SINCE.

I'M DRESSED AS A PIG, IT WAS IN 2019, THE YEAR OF THE PIG SO I

DRESSED AS A GOLDEN PIG SINGING RADIOHEAD'S CREEP.

THERE IS SOMETHING LIB ATE-- LIBERATING.

THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHY I LOST.

AND IT IS ALSO VERY SURREAL AND NICE AND LOVELY TO SHALL JUDGED

SUNGING SINCERELY WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING WHO I WAS.

SO THAT PART, THAT A AN NIM TIT WAS LIBERATING BUT THE DOWNSIDE

IS I AM SINGING IN A PIG OUTFIGHT-- OUTFIT, THAT IS THE

ONLY DOWNSIDE, RADIOHEAD, PIG.

THERE ARE TWO TASTES THAT DON'T GO GREAT TOGETHER.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MINING.

>> I ACTUALLY THINK THE-- .

>> THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL COVER OF THE BAND.

>> WHEN THEY WROTE THAT SONG THEY THOUGHT ONE DAY.

>> YEAH.

>> ONE DAY AN ASIAN ENTERTAINER WILL GO IN SOUTH KOREA AND DO

THE NUMBER ONE SHOW AS A ONE-OFF AND SUJ OUR SONG RADIOHEAD'S

CREEP THAT WE NEVER SING IN CONCERTS.

>> DRESSED AS A GOLDEN PIG, ISN'T IT.

>> THE SHOW IS SO MASSIVE.

AND I CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE, I THINK IT WILL BE EQUALLY AS

SUCCESSFUL.

I'M SO HAPPY FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED.
