Prior to fame, Jeong studied medicine.
"He did his residency at UCLA, and he put in all those thousands of hours to be a doctor, hard to do," said Joel McHale, who was a guest speaker at the ceremony Wednesday.
"And then, you know what Ken said while he was doing that, he said, I think I'll go on some open mics," McHale added.
Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said Jeong's transition between the two fields "is a testament to his remarkable talent and dedication.""In short, the doctor is in!" she said.
Jeong was honored with the Walk of Fame's 2,794th star.
