Coach K is one of the legends of college basketball and basketball in general, and for decades at Duke, he was the stern guy on the sideline getting his players in position to succeed.
There was no room for joking, because it was always serious business for Mike Krzyzewski, who led the Blue Devils to 5 national championships before retiring after the 2021-22 season. Coach K also got Duke to 13 Final Fours, which is where Duke basketball super fan Ken Jeong just happened to be on Saturday morning.
The actor/comedian is a 1990 Duke graduate and first pursued acting as a sophomore at Duke. During his own legendary career, Jeong has become synonymous with a lot of things, with 1 of them being his love for Blue Devils basketball.
So, there he was on ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday in the leadup to Duke’s Final Four semifinal showdown against Houston, combining his 2 loves: Duke basketball and just being hilarious. Jeong was talking to the ESPN guys about the time that Coach K actually trolled Jeong as they sat courtside together at a Duke game.
“He could not have been more annoyed,” recalled Jeong, as the ESPN crew erupted in laughter. “Coach K was like, ‘Are you sitting here? This is for important people.'”

— College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) April 5, 2025Jeong said Krzyzewski was roasting him “non-stop” during the game, as they sat with Coach K’s wife, Mickie.
For a change, Jeong was the fall guy on the joking matter instead of doing the joking about somebody else. He was probably just glad to be up close and personal with one of his sporting heroes since that couldn’t happen during all those decades when Coach K was busy coaching the Blue Devils.
