As fans eagerly anticipate the much-awaited 'Community' movie, the reunion of co-stars Joel McHale and Ken Jeong is here with a new episode of McHale's Fox comedy 'Animal Control.' This episode also marks the return of 'Kensday,' airing after 'The Masked Singer,' where Jeong serves as a panelist. Variety offers a sneak peek at the duo in action from tonight's episode, with Jeong guest-starring as Roman Park, a dog trainer known for his reputation and eccentricity.
In this episode, Emily, played by Vella Lovell, enlists Park's help with the kennel dogs at the precinct. However, Park's presence disrupts office dynamics and sparks a competition with McHale's character, Frank, for the role of 'Alpha.' Beyond their work on 'Community,' McHale and Jeong have collaborated on various projects, including their podcast 'The Darkest Timeline with Ken Jeong & Joel McHale' and hosting Fox's New Year's Eve special.
'Animal Control,' currently in its second season and renewed for a third, airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET. The show, Fox's first fully owned in-house live-action comedy production, has garnered significant viewership, becoming Fox's most-streamed debut. McHale stars as Frank, an opinionated Animal Control officer who, despite lacking a college education, is the most well-read person in the room.
The series also features Michael Rowland as Fred 'Shred' Taylor, Vella Lovell as Emily Price, Ravi Patel as Amit Patel, Grace Palmer as Victoria Sands, and Gerry Dee as Templeton. Alongside Jeong, guest stars this season include Sarah Chalke and Krystal Smith in recurring roles. 'Animal Control' is created by Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg, and Dan Sterling, with Tad Quill as showrunner. The show's executive producers include Fisher, Greenberg, Sterling, Quill, Jake Fuller, and McHale, with Fox Entertainment Studios producing the series.
