Comedian Ken Jeong Interns in Vogue’s Beauty Closet, Discovers the Power of Sheet Masks

Well, I started off my day by walking out of the elevator.

And the doors magically opened like butter.

[cheerful music]

Open

door.

Anna?

Anna?

Anna?

Hi.

Anna?

[Ken grunts]

[shoes clacking]

Excuse me? Yep?

Are you the person helping us out today?

Yeah. You're already late.

Follow me.

Yeah, it's not working

and I think Anna's not here.

I tried calling her several times.

Jenna, we were like a real team, you know?

She had a hard time keeping up with me, quite frankly.

I reorganized several closets

with different fragrances and accessories

and little liquids, gels.

Okay, so here are all of our skincare products.

They're currently organized by different product type,

cleanser, retinol, eye cream, face balm, et cetera.

Retinol ice cream. And your job today

is you're going to reorganize everything alphabetically

A to Z starting with each product

and also make sure that they are smallest to largest

in the back of each category and tray.

Do you have any questions?

Yeah, I.

It was my understanding that I was supposed to be

senior vice president of the Met Gala

and I was supposed to seat Rihanna and Cardi B.

We don't have a senior vice president of the Met Gala

but your job today is going to be in the beauty closet.

Yeah, about that.

Can I have a follow-up question.

Sure.

Do I have to do this? Yes.

Okay, sounds good, everything good here?

Yeah, no, everything's good.

So I'll check on you in a bit, oh and Ken,

oh, don't touch that, you can't touch anything on the table,

this is all just new products and it has to be

very organized in the manner it is right now

so please don't touch anything.

Yeah, just don't touch, right there.

I've always been in need of deep hydration

and moisture retention.

Oh!

Ow!

Jenna?

Ow!

[coughing]

Ow!

Jenna!

Is everything alright in here?

Oh, it's great!

I'm organizing and I'm hydrating

and I'm moisture retent-ing.

This is some really dope af stuff.

And the cool thing is it looks like hairspray

but it's actually water.

Ah!

[coughing]

Jenna asked me to get these.

Yeah, these have to be delivered

to the Bronx Zoo in 25 minutes.

Oh, by who?

'Cause Bronx Zoo is pretty far, running out of time,

right Sam?

Delivery for Ken Jeong.

Oh, yes!

Thank you!

Woo, this place is so stressful.

I relaxed this whole place by throwing out stress balls.

Hey, you get a ball, you get a ball, you get a ball,

you get a ball.

They were so relaxed, it was magic.

Oh.

No disrespect, but you gotta clean up your station

or you don't get this.

[laughing]

Ken. Please hold.

And that is how I became senior vice president

of the Met Gala.

[laughing]

Talk to you later, Jimmy Fallon,

give my love to the Roots.

How's it going over here? Oh, man,

this is such a cush gig, I'm really getting into the flow

of it. Yeah, well

considering you stole thousands of dollars

worth of beauty products, you threw stress balls

at the fashion assistants, and I have a strong feeling

that you touched everything on the table

in the beauty closet with your face.

But not my hands, like we negotiated.

Okay, you know what, Ken, you're fired.

Starting when? Right now.

Okay, let's discuss severance pay.

[Jenna] I don't think so.

I resigned, you know.

When you climb a mountain, there's other mountains to climb.
