Q. Being a semi-autobiographical show, how much of Dr Ken is similar to the real Dr Ken?
A. The show is based on my life but a lot of it had to be changed. Ken on the show is good at heart but tends to overreact and can be blunt. I don’t overreact and cannot be blunt as I am a sensitive person. Refreshing my doctor skills for the medical part of the show was a fun process. A lot of my friends are doctors, and my wife is a doctor too, so I had their support and advice for the content.
