Ken Jeong

Everyone all over the globe fell in love with the hilarious Ken Jeong in the Hangover trilogy, but long before he pursued an acting career, he is actually a licensed medical doctor. Mind blowing, yeah, we know. Jeong is the son of Korean immigrants and he received his MD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1995. It was actually Jeong’s wife, Tran Ho, who is also a physician, that encouraged Jeong to pursue his love of acting. All that medical knowledge is coming in handy as Jeong plays a physician on the new ABC comedy Dr. Ken.

Rachel Maddow

MSNBC’s political chat program The Rachel Maddow Show is incredibly popular plus the host is crazy smart. This incredible woman of whom we are just not worthy of, has a few degrees, yeah, a few. Which includes a doctorate in political science from Oxford University, where Maddow was a Rhodes Scholar. Excuse me, I need to contact a plumber as I’ve left the tap on for far too long after reading that bombshell.
