The prospective series will not be affected by the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike as, like other talkers, it will operate under Network Code which governs unscripted programs.

Jeong has been a panelist on Fox’s The Masked Singer since its debut in 2019. He also hosts Fox’s I Can See Your Voice (which will launch Season 3 in 2024), starred in The Afterparty Season 2, and has lent his voice to Bob’s Burgers, Adventures in Wonder Park and more.
