College GameDay will make its first-ever trip to Duke this Saturday. A notable alum is joining ESPN for the special occasion.
Ken Jeong announced that he'll serve as the show's weekly guest picker. The doctor-turned-actor got his Bachelor of Science degree from Duke in 1990.
"Ya boy is Duke’s first-ever guest picker," Jeong said in a video posted on social media "Tune in this Saturday at around 11:30 a.m. to see my picks. Let’s go Duke, and see ya soon, Lee Corso!"
Fans are excited for Jeong to commemorate the major moment in Durham.
"You complete us," host Rece Day said, perhaps referencing Jeong's last College GameDay appearance in 2021.
"The Hangover Part Blue Devils," a fan wrote.
"This will be AWESOME!" another fan predicted.
"I’m in," a fan declared.
Jeong, who was born in Detroit, was a guest picker before a 2021 game between Michigan and Michigan State. The Hangover and Community star is a regular at Duke basketball games, but the campus will transform into a football school this weekend.
The Blue Devils have jumped to a 4-0 start, a run that began with an upset over Clemson. Duke is ranked (No. 17) for the first time since 2018 ahead of its Week 5 showdown against Notre Dame.
College GameDay starts at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN ahead of ABC airing Duke's game at 7:30 p.m. ET.
