Jeong, who won Best WTF Moment, jumped from joking to a more serious subject in his acceptance speech, saying "Todd and Bradley Cooper, a good friend of mine, actually helped me through a really difficult time when my wife was going through breast cancer treatment ... "The reason why I [appeared in 'The Hangover'] is that she taught me that life is short, so don't be afraid to take chances."

Ken's wife has been cancer-free for two years.
