After being abandoned by his wife, community-college trope Asian-American Senor Chang became a ... Spanish instructor at Greendale. The character is the most frequent professor in the opening season of the show, a misplaced misanthrope, a master of ruthless cunninglingus (clever use of the tongue), of sadism against his students, and, beneath this facade, of subtle comedic humor. The real-life Ken Jeong is a professional comedian, born to Korean immigrants in Detroit -- including a father who was a professor.
