It’s a short film that illustrates the difficulty of becoming independent and growing as an individual, even if it means turning away from the things you love most. One of the hardest things is having “the talk” about the situation and where to go from here.

Miller Time with Ken Jeong commercial

Actor/comedian Ken Jeong is in the last Miller Lite commercial. If you got your crew and Miller Lite, it’s Miller Time. But if that crew member is Ken Jeong, you better expect some craziness like pet pigs, dressing up like a cowboy, and helping his crew get brews. Nothing is quiet like Miller Time with Ken Jeong, especially if he’s in your fridge.

See Ken Jeong in other commercials: Coca-Cola Zero’s “Say it Again” commercial with Ken Jeong, Stayin’ Alive with Ken Jeong PSA, Fast Don’t Lie – Adidas commercial with Ken Jeong, and Pepto Bismol Tummy Time with Ken Jeong.
