Ken Jeong roasts Nick Cannon on ‘Masked Singer’ over 11 kids

Nick Cannon found himself at the center of endless jokes during Comedy Roast Night on “The Masked Singer” Wednesday.

And while social media has been having a field day with memes about the Fox show’s host — who recently welcomed his 11th child and is awaiting his 12th — one jokester in particular was none other than panelist Ken Jeong.

“I know Nick is tired,” Jeong, 53, said before looking at Cannon, 42. “He’s been up all night trying to memorize his kids’ names.”

The joke opened the door for others to chime in.

“Masked Singer” contestant Snowstorm took the stage soon after, dedicating Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” to Nicole Scherzinger, who completes the judges’ panel with Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke.

“This song goes out to my favorite fearless lady Nicole, who has had more famous exes than Nick has had baby mamas,” Snowstorm joked.

“Oh, that’s a lot of baby mamas,” Scherzinger, 44, responded before Snowstorm took another playful dig at Cannon.

“I’m just so scared to get too close to you. I don’t want to get pregnant,” the masked contestant said, to which Cannon responded, “It’s pretty cold.”

The “All That” alum became a father of 11 after welcoming a baby girl, Beautiful, with Abby De La Rosa on Nov. 11.

Cannon is also the father of twins Moroccan and Monroe, 11, with ex-wife Mariah Carey; son Golden, 5, daughter Powerful, 1, and son Rise, 1 month, with Brittany Bell; twins Zion and Zillion, 1, with De La Rosa; son Legendary, 4 months, with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx, 2 months, with Lanisha Cole.

While the comedian and Alyssa Scott welcomed son Zen in June 2021, the 5-month-old died that December after battling brain cancer. The duo are currently expecting their second child together, Cannon’s 12th.
