‘Doogie Kamealoha, MD’: ‘The Daily Show’s Ronny Chieng Joins ‘Doogie Howser’ Reboot

EXCLUSIVE : Ronny Chieng , one of the correspondents on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah , is going scripted. The comedian has booked a recurring guest star role on the Disney+ reboot of Doogie Howser . This comes after he scored a spot in the ring on NBC's Young Rock. In Doogie Kamealoha, MD, Chieng will play a heart surgeon putting young Doogie through the paces. He will feature alongside Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Kathleen Rose Perkins, Jason Scott Lee, Mapuana Makia and Matthew Sato. Written by Kourtney Kang and set in present-day Hawaii, Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. reimagines the Neil Patrick Harris-starring Doogie Howser M.D. as a half-hour medical dramedy with a female lead. It follows Lahela "Doogie" Kameāloha (Peyton Elizabeth Lee), a 16-year-old mixed-race girl who juggles a budding medical career and life as a teenager. Guiding Lahela — and also complicating things — is her family, including her spitfire Irish mother Dr. Clara Hannon (Perkins), who's also Chief of Staff at the hospital and Lahela's supervisor, and her Hawaiian "Local Boy" father (Jason Scott Lee) who struggles to accept that his daughter is no longer his little girl.
