Jeong makes an attempt to convince the guys that he should be added to their band, too. (Luckily, Bennington gives him some singing lessons.) There’s also some insight into Bennington’s likes and dislikes: he’s a big fan of tacos, is deeply into the game Dungeons & Dragons, and is willing to learn an impromptu dance called the “hot dogs and ketchup,” courtesy of teacher Jeong. He also reminisces on getting paid $4 per hour as a leaf blower in his past, before getting into the karaoke segment with the rest of the guys in a party bus while bedecked in faux flower leis and a feather boa. In a more serious part of the drive, he reflects on his kids’ interests, including music and songwriting. “I just want them to find whatever it is,” he says of his hope that his children find and follow their passions. Dedicated to the memory of Bennington, the video also includes a link at the end to the [One More Light Fund](https://musicforrelief.z2systems.com/np/clients/musicforrelief/donation.jsp?campaign=1), established to honor their bandmate. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4980401/linkin-park-carpool-karaoke/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4980401/linkin-park-carpool-karaoke/"},"headline":"Watch Linkin Park's Previously Unaired Carpool Karaoke with Ken Jeong","datePublished":"2017-10-12T20:10:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:27.080Z","description":"The singalong video was filmed with Chester Bennington, his band and comedian Jeong a week before Bennington's death this summer.","url":"https://time.com/4980401/linkin-park-carpool-karaoke/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Late Night Television","carpool karaoke"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt912907e049340aad/6988e1c797cdff01b46b2d26/screen-shot-2017-10-12-at-3-37-37-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt912907e049340aad/6988e1c797cdff01b46b2d26/screen-shot-2017-10-12-at-3-37-37-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"linkin-park-carpool","caption":"","creditText":"Apple Music","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4980401/linkin-park-carpool-karaoke/","name":"Watch Linkin Park's Previously Unaired Carpool Karaoke with Ken Jeong"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"In Memoriam: Chester Bennington","description":"Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington was found dead in his home on Thursday morning, the Los Angeles County coroner said.
