“This place is so stressful,” says comedian Ken Jeong midway through his first (and—unnecessary spoiler alert—only) day as a Vogue intern. First, it was the impenetrable glass doors; then, the mountains of beauty projects to organize, clothing deliveries to the Bronx Zoo to schedule, and where is that calendar invite to the Met Ball planning session with Anna?

The solution: stress balls! Which Jeong proceeds to throw at the fashion assistants, a move that did not exactly diminish the intensity in the office or endear him to his colleagues. Next step for self-care within the 9-to-5 grind at 1 World Trade Center: crystal eye masks and powwows with Jimmy Fallon on the phone. Jeong’s tenure as a Vogue intern comes to an abrupt end. (You can catch him this January as a host of the Fox series The Masker Singer and in his own stand-up special, directed by Jon M. Chu, coming to Netflix in early 2019.) But his sudden departure doesn’t faze him: “When you climb a mountain,” he says, “there are other mountains to climb.”

Watch the first of Vogue’s new series, Vogue Intern, above. (No actual interns were harmed—or hired—in the making of this purely fictional film.)
