Career
Jung made his television debut on the sketch comedy show Gag Concert in 2002. On the show, he performed a sketch called "Do-Re-Mi Trio," in which he and two other comedians sang excerpts of popular songs, adding comedic punch lines to the end.{{Cite web|url=http://sbssports.sbs.co.kr/news/news_content.jsp?article_id=E10003897094|script-title=ko:'도레미트리오' 정형돈 민망한 부위 옷 터져…'최강의 슬랩스틱 뮤직개그'|date=June 9, 2013|website=SBS Sports Entertainment|language=ko|access-date=July 29, 2018}}
In 2005, Jung joined the cast of a new variety show called Infinite Challenge. Though the show initially had low viewership ratings,{{Cite news|url=https://news.joins.com/article/22483257|script-title=ko:바보들의 응원가 '무한도전', 다시 만날 수 있을까|last=No|first=Jin-ho|date=March 28, 2018|work=JoongAng Ilbo|access-date=July 31, 2018|language=ko}} it went on to be a hit, and several of the songs Jung recorded for the show's periodic "song festivals" charted in the top ten of South Korea's music charts.{{Cite news|url=https://entertain.v.daum.net/v/20150903175907116?entertainSectionName=entertain&entertainLeafName=20150903175907116|script-title=ko:한국방송대상 '무한도전', 어떻게 '국민예능'으로 우뚝 섰나|last=Choe|first=Bo-ran|date=September 5, 2015|work=Sports Chosun|access-date=July 31, 2018|language=ko}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2018061117020660771|script-title=ko:정형돈 '내 저작권료 가수 중 상위 10%'…'강북 멋쟁이'·'해볼라고' 제작|date=June 11, 2018|work=Asia Economy|access-date=July 31, 2018|language=ko-KR}}
Jung joined the cast of the first season of the marriage simulation show We Got Married in 2008. He was initially paired with television personality Saori until her departure from the show. He was later paired with singer Taeyeon of Girls' Generation. The match caused an uproar from Girls' Generation fans, in part due to the 11-year age gap between the two entertainers.{{Cite news|url=http://star.mt.co.kr/stview.php?no=2009040712543899859|script-title=ko:정형돈, '우결'결혼→이혼→재혼→'진짜'사랑까지|last=Kim|first=Kyeo-ul|date=April 7, 2009|work=Star News|access-date=July 31, 2018|language=ko-KR}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.nocutnews.co.kr/news/4134531|script-title=ko:열애 정형돈, 5월 초 '우결' 전격 하차|last=Jo|first=Eun-byeol|date=April 7, 2009|work=CBS No Cut News|access-date=July 31, 2018|language=ko-KR}}
