Dong Chengpeng

Dong Chengpeng (simplified Chinese: 董成鹏; traditional Chinese: 董成鵬; born January 12, 1982), better known by his stage name Da Peng, is a Chinese host, comedian, actor, and filmmaker, known for his grassroots-style comedy.

Da Peng joined Sohu in 2004, where he primarily hosted and produced web-based talk shows. In 2010, he became the 53rd disciple of Zhao Benshan. He drew wide attention in 2012 when Conan O’Brien accused his web show Da Peng Debade of copying the opening animation of Conan. That same year, Da Peng transitioned from hosting to acting and directing with the Knallerfrauen-inspired web show Diors Man (2012–2015). Its Internet popularity paved the way for his successful feature-film directorial debut Pancake Man (2015), after which he shifted his focus to cinema and resigned from Sohu in 2018. Da Peng's notable directorial works include City of Rock (2017), A Final Reunion (2018), which won the 55th Golden Horse Award for Best Live Action Short Film and was later expanded into The Reunions (2020), One and Only (2023), and The Lychee Road (2025), many of which he also starred in. His other acting credits include Johnny Keep Walking! (2023) and Dust to Dust (2023).
