Jo Koy roasting Phil cracked us up! This is probably the most unhinged episode yet. 😆

[@benjiedelossantos965]

Can you find a more lovable person like Jokoy? He always make sure he goes back to his roots! Giving homage to all and spreading positive vibes wherever he goes! I really enjoyed watching Jo and Philip collab! We love you Josep!

[@Libra_Lumirian]

This dude is one of those comedians who used humor to cope with life. You'll know more in his various podcast interviews. Too bad for that GG gig, but he has a special vibe and I'm sure he'll continue blazing a trail. I recommend his 1st and 2nd Netflix specials, Live from Seattle and Comin in Hot

[@Nobody-bq7pl]

I recommend his Comedy Central specials from the early 2000’s. TING TING ykiyk

[@armandoaparte9261]

We admire and salute this guy for being proud of his roots, you are an inspiration to our kababayan , being sentimental about your Mom reflects the beauty and goodness in your soul! Keep it up and more blessings in your career! ❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@rmtagasa]

Damn, Jo Koy always makes me tear up everytime he becomes emotional when it comes to his heritage and his mom. You can really see and feel how much he loves being Pinoy.

[@Ubiquitous_1]

Wongfu meets Jokoy! My inner Asian child is rejoicing! Cool interview!

[@Sakana_Ren]

Philip Wang and Jo Koy in the same building at the same time! Hype!

[@jjpenny1384]

Cousin Herbert is killin it!!!! Making Filipinos proud.

[@effu9375]

Not just Filipino Representation but also our culture at it's core.

[@LTian-so4td]

Emotion = heart! You got great heart jokoy!

[@mariao.5849]

Love the raw emotion. Great interview. I’m a big fan of you both. Rice is rice😁

[@RichPlayz.]

Philip Wang gave such a very good interview. I'm an instant fan.

[@joeyacyatan]

[@chrisdang6218]

Ooo Jo Koy and Wong fu collaboration

[@MsButtaP44]

THIS WAS GOOD! 😂

[@Nobody-bq7pl]

I got to see Jo Koy in Anaheim, dude noticed me in the sixth row out of everyone else because I fell out of my chair laughing so hard. What happened next I did not expect, he was surprised I was Mexican and proceed to destroy me for 30 minutes but with comparison between our cultures. I’ll never forget that night and after the show was over everyone there wanted to take pictures with me in walkways on the way out. I have watched Jo Koy before he got his teeth fixed lol look at my TING TING

[@timeismovingfaster]

Love you Jo Koy!!!😘 I always laugh so much whenever I watch his Netflix specials. 😆

[@krnlakingsfan]

The Danish cookie tin was my grandma's sewing toolbox!!

[@HanaSeikai]

Yes and it can also be an alkansya. or a cash container in sari sari stores. 😄

[@effu9375]

When I was a kid, I was always looking for cookies.....I was disappointed on many occasions.

[@tiffanynsparks]

My neighbors think I am dying right now because I am laughing at the raw hand making a drink😂😂😂

[@sylviaaldovino1361]

So funny! Jokoy always makes me laugh at the same time tear up. First time to see Philip Wang he’s a good host.

[@naruyuyu]

When Jo went to grab the boba bare hand 😂😂😂

[@zulymuneca]

Not me over here 😭

[@dawnmaestascowell6930]

He is a legend! Joy koy we love you

[@TheTrinity87794]

Love this thanks for sharing!

[@dianewien683]

Jokoy your Mom is the best! God bless you for paying tribute to your Mother! I used to work with many Med Techs from the Philippines. When we used to eat lunch and English conversations would change into Tagalog. I obviously couldn't follow but I learned to say 'yes' and 'no' in Tagalog so if I was asked a question, I could answer, but it 20:31 rarely made sense but then they would start to laugh when they realized I didn't understand. We have great Fiestas Filipinos here in KC and I love the food and the dancing! Best of luck!

[@gultidaibetit1574]

Jokoy is amazing! 🇵🇭

[@dawnmaestascowell6930]

Beautiful soul

[@theresalualhati5424]

I love to be a pilipina because of that man im proud to be a pilipino he is a perfect representation of a true pilipino i love jokoy so much

[@asilanom8181]

Great video! I can’t believe you mentioned my aunt Tita Marge…… Margie Portugal. Thank you Jokoy!!! ❤❤❤

[@domino6264]

YOU HAD ME AT THAT ANTI-CILANTRO MOMENT, JOKOY

[@eoceguera801]

This was one of the best ones yet!

[@christinareyes2963]

He’s totally right about broke has no race. I’ve seen a lot of different races talk about something from their childhoods when they had no money and we did the same thing.

[@LTian-so4td]

So fun! I want me a Tear of Jo too ! ❤😂❤😂 hahahaah five fingers!!!!

[@LinYoo-z3h]

A legend!

[@katsugi7]

Love the eat with your hands, Filipino style 😎😂

[@wengzkrizzei]

This is awesome!! I hope to see Jo Koy in Just kidding news and be crazy with the boys! ❤

[@anjalikelling]

Amazing - both of you!

[@chaosqueenaeria8543]

My husband is one of the few where cilantro & horseradish tastes like dish soap.

[@joshknoll5172]

I love Jo Koy. He is so funny.

[@CG-fn2cj]

Empty ice cream containers are for fish and meat, empty cup noodles cup is best "baso"/glass. 😂😂😂

Jo Koy is the kindest 🫶❤️

[@gailsiangco5599]

Sensitive Jokoy ! You are amazing ! Love you in Brooklyn !!!

[@erizzy_]

@youtubeyoutubeyoutube9961 He literally said in the interview he has no relationship with his white dad and his white relatives growing up. They weren't present in his life.

[@lotresoco5374]

Proud. One of the iconic ❤

[@KimberlyCoker-w8f]

Love him!!!

[@kimberlycornelius7911]

Your mom was and is awesome! I love your stories about her ! Original gangster mom she didn't play josefe!

[@Adriana-ue6qg]

I’m Brazilian and growing up 95% of the time I found an ice cream container in the freezer meant frozen beans lol

[@cps2404]

He's the best! 🍷

[@tiffanynsparks]

Yo the peach😂. I honestly never noticed his butt until this special😂

[@babasian]

Agreed with Jo Koy about cilantro. I am Asian and I hate cilantro. I don’t eat them.

[@kwanangwanders588]

Oh naurrrr, we can't bring Jo Koy in Thailand or Vietnam, hahaha! Cilantro is everywhere! hahaha! But when he's there he might like it (like I did). Hahah!

[@FlorenzNightingale]

Love Jokoy 🥰

[@DirtyOldMusic]

Is that Phil's TSX in the background lol

[@angiecoers6255]

I also dislike Cilantro, it's smells like Toe Cheese or Body Odor. Thank you Jokoy.

[@angiecoers6255]

The Filipinos will embrace you faster than any culture. We love our families and Community.

[@angiecoers6255]

Just watch Americas Got Talent, Filipinos rank the most talented Singers. Count how many Beauty Contestants that are Filipino's, too many to count. But the Filipinos are the most Humble people.

[@erizzy_]

@oscarwebb26 Oh you mean the comedian who sells out stadiums, like Madison Square Garden, T-Mobile Arena, and the LA Forum?

[@Excaliburhope]

As a Filipino American I don’t want representation, I want integration. Representation eludes to needing special accommodation, I would rather earn what I merit not have it handed to me.

[@xxMzGeeZYxx]

love this ❤️

[@allio3459]

I hope all Asian Americans support themselves and raise themselves up. It’s not 20 years ago. Nowadays you have a voice and racism is slowly getting killed off. Be out there, have some Asian pride. This is how it is and what we need to do to get respect in the west.

[@3707123]

I love Joseph!

Jo Koy is what you call a comic prodigy with so much potential to become a bigger name until GG tailored made his hosting stint to failure. May the cancel culture FAIL to rob this man with the recognition that he deserves..

doesn’t oat milk have the cancer causing pesticide glysophate?

[@chicourguilla2167]

Cilantro is a native plant!! {Please respect}

[@marylee2732]

He should think about wearing bike shorts to protect his tailbone. It really hurts if you fall on it. Mint is cilantros cousin.

Phil is a horrible host. He obviously doesn't understand and follows the conversation but fakes it horribly!

[@Kuhladestkyicky]

P-Koy. You swear too much in your latest F-ing special.

[@MadPunky]

Wise up people. This guy only represented Filipinos when he was making Money off of us. He exploits Filipinos more than represents. He steals jokes from Rex Naverette.

[@seenseen01]

making money and exploiting?! nah, he has a mom,aunts etc but more importantly his mom a single parent who's proud of him the most that took care 4 kids given how his older brother has a schizophrenic, getting divorced to another country plus the fact he's donating silently, not just to his pledge charities. I've seen people cherry picking everything this man said and paint it to the core of hate geez 🙄🙄

[@XMyFrozenHeartX]

After his terrible sexist jokes involving the premise of the barbie movie, I couldn't care less about him representing filipinos. He's bad representation.

[@lizmercado7360]

Because Barbie was not praised!!!!!? Cry a river😂

[@seenseen01]

as a filipino he wasn't a bad representation but for a person like you, you are one of those seriously and everyone get mistakes, fail etc nobody who's people on earth is perfect such as you are who make judgement out of other's mistakes or failures..so I'd say you are one of those bad representation or crabs.

[@allio3459]

Calm down bozo.

[@norellifernandez3776]

Any jokes better than “mom”? Need to re invent

[@youtubeyoutubeyoutube9961]

His entire comedy is about his Filipino mom but never mentions his white dad. Interesting how he can only make fun of her.

[@BonBonWasHere111]

How many times did you have to say that. You sound like a big hater, huh? I can tell you are the one who is a hack. His last specials barely talk about her, he does have bits about his dad, and he even says he reconnected with his dad because he left once his parents divorced. All he knew was his mom’s side but he talks about how much he respects his dad for what he went through with his schizophrenic brother. His dad left the family at 9 and wouldn’t even call for birthdays so what do you expect??? Comedy is subjective. Plenty of people think he is funny but it is weird that some people use so much energy to be hateful when they don’t know shit. You don’t follow his entire comedy but try to speak on it and I know you don’t because he literally talks about his white dad AND white stepdad all the time just not as much as his mom because like I said his dad left and he talks about how hurtful that was as a kid. That side of the family didn’t reach out. Why are you so mad?

[@seenseen01]

just another idiot that I've seen before who blames out of nothing and acting like knows everything but in reality didn't even know how he talks A LOT since way back then about having both white dads (the one who left them when his parents got divorced and even dad's parents didn't want any of them eitherway.) and step dad who step in as a father for them ( including his brother who has been battling schizophrenia.) his entire family is proud of him and very supportive including his son so ppl really are just plain haters. 😝

[@erizzy_]

Maybe because his white dad and white relatives chose not to be present in his life. He literally said it in the interview.

[@pausegame2319]

Rice is rice dude

[@Adaywithm3]

Saw him live here in Bergen, Norway. Rarely mentioned his mom. Some of his jokes from Brooklyn live was there but also new jokes based on our place. He is a talented comedian. I don’t think he will be this big in his industry if he wasn’t.

[@oscarwebb26]

Isn't this the really unfunny comedian who presented whatever it was a few months ago?

[@BonBonWasHere111]

He is the hilarious comedian who has been on his grind for decades, sells out arenas (including being the first to sell out the forum 6 times), is one of the top 10 paid comedians, just put out a new special that was number 3-5 for weeks, humbly gives his wealth to Hawaii anonymously (people bring it up), and is intentional about uplifting others. If you are focused on the GG still, you really need to touch grass.

[@oscarwebb26]

@BonBonWasHere111 well fair play to him for that. I've only heard of him from the GG 🤷‍♂️

[@youtubeyoutubeyoutube9961]

@@BonBonWasHere111 All he talks about is his Filipino mother but never about his white dad. His entire comedy is just making fun of her. It's so boring and its the same recycled jokes over and over. Of Course he wasn't good at hosting the golden globes, he couldnt talk about filipino shit or mock his mothers accent. He's a one trick pony.
