It was very brave of your parents to marry during a time when interracial marriages weren't encouraged. I'm glad they stuck to their guns. They're a beautiful couple. Their love for each other is beautiful.

[@akivasandler]

This kind of "compliment" of yours is ethically and factually wrong! "Time when interracial marriages were not encouraged"? As opposed to now? Are they "encouraged" nowadays? What is that "encorangement" or "non-encourangement" is supposed to mean, anyway? Let's look at the interracial marriages stats by year. Michael's parents got married, I assume, some in mid 70s. In 1980, 7% of weddings were interracial. In 2015, it was 17%. For 35 years, it's not that much of a change. There are more reasons to think that the growth is the result of demographics and immigration policy rather than public acceptance. Instead of dramatizing the Yos' belonging to different races you could have celebrated that these two people with so different cultural backgound, American and Korean, the distance that separated them and language issues could fuse into this wonderful unit.

I think they were only acceptable for wm.

[@llinplayadel5627]

Your mom is beautiful!

[@angietsai8399]

My gosh your mom is 71? She’s gorgeous

[@la381]

Your parents are a lot of fun!!! Your mother is gorgeous! Your father seems like an honest man.

[@teddisk848]

What a wonderful relationship you have with your parents, Michael. So beautiful to see in these times.

[@JB-pd3ir]

Yes, I am glad he showed such positive and kind interactions (especially when there is such negativity in this world).

[@allensharond]

Thanks so much for introducing your parents to us. They are so adorable.

[@NYCMonkey23]

You should visit Korea one day if you havent. I went after 26 years and man... the infrastructure and architecture there is insane. Technology is through the roof.

[@satteesingh3741]

Michael, your parents are so precious and funny. I love your father’s humour. Your parents crack me up. You are blessed to have such lovely parents!🙏💕🙏

[@reneeblair7593]

He has his Mom's beautiful smile...

[@cherryorchard5600]

Damn his mother is beautiful.

[@witelenor575]

He's got his father's lips and mother's eyes sooo cute

[@spetruck1]

Wow.... Michael Yo is a beautiful creation by two beautiful people

[@Silverstar257]

Your parents are so adorable! “Melted my little heart” hahaha…

[@txxxchao]

I can see such love you have for your parents.

[@selinadeloach6680]

Love this! So important to document your family stories and history to tell the next generation.

[@Tinishahateyou]

Thank you for putting the parents🥰🥰🥰🥰 I absolutely adore this!!!@@

[@kitsmith806]

Love your humor and watching your parents ❤️

[@rainbowspirit7481]

All you needed to do was fast!! Weight would’ve fallen off!!! That’s what I do, works every time❣️

[@에프킬라-r2d]

유쾌하고 행복해 보이세요 두분 부모님 건강 하게 오래오래 함께 해요

Cyrano De Bergerac of Korea. Love your parents. My Dad was from Boston, my Mom from Tochigi, Japan. I can relate. I miss my parents.

[@sousanabadian6176]

[@echaven2654]

Adorable!

[@retromusings]

Awww. Your folks are so cute and a very old wonderful couple.

[@eddieo.6880]

I love your parents. Your dad being a scientist says not losing any weight after working so hard does not make sense. He forgot about all the ICE CREAM he was eating at night 🤣🤣🤣

[@cynthia9374]

What Amazing parents! 🥰 ur Mom is gorgeous!

[@JusticeWillPrevail101]

Michael ... I always love your voice, accent, tone and the way you pause your words :)

[@mikewilkins2030]

You and your family are very sweet and funny!😂😂❤❤

[@FanOfDemocracy]

[@elizabethkates670]

Your dad, has the greatest laugh

[@jerrypenguin4211]

[@Starlqqking1994]

I agree! I love that he is so humble. He drips with a ton of talent. He will ALWAYS be successful.

[@ReptilesGeniales]

I want the link to that!!!

[@tombirney7276]

If Tyler Perry can become a modern film mogul w/ Madea Diary of a Mad Black Woman franchise; you just set up in ur folks home and roll tape. NO MAKE_UP expense; then OSCAR will become your new little brother. Category: Best Live Action Short on Sanity!

[@bonjouritsizzy3405]

Bravery at a time when interracial marriages weren't accepted necessarily, but even today from both sides...its true.

[@jinishim]

Omgosh I love your dads laugh!!!

[@twinklythingy2445]

They’re so cute and fun

[@sangpark420]

보기만 해도 흐뭇한 마이클 패밀리. 요즘 마이클 코미디에 푹 빠졌습니다. You are Korean too~~~

[@CindyBarrymore]

Oliver Sr. Mama Yo bamboozled you to get to America - LMAO!

[@dragonjoy1313]

Your mom is so beautiful!

[@gijen84]

Dads laugh though 😂😂

[@ReptilesGeniales]

I just love your personality 🤣❤️ big support from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@cynthiaspencer9994]

Aaawww. I just think she like she said didn't know what words to use or what to say. People do that now if they are unsure of what to say in text messaging or emails. Same thing. It's not uncommon. He obviously loved and loves her. ❤️ she's precious. They both are.

[@Always_listeningandlearning]

Love your family 💖

[@natures1stgreen240]

Your dad might not have lost weight but could have shifted weight losing fat and gaining muscle. For true accuracy it’s good to also take body measurements. On another note, I wish I could find a love like the one I see in your parents! It’s so lovely to watch!!

[@summiitt]

Hope you get more specials man, enjoyed your family talking points in your comedy. They seem genuine and funny.

[@deeptruthss]

they’re just so cute!

[@이동규-p6j]

헤이 마미! 나이스 투 씨유!

[@cynthiaspencer9994]

Could be the ice-cream 😂

[@tracyukad9371]

Hahahah dad said nothing 🤣🤣🤣

[@Jaacck45]

Sweet love story ❤

[@Trudloops]

2 miles an hour! 🤣

[@cherryorchard5600]

Why is your mothers name first and why don’t you use your dads name as well. Yo Simmons?

[@MC-gt7xn]

Had to get them likes off of 666... 😂

[@luciatheron1621]

Dad build up muscle maybe?

[@ezrhino100]

how does the dad have an asian last name?

[@MMM-go4pl]

He built muscle weight

[@sharaeholmes9322]

🤣🤣

[@lechatleblanc]

for a comedian this guy is seriously unfunny...and the chemistry of this family is seriously non existant.... it feels like 3 really bad actors that hate eachother pretending to be a family...

[@bwillythekid8249]

Lie. Not tru

[@charlottestewart5802]

Your parents are so joyful and obviously very proud of you. Whoever wrote the letter, that little bird got here and snagged her physicist! I do think you should probably stop telling everyone your parents races during every show because you are not truthful. You can be cool without being half African American!! I'm not saying you aren't part black, but come on ...

[@michelegreen4430]

I believe her; as she said her English was limited and she needed help and when the person gave examples to describe what she was trying to say she agreed and the letter was written. In reality someone helped her describe her feelings in English what she wanted to say to the man of her life…that is sooo romantic. What an amazing beautiful couple

[@maylynbayani]

Your mom is beautiful!

[@margrietpetersen2396]

Your parents look like fun! Your mum doesn’t look old enough to have a boy who is in his 40’s.

[@vancolucci5949]

Oh my goodness…I remember in one of Michael’s previous show, he described his father’s laugh which sounded quite funny. Fast forward, in this show, for the first time, I heard his father’s real laugh and it sounded like what Michael had described. I laughed so hard!

[@Starlqqking1994]

Your family is comedy gold! Thank you for letting us into your life. You will always be successful. Continue to be your self and stay to your truth.

[@beverleyreid563]

What a beautiful family. Mom is gorgeous!

[@ComedianLeslieBattle]

What a fun story! Your mom is stunning!

[@kurtjackberhalter1537]

Michael’s parents are jewels,and your mother is gorgeous.

[@nathalienguyen6860]

❤️ your parents so much!

[@kumaridesilva3992]

Your parents are so good looking and so sweet !

[@zhouzen5172]

Korean with Southern Accent, now thats hilarious

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

He gained muscle in all that walking. Muscle weighs more than fat by volume.

[@andytruideman9567]

I totally agree with the mom on the letter writing!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@JusticeWillPrevail101]

This hairstyle suits Michael the best! Love love this looks :)

[@pearlvongpusanachai5942]

Love your stand-ups and your parents ❤️

[@100016]

Ironically he looks like an asian man with a tan and she looks like a high yellow black woman

[@mikewilkins2030]

I hope i can find a wife like your mother! I love blending cultures and genetics!

[@marilynwaaldijk_howell1320]

Love this 😁🤗🎀.

[@caroldavis5877]

Your family is funny. Love all your personalities.

[@moonbear6090]

Michael is a photocopy of his mom😅

[@tianastyle2139]

I love your jokes Michael, what a beautiful family. Keep going man.

[@임서연-s4l]

궁금한게 있어요~~ 엄마아빠가 미국에서 처음에 만났다던데 어디서 뭐하다만나셨는지 궁금해요~~ 부부가 너무 사랑스러워서 그게 궁금해요~~~

[@myrnarodriguez9391]

Didnt your mother teach you if you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all.

[@yayadolmo]

Beautiful family!!!!

[@hablin1]

Cute parents ❤

[@mrtt5931]

So funny!

[@user-dz2dc4qf1w]

I thought his dad was black.

[@jeanwhite4794]

❤❤❤

[@MrsHope-dg3gf]

Muscle weights more than fat, so he may have just converted the fat into muscle.

[@celinagarzamollohan7453]

They are the stars 🤩🤩

[@loriannehancock6364]

Kum, you didn't lose weight because you built muscle while walking, which weighs more than fat.
