JOKOY.COM - Official website of comedian Jo Koy

Comedian Jo Koy has a few things he always takes with him when he hits the road. From his gold rolex and his Gucci luggage to his Ralph Lauren spandex and Nike Air Sneakers, Jo shows us everything he can’t live without.

Full Size Run is Sole Collector’s weekly sneaker talk and debate show featuring co-hosts Brendan Dunne, Matt Welty, and Trinidad James, and this week they’re joined by Filipino-American comedian Jo Koy on the heels of his new Netflix special, Comin’ in Hot, to talk about why Filipinos are obsessed with sneakers, why he loves Air Jordans, and he roasts Michael Jordan’s worst outfits.

Jo Koy’s teenage son would be understandably embarrassed to hear how his confusion about puberty is served up in this comedy special, shot in Hawaii. (Anticipating the kid’s reaction, Koy incorporates that into his act as well: “Does everything have to be a joke, dad? Come on, seriously.”) But Koy is an equal-opportunity mortifier, and everyone in his orbit is a target — including the audience.

Comedian Jo Koy has announced 11 additional dates for the Just Kidding World Tour with more dates to be announced at a later time. The tour will launch in August, and will be heading to a city near you including: Atlanta, GA, Milwaukee, WI, Midland, TX, Fresno, CA and more. Pre-sale will begin Wednesday, May 22nd at 10am local time and the on-sale will begin Thursday, May 23rd. Tickets will be available to purchase at: Jokoy.com.

TruTV has renewed several veteran series and picked up a pair of new shows as it set its roster for 2019-20.

The WarnerMedia-owned cable network has renewed At Home With Amy Sedaris for a third season, The Carbonaro Effect for a fifth, Laff Mobb’s Laff Tracks for a second and has also extended the current season of Adam Ruins Everything.

The new shows are This Functional Family, TruTV’s first animated series from comedian Jo Koy, and Game Changers, a sketch show from comedians Clayton English and Noah Gardenswartz.

TruTV is continuing to add to its development roster with unscripted projects from comedians.

The Turner-owned cable channel has greenlit projects from Fortune Feimster (The Mindy Project), James Davis (Hood Adjacent), stand-up Yamaneika Saunders and Maz Jobrani (Superior Donuts). Saunders has also signed a development deal with TruTV.

Additionally, TruTV’s animated pilot (This Functional Family) from comedian Jo Koy, has added Tia Carrere, Gillian Jacobs, Phil LaMarr, Josh Luis Keaton and Omid Abtahi to its voice cast.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Remember that hilarious viral video comedian Jo Koy made about Maui being the “world’s largest Toyota Tacoma dealership”?

“We got small ones! We got street customs! We got ugly ones!” Koy jokes.

Well, it turns out he was onto something.

A new analysis from EducatedDriver.org shows that Toyota is by far the most popular car brand in Hawaii.

Comedian Jo Koy has been a name in the industry since the early 1990s, but says that his career didn’t truly ‘pop’ until Netflix bought his self-produced special, ‘Jo Koy: Live from Seattle.’ He takes a break from his highly-successful ‘Break The Mold’ world tour to talk about the comedy business with Cheddar.

Talking about his phenomenal success — the on-going world tour, the recent Just for Laughs’ “Stand-Up Comedian of the Year” honor, his upcoming animated series — Jo Koy keeps saying “I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it.”

But he does believe. He believes in himself and his comedy, which is why he decided to take his destiny into his own hands and produce his own one-hour comedy special.

Comedian Jo Koy continues to charm and entertain his ever-growing fan base with constant touring, a weekly podcast and new comedy specials. And he may be the nicest person CULTURE has ever met! The veteran comic greets everyone with an enormous hug, a smile and infectious positivity.
