"You gotta show them why they got to say yes" Man! That just hit me!

I started tearing up when Jo started getting emotional talking about his past rejections and finally being accepted. All the success he has today is due to his determination. God bless u, Jo! Very well deserved!👏👏👏

I’ve been extremely depressed lately & I was on You Tube and you popped up. Omg, after the first video I was laughing so hard I was crying. And as sad as my days are, you give me a few moments to laugh and forget my issues for a short time. We all need more laughter in our lives. Especially, in the hard times we are all going through these days. Thank you.

Love this interview!! Jo Koy should know how he makes people happy watching him! I am going through depression and loneliness and it's his comedy that makes my mental health and brain much better!! Thank you Jo!! May God Bless you through and through!!

WOW! Knew he is funny but didnt know how he had to beg netflix many times and gamble all he had to make his own video. Big time respect!! True American success story!

Who else are crying watching this? Comedians really are very emotional, they tend to hide their feelings in such a way you wont notice until they cry! Im very proud of you bro! Determination is the key, make them realize how much your worth!

JOKOY IS NATURALLY GIFTED AS A COMEDIAN. HE IS A GREAT STORY TELLER. REAL PERSON & SO HUMBLE. WE LOVE JOKOY LIKE CRAZY. HE HELPS IN DEPRESSION OF A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW..I CAN WATCH HIS SEGMENTS OVER & OVER AGAIN ,& STILL LAUGHING CRYING.

I’m biased by noting this because I have a journalism background, but as passive and uninvolved as Frank seems to be, he did a great interview. He’s meant to be uninvolved, unrelated even though he has an Asian heritage because he’s not the story, Jo is. And Jo cried, why are you doing this to me? Frank didn’t do anything but let Jo talk and be moved by his own words and Frank gave him that uninterrupted space. This is a perfect textbook example of how interviews should be conducted. It’s great to ask hard, difficult questions; but the ultimate goal is to get the hard, difficult answers from your guest. Well done sir! And Jo, just a normal, regular extraordinary comedian!

When your past experiences are hilarious and many can relate then you can be a genius comedian. That's what my man did and he delivered.

Tiffany Haddish being a supportive sister 😭 I love her so much. ❤️

Any stand up comedians at this level are genius

I didn’t think I could love him more and then this interview made me cry. What a brilliant, soulful, hilarious human being. Thank you for sharing yourself with us Jo Koy. What a gift you are to us all.

Your comedy makes me roar, but your soul surpasses it.

I've been watching jokoy's shows over & over again...stress reliever.

i clicked on this video expecting to laugh on his jokes but what i got was the motivation that I needed. more respect to Jo Koy

I cried when you cried, Josep. Proud kababayan💕.

Even though he has made it big he seems so humble and down to earth you can tell money has not got to his head oh when he started to cry I'm in tears this man is absolutely amazing honestly

Jo Koy deserves all the success. He made things happen.

Filipino moms are the best!

I’m a Filipino American and I can relate to JoKoy. He’s a hard worker and humble individual. Much respect to JoKoy!😎👍👏👏👏🙌🙌 Awesome interview!

I really like Jo Koy..he is HILARIOUS and he seems like a genuine dude..IMO he deserves all of the success he has and more 😁

Jokoy's comic brilliance comes from his truth. He's insanely funny because his skits are from his own reality and not something forcely made to come out funny. He is quite a story teller that's why people love him. His subjects are real life shit, so to speak. And people really dig stories they can relate to. All these becoming extra special because of his love for his ethnicity. You make us proud being Filipinos, Joe. I have watched a bunch of Jokoy interviews and this by far is my favorite. Its just so raw and sincere. Unfolding the struggles behind his success just hit me so hard. He is amazing. God bless this man. He is truly an inspiration. #PinoyPride 🇵🇭

15:14 everyone competes as if there's only one mountain to climb. When you fly over the Rockies, they are a wonder. There's not enough people in this world to stand on top of every single mountain. There's enough for everybody. - Jo Koy

Frank's calming voice and Jokoy's joyful wit this interaction make up for a good watch.

The Best Interview of the Century!!!

We have followed Jokoy since in the 90s. He deserves all the success.

I love this guy, so humble. You deserve what you’re getting Josep

I love that guy because he's genuine and he never gets political. I'm married to a Filipina so I completely understand all his jokes. If you havnt spent time in the Philippines you are missing out. That's all I got.

Jo Koy has a huge following, truly loyal fans. Most of these fans love him so much. There's always that overwhelming happy feeling that springs forth from his shows...the positive vibes are resounding in the arena or stage whenever he performs. He just makes everyone happy with his jokes and story telling...so natural. Amazing comic!

Jo Koy I’m so proud of You are one of the Best Comedian. I love you ! I love your show I laugh and you made me feel YOUNGER I’m 74 years old grandma and still working part time Registered Nurse. 👍😘❤️

Jo Koy is absolutely the BEST! What a wonderful person inside and out!!

Jokoys GRATITUDE IS THE BEST. GENUINE RESPECT FOR HIS SUCCESS!! HOLY HAPPY CHELSEA!

That means you’re connecting with your audience/ fans. Jo Koy, you are down to earth, that’s why the fans love you. God bless you! Fans know you talk about your Mom but you love her and respect her.

What a sweetheart! He deserves it all and just another amazing person bringing Filipino culture more and more into the mainstream. That's always a plus!

He is so genuine and all his stories are so relatable. Sir, you deserve all the recognition. Hard work does pay off ☺️❤️

Wow! Steven Spielberg noticed you and will make a movie based on your life. That's amazing!!. Can't wait to watch it.

Jo 😀 thank you for bringing the topics about the struggle 🇵🇭. I myself grew up in the Philippines and my mom is Filipino and my dad is African American so therefore we came from the same back round. Your mom actually and my mom is alike 😂. I really like your originality spoke the truth 👏👏👏 about Filipino moms 🤪👍 🇺🇸.

I always thought he was funny. Now I realize he's not only funny, but also human.

It’s, for the lack of a better word, refreshing, and more human, to see him not just cracking jokes, but getting emotional. This is not just a Filipino stamina that made him not want to give up, we all have that. it’s how you are being influenced and let your own thoughts and emotions let control of your emotions in certain situations to make decisions (and we have to live, adapt and move on with what happens after that, positive and negative). His experience is nonetheless very inspiring.

Aaaww Jo you made me cry 🥲 I only found out about you today 😣 you’ve earned this!! From all the videos I watched today I can tell! You definitely earned this! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Tears of joy. Jo...you're a very special person. I'm so proud of you to bring the filipino culture to life. We all can relate and I'm so proud to be a filipino.. love ya jokoy...

Such a beautiful human being in and out. Proof that hard work and dedication can pay off. Wish him and his family all the luck and success.

That purse status thing is with me too...I’m American...lol

you are the funniest dude...I always liked you even from Chelsea days...You are great Jo!!!

God bless you Jo Koy for staying true to yourself. I wish you all the best.

I first seen Jo Koy in San Jose, CA. Many years ago Opening for Carlos Mencia. When we left that show a little early due to climaxing during Jo Koy that Carlos wasn't funny to us. Jo Koy was waiting in front of the venue greeting all the guests as they were leaving. We love Jo ever since. He's gut busting funny. He speaks on real stuff

First time I heard Jo Koy was on comedy central I think and I was in Puerto Rico.....I moved to the US in 2006. I still love this guy.

It's always up to you. If someone tells you 'No', you're gonna show him 'Why'. - Jo Koy 2020

Im Mexican and I can relate to filipino mom I think its being broke that relates us!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This man has a soft soul and his story was true and honest but he has the ability to help us see the beautiful and fun side of everything!!! Things that people use to judge, to discriminate and to hate, but Jo uses to heal. I love Jo and Trevor Noah. Their jokes are so pure and so related!!!!

Joseph's Lesson to be learnt here is: Recognize and be grateful for your failures, Because without that adversity there is no true success nor the gain of wisdom that comes with it! Humility and Gratitude when added to your 110% commitment to the work are the bedfellows of a successful endeavor. So get a King Size and Enjoy the Three Way!

Jokoy is the only comedian whose videos I can watch over and over again. Some I've seen more than 30x...I love "Asian accents " ! And he is just so real a guy, you just get positive vibes all the time.

Jo Koy always kiss Frank on his head. It means respect in our Filipino culture. Either bless on the elderly or kiss them on the head.

Congratulations Kabayan for living your dreams!! Basta apak mo lang yang paa mo sa lupa. Kahanga hanga ka! Heres to you josep🤣😂🤣!!

It amazes me how you can be so spontaneous with your lines. No plan, no editing, no writers… you’re amazing brother! 🙏🏽♥️

Humility is the bedtime! This guy is so humble & just seems like a nice human being! So happy for him!

I simply love you Jo Koy! Both you & your Mom! You are my favorite comedian!👍🌎🤍❤️🤍🥰😘

Thank you for featuring Jo Koy. My very white colleagues were the one who told me to look him up be the is very hilarious. Until now I’m still thanking them.

Great interview on both sides! I love hearing people's back stories. I was an immigrant and as a child having to navigate 2 worlds was very real for me. Doesn't matter what the cultural backgrounds are these stories have parallels across the biard. That's why Jo Koy is so relatable. Finding the humor in every day life, no matter your background, is the best humor ever for me. We all need a good laugh with all the sadness in the world! "Keep laughing" is my motto! Thanks Jo Koy!

Jo Koy. Filipinos are proud of you. Keep feet on the ground. stay humble. sheer talent!

11:43 that’s a real moment of gratitude 🙏🏽 god bless you josep

I like it when Jo koy never gave up from Netflix... It's so emotional and I was carried away specially when he has teary eyes that at last he got what he deserve.. Sweet victory, it is. Proud Filipina here :)

Thank you for not quitting of your dreams ( putting your show in Netflix) . I can’t stop watching your show . You make me laugh again. I was in depression n I want to laugh again n I remember my ex bf introduced your show to me n we watched n I like your joke . I love when you talk about your mom n our culture. It’s super funny

Wow, I am so proud of you, Jo Koy, for not giving up. I am Filipino and I am proud of your tenacity.❤️❤️❤️

I got teary eyes when he began to cry. Iba talaga ang galing ng Pinoy. Love you Jo koy

Jo Koy is my fav. His genuineness about his family and his life is what makes him great. He's not afraid to be transparent and to be his real self. Mad respect, Jo.

I had a Korean mother in law who taught me the rice method years ago...still doing it! Best rice ever! It's that cal rose sticky rice too...no nasty uncle bens in my house...my kids only know the good stuff.

Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 🇵🇭 🤣🤣😍😍 I just love Jokoy !! Always made my day, all he said about Filipino mum is True !! My daughter, is a Mix race, she can’t speak and understand Filipino language, but she loves 💓 Jokoy!! She’s would ask me to watch together and we Laugh together 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Jo, for making us Laugh all the time, you are just Amazing guy.. 😊😊👏👏👏👍

Man, everytime there's a comedian talking about his personal life and starts bawling, it's always gonna be so emotional, man i can't stop crying, it's my first time seeing jokoy cry :(

Super talented comedian and very real. He is a born entertainer and his routine never gets old because it's from actual life!

Love this interview, Frank did a good job! U get to see how genuine Jo is and how he cherish things happening to him, with his hard work and didn't give up! Great interview! Very inspiring 😉

Just love Jo Koy...the more I see the more I love him!

Family is so happy to see Jo Koy on netflix...He is so funny and enjoy his every show. But, i did not hear yet about the joke of the "chocolate meat" hahaha. My son hate me and never ate it after knowing what chocolate meat really is....

Jo koy!!!!🙌🏻 first time listening behind stories. So inspiring thank you!!

I love that his stories are relatable to multiple cultures. I’m of Sicilian decent and the Tupperware story I can totally relate.

This is my first time to watch you, I just hear you saying my mom and vicks vaporub then I stopped to listen. Am happy your feets still in the ground standing tall. Why until now you are emotional because you are half Filipino and you got the genes of your mom. Jo koy Am an old Filipina and am so proud of you. GOD BLESS long live to you and family.

I love watching him I saw him in Vegas and I laughed so hard in 2017. Afterwards, I searched for him and tried to tell people to just listen to him he is so funny! I love the relationship he has with his son and mom. It's wonderful!! 😁 Great Job Jo I wish you nothing but great things. From Jabbawockeez to on your own and you made it!!! Good for you.

Jo is one of my favorites and I think out of all the comedians he will be the one that is going to reach all his goals because I will put all my energy to help him. Keep going Jo it will only get better for you. ❤

I love Jokoy and his successful career inspired me to never give up. So happy for him 💯💕😍

Hey! Frank, we went to high school together in 29. You haven't changed a bit. I KNEW you'd be a big success! Congratulations. Proud of you.

As a fan of him when his first Netflix Special came out, his fellow filipino bashers will never appreciate this YT interview of him. Will always be a fan of Jo Koy as a comic! Well deserve on the spotlight!

I love Jo Koy, he seems like a really nice guy, very determined, well-grounded and hella funny!

Jokoy fighting spirit comes from his mom. It's good Jokoy did not quit netflix. Love watching again and again his shows online during this lockdown era.
