We are big fans of Jo Koy, so he is not unheralded in our house. Have seen him live a few times, seen his act either on cable or streaming. A lot of his humor has to do with growing up with a Filipina mother; my wife was note in Manila and grew up in Hawaii, so she is dead center demo. I laugh even when he’s not funny because it makes me smile to see my wife so happy.
Point holds, while Moy is a successful, professional stand up comic, as little as three years age it would be unthinkable that a comic of his lid, niche level would get the GG hosting gig. Today, well, if he checked with me I would tell him he was slumming and damaging his brand. Still, I guess if he kills he will jump the line.
