Fresh off his Netflix special, Jo Koy: In His Elements, the comic appears on Ozy’s The Carlos Watson Show on YouTube Thursday.
Koy reveals how his immigrant Filipino American mother inspired him with her own brand of humor and provided him with a generation worth of material.
He also shares some tender memories about his own racial identity and how others like Tiger Woods gave him the courage to pursue comedy.
New episodes of the Carlos Watson Show debut weekly.
