The first half was great with lots of what I would expect from Jo Koy. Then he went into preaching mode talking about systemic racism and how hard it was for him. I wish I had it as hard as Jo Koy. Sorry maybe make that a fifth as hard as Jo then I would still be a millionaire. Very sad to see him implode his career this way. Do comedy. That's what people want to see. If they wanted preaching they would attend a rally somewhere. Sad to say this will be the last time I watch anything from Jo Koy. Hopefully his loyal fans will keep him afloat but it won't be me anymore. If you do watch this you can skip the second half.

Wow the reviews here from spam accounts and haters, they must be extremely lonely not to appreciate this show. Jokoy's the best when making people laugh and engaging with them. New stories, same funny voice and great personality! I still love the way he impersonates his mom, and connecting with different cultures/races. He can make you laugh so hard but then appreciate his talent. Might not be the best stand up comedian, but he's top tier right now. I already watched this 3 times now and I'm still laughing so hard! Makes you really feel great after all the stresful news being blurted out recently.

This is one of the best stand up by Jo Koy! It's a roller coaster of emotion, will make you laugh, will make you inspired, will make you cry, some real talk and all that. It's very entertaining compare to previous jo koy shows. You will feel that he put a lot of effort to make this show as entertaining as possible. If you like Russel Peters shows in Netflix, you will enjoy Jokoy shows. I don't understand the low rating here. The show deserved a rating more than 8-10. I really enjoyed the show and it's been awhile I laugh this hard. I recommend to watch it at night, get a popcorn and enjoy the show.

I have followed and loved Jo Koy for a long time. This special was only comedy for about half the show then a full tantrum about not being picked up by Netflix for what seemed like an hour. Jo, what do you say to comedians like Jorge Lopez, Carlos Mencia, Russel Peters, the Kings of Comedy and a slew of other comedians who aren't white and have had specials on Netflix and network TV shows. Someone saying no to you isn't systemic racism its just life. Honestly the special who asked you not to have the accent was probably worried about getting fined or canceled because of your joke. You have lived in LA to long. Please you fans are begging you to do comedy, we love comedy to laugh and get away from reality not to hear a Joe Biden 60 minutes interview.

I thought this show was funny until he brought up systemic racism. It occurs about an hour into the special. Jo Koy is just another celebrity claiming that white people have it easier in this country when his net worth is more than 98% of white people in America. And the sad part is, the majority of Americans will sympathize and agree with him because this country is filled with mindless minions who idolize Hollywood and its "elites." Boy do I wish I have Jo Koy's problems, let me tell you. So if you're white, especially if you're male, and you want to feel guilty, please by all means watch this.

I never heard of Jo Koy before watching this Netflix special, I just randomly picked it out of the stand-up offerings on Netflix. He started our reasonably well enough with his tirade against being cooped up during the two years of Covid and wearing masks. But as the show progressed, the language became more and more littered with the 'f' word until it hit its lowest point discussing a topic most folks would never have heard about unless you frequent * on the internet. Worse still, he used the 'joke' on a member of the audience, harmlessly at first, but tying in the subject following his statements about sleep apnea and wearing one of those CPAP machines. Apparently, the audience wasn't put off by his routine as much as I was, but then again, the camera never panned to anyone with an uncomfortable look on their face and squirming in their seat, which I'm sure there must have been at least a handful. You'd think I was a prude judging by this review, but I don't think a comic has to sink so low in order to be funny. Having seen Jo Koy once I think I've had my fill, he won't get my attention again.

With all the negative happening in the world im glad he used his platform to tackle on some of the issues he feels passionate about, of course this might not be for everyone but for people going through it, the message he left about sacrifice and success was comforting, and as a fan. Im glad I got to hear it. Talking about the Filipino culture was also great, it puts a perspective of his culture for the viewers and even if youre not Filipino you would find similarities, I think its the beauty of immigrants, they share a common ground where the tools mentioned might be different but there is some part of the context that you've experienced. Nonetheless, it shows Jokoy as a comedian in a different light and he even talks about his struggle with his first Netflix Special. I dont think it was too dragging, I think it was something he feels like it had to be said. He is also a father so in retrospect he mightve also wanted to do it as a message for his son and the young people. Loved it!

Funniest special so far!!! Could not stop laughing. Highly recommend! He really has a gift, I have not found a funnier comedian out there hands down. I love how he brings stage presence with audience interaction and impeccable timing. I was scared to have a stroke from laughing so hard in this one. Love everything about JoKoy! I don't know how anyone can not laugh at his performance to be honest. Every joke right from the start was remarkable. Pandemic to 80's- 90's growing up to health conditions. He is a legend and will go down as such! Stand up comedy at its best. Keep doing what you do Jo! We love you!!!

Jo Koy is a very funny and endearing comic. His stand up stories about his life and family are self-effacing and funny. His jokes about Filipino family life and Asian culture are revealing and funny. Koy has had several specials of different natures since his first big one on Netflix in Seattle. This one is is his second best. He plays very well with the audience, and he manages to engage them in a personal way, even in a forum as big as the one in Los Angeles where this one was filmed. Boy takes some time ion this one to handle post-COVID life, his son-a usual target- and his relationship with Netflix over the years. Koy is a great comedian and this special is worth seeing.
