Not that he didn’t have enough time on stage that week. He had another show scheduled in Cebu in two days.ġ5, 2020, and just four days before, he did two back-to-back shows at Solaire-the live taping of “Jo Koy: In His Elements,” his third Netflix special.

I spotted the Philippine flag sewn onto his jacket. You guys are looking at me like, ‘What flavor is that?’” Jo Koy laughed and clapped and kicked off his set by telling the studio audience, “OK, I am Asian so stop looking at me like a Math problem. Then he launched into his orange chicken joke, which had them hollering in laughter. He was killing it.Īt the end of his quick set, as the applause went on and on, Leno invited Jo Koy to the couch.
