Hey Joe! BYU students' secret life as Filipino video stars

When they returned home from LDS missions in the Philippines, five #BYU students began making humorous videos in the Cebuano language to celebrate Filipino culture. The family-friendly "Hey Joe Show" quickly became a viral video sensation and turned five "average Joes" into celebrities in Cebu.
The Hey Joe Show members Connor Peck, Sumner Mahaffey, Tylan Glines, Jacob Mingus, and Davis Blount, are instantly recognized in the Philippines where they routinely pose for selfies and draw crowds. Hey Joe Show has more than 800,000 Facebook followers and more than 50 million video views. Thousands of smiling (and screaming) fans showed up for their 2015 and 2016 Filipino tours. Mingus says they have been thrilled by the reaction. “We have been able to bring joy and happiness to the people that we love so much.”
Making fun videos and music in Cebuano has been a part of a "secret life" for these BYU students, who are not recognized as famous in the U.S. As three group members have now graduated from BYU and are moving to different cities, the Hey Joe Show may not produce many videos in the future but the connection to the Philippines is a permanent part of their lives.
Video produced by BYU University Communications
Additional footage by the Hey Joe Show and Fat Boy Productions
"My Morena Girl" (written by Jude Gitamondoc and Therese Villarante and performed by the Hey Joe Show) is available on iTunes (itunes.apple.com/us/artist/hey-joe-show/id1199655896) and Spotify (open.spotify.com/track/1ZVtBC...)

This reminds me of when I came back from the Philippines. I felt like a star there, but felt like a nobody in the US.

You have really touch the heart of Filipinos for your being humble and being closed to our culture especially your fluency in Visayan language..

The best way for a foreigner to be accepted by any culture is to become one with them, learning their language is the first step. Accepting and celebrating the differences while not judging also goes a long ways. This is universal, not indicative of just Filipino culture but all cultures. Absolutely easier said than done. That being said, these five member of Hey Joe Show, are pretty impressive, and that fact can be quantified with their celebrity/social media status in Cebu. Pinoys really admire outsiders that learn their language, it looks like they are rewarding that effort.

I can't believe it has been almost 4 years since then. wow time really flies so fast. I hope you guys are doing great, you will always be a part of Philippines, you had our love always, and imagine you guys could speak Cebuano! omg, that is such a feat. I hope you guys could still practice using that language even though you are no longer here in PH. we miss you

we are so proud that in very short period of time there were 5 american teenagers who once loved and showcased our country and my city to the world .. we will truly treasure those memories that HJS left us .. until now its been years since they left my country and my city ( cebu ) but their impact in cebuano culture remains strong and meaningful.. we loved them because not all foreigners especially europeans and americans respect my city when they visit here.. they are all criticising the environment like filipino being undisciplined and many insulting words .. when stray kids or homeless kids will ask for money they pushing them away.. thats why cebuanos loved hey joe show because they showed opposite way.. they loved our culture.. our people .. our nature .. they respected my fellow cebuanos.. they adapted the culture .. thats why filipinos are giving back the love and respect they gave us .. so the result, they were instant celerbrities in my country.. everybody knows them.. until now

I am a member of the Church from Taiwan. Thank you for being good examples and radiate that gospel light even after your mission. That's so important to yourselves, to the people you served, and thus have positive influences at a greater scale. No matter where we are, strive to be a life-long disciple of Jesus Christ.

They became famous in a foreign land. And being back in US, it was like facing reality. Waking up from this insanely beautiful dream. It's sad thatwe won't be seeing any Hey Joe Show for a very long time. God Bless you and the future ahead of you. Kami nga mga Bisaya mu ingun, HJS will always have a place in a Bisaya's hearts.
