Jo Koy Speaks On Filipino Representation In Comedy, 'Easter Sunday', Chelsea Handler + More 

As much as CTG loves to go the mental health route with any conversation, he had a prime opportunity to express support of Jo’s pain and missed it completely.

That was a moment of vulnerability where Jo Koy was expressing wanting to secure an opportunity with one of the biggest platforms in the world and CTG laughed and dismissed him. I am convinced that his support and empathy is selective.

I’m so disappointed with Charlemagne. He just ruined a interview an interview that could’ve been so good. I really think Jo was getting super offended. But was doing his best to maintain his composure. Jo needs a do over!

CTG should give himself Donkey of The Day for dropping the ball on this one.

Can see why Angela wants her own show.

CTG was SO rude and dismissive during this interview of a "guest!" I'm glad Jo Koy put him in his place several times! Love you Jo Koy!!♥️

I am so glad that Jo Koy keeps putting Charlemagne in his place. I was very sad when Jo and Chelsea broke up too. I love her

Angela Yee you made this interview on the right path......with CTG being so dismissive

"I'm going to do 53 years of jokes about my mom" 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I freaking love it

I love Jo Koy. He's hilarious!! But I'm disappointed charla dismissed him like that about Netflix. They were being racist and thought he couldn't cross over because "ppl can't relate because of his voice". Also, there are many Asians and Hispanics who do feel unseen in the U.S. because it's like if it's not white or black there's no in-between. So I get it. It's okay for us as black ppl to know racism exists for p.o.c. too and acknowledge it.

I really enjoy Jo Koy's interviews on the Breakfast Club! He said "I am doing 52 years of mom jokes."

Why does Charlemagne occur to me as incredibly insensitive and silly during this interview???? Jo Koy is rooting for his people the same way African Americans root for theirs. We know what it's like to be made fun of and judged.

CTG can be quite dismissive of others issues. It's really insensitive of him.

Love how Charlemagne doesn’t take jo koy racisms story serious but when It involves someone in his race it’s a whole different story Jo is right filipinos and Mexicans been the same for years🇲🇽🇵🇭

I am confused. Why are these Black men acting as if they don't understand Jo Koy's point about racial mistreatment from American society?

Ctg Missed it on this one. He shouldn’t have to over-explain his worth.

Thank God you're so successful now Jo Koy, keep representing Pinoys all over the world and kudos for maintaining your composure all throughout the interview. As a Filipino mother with a biracial child racism is still alive and kicking in 2022, CTG laughing and being dismissive to Jo was downright disrespectful IMHO.

Charlemagne is in therapy but he can be a hatter sometimes. He didn't want to acknowledge the asian racism that exists in Hollywood. Charlemagne should ask his therapist why does he make everything about himself like no one else is on the show? He takes over the show like he's the only one interviewing guest. Joe said it correctly 👏 Charlemagne & The Breakfast Club.

Charlemagne had this same dialogue with Monique! Seriously, he needs to really be more empathetic and not so self absorbent! I COMPLETELY understand what Jo Koy was saying. As a black woman I can see that there seems to be black male comedians and white comedians (of all genders) that can reach black and white people audiences that get the Netflix meal ticket! Asian comedians, black female comedians, and Latino comedians RARELY get the recognition they DESERVE!

I love that Joe Koy keeps calling out CTG on his bullshit. I love to see it.

I’m sorry I couldn’t finish this interview it hurts my heart that charla kept using the “he’s a comedian” line when he talked about his mom being racially made fun of back in the 80’d by that kid. Charla is def projecting and has a lot of healing to do cause it takes a lot especially for a grown man to talk about their feelings.

Not only is CTG is laughing during the wrong moments in this interview he’s also cutting off and being rude to his co-host.

I’m a Blasian (Black & Filipino) love to see this!👏🏽🥳🔥

He isn’t asking for Charla to fix his problem or critique his process. Literally just listen. That’s his experience.

That's what makes Jo Koy the best - he's not just funny, he's inclusive! He makes all people from all race, creed, religion, sex laugh and not leave even 1 person in the room crying or hurting inside. He laughs WITH u, not At u.

I have a love hate relationship with The breakfast club because of things like what just happened when Jo was trying to express something that every black person in that room understood firsthand. We know what it is to try to be in the industry or be in the industry and people won't say why they won't really work with you. For Charlemagne to keep joking and acting like he didn't know what it was when Joe was talking about his mother's accent and why Netflix would not pick his special and you can hear the emotion in that man's voice over something that we know is very real it was absolutely insulting. Charlemagne is too old to be that emotionally immature. And for that to be the conversation it's been for years it shouldn't have been it's jokey especially when the comedian wasn't joking.

When I see Jo Koy I need no explanation I just click because I know it's going to be hilarious 😂😂

I love Jo calling Charla out for not watching and for being a dummy 😂 Also he shouldn't have been so dismissive to Jo when talking about race. Yeah dudes don't be saying anything about eating 😸 "Is that 2 ply" 🤣🤣

I LOVE Jo Koy! He is hilarious, humble and just seems to be such a good person. I was so excited when I saw this interview pop-up on my RU-vid feed. Unfortunately, Charlamagne's unprofessional, insensitive and just plain BAD jokes almost overshadowed the beautiful and difficult life story that Jo Koy tried to share about his journey. I'm a Black woman, but I have full awareness and understanding that Black people aren't the only group that experiences systemic racism and prejudice. Charlamagne should be ashamed of himself for being completely and ignorantly dismissive of the blatant continual racism that Asians and many other races are subjected too. You take away from the validity of Black people's experiences with racism, when you dismiss and laugh at the painful racist experiences of other races. Racism is racism. Charlamagne does NOT represent us. Jo Koy, I hope you are able to be treated with RESPECT, EMPATHY AND KINDESS in future interviews because you DESERVE it. The way Charlamage treated you during this interview is NOT OKAY and you don't have to accept it. Sending you LOVE, HUGS and APPRECIATION for all the laughter you have brought to this world Jo Koy!! 🙏🏾❤😊

Love love LOVE Jo Koy. He said "I'm done"... "we are gonna go to a break"

Charlemagne really disappointed me in this interview. For someone who’s adamant about mental health, he was super insensitive to Jo’s experiences of trauma with racism.. smh

All I want to say is, what is wrong with Charlemagne? He is so embarrassing. At one point, Jo Koy should've just walked out of the interview. This was incredibly disrespectful.

It was very disappointing how Charlemange was being hella insensitive throughout this interview. But glad to see Jo Koy is receiving his flowers & recognition

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I love Jo Koy. I was really moved by his challenges with racism. I could feel his pain.

I’ll admit I wasn’t up on Jo until very recently. But I enjoyed his new Netflix special so much that I had to catch up on all of his past work. Phenomenal!

CTG just wasn't getting how serious this is for Jo. Jo has been on other platform saying the same story of his mom and he is very hurt about the treatment the Asian community has been receiving like the black community. I know its two totally different histories but there are similarities on the treatment of "Hollywood" making jokes on the expense of a curtain culture or group. I think Jo wanted more empathy from CTG.

Charlemagne is treating Jo the way he treated Amara La Negra the first time she was on the show.

I learned of Jo Koy amongst others from watching Chelsea Lately. & I haven’t turned back since. So hilarious every time! Does not disappoint. 👍🏽

So…I had to pause at 1:38 to watch JO KOY on Netflix…I AM SOOOOO GLAD I DID!!! I know I disturbed the peace with my laughter!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO SO WELL!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾

There actually are a lot of Filipinos in Hollywood but they play other ethnic groups so people don't know they are Filipino (i.e. Lou Diamond Phillips who has played Native American and Mexican, Vanessa Hudgens, etc.).

Charlamagne is not listening to his voice and disappointment. I really like him due to his growth but it is disheartening to see him laughing while he is expressing his hurt

Africans and Filipinos have a history of slavery that connects the two on a REAL level. Soul food and Respect were taught and learned and appreciated as a common constant between the 2 cultures. I am Half FIlipino and white like Joseph Mckoy....born in New Jersey and 47 yrs old. I find his accomplishments and this podcast American Historical events in the making. I am inspired to say the least. We are family

Totally agree with Alyssa D. Charlemagne's rude dismissive attitude towards Joe was very aggravating. I have followed that comedian from day one. The stories about his mom and his son with his ting ting🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Charlamagne was foul this interview. Jo was being vulnerable and Char was just being dismissive and cracking jokes. Read the room bruh.

2 interviews of the year Back, to Back Jo Koy and Ari Lennox, great Job Y'all.

Love it Jo. Don't let anyone make you feel as you need to push your roots to the side, stay true to yourself. Respect

This guy is hilarious 🤣 His voice alone I start to snicker 🤭

This special had me off my ass hands down one of the best stand up I have seen in a minute 😊

CTG never fails to show that he’s not a journalist and can’t read the room

CTG always tells black men he loves them or he says I love you back. I agree with others , CTG was off on this interview.

I LOVE when Jo Koy is on. He's the best.

His Netflix special is funny as hell.

All the maturity left Charlemagne’s body for this interview smh

The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love your decisions. ♡

CTG really need to give himself DOTD for that major lack of empathy

I love when comedians go on the breakfast club. The interviews with wannabe rappers and intellectuals can get so fucking boring. Like this put me in a good mood! Happy Tuesday! God bless you all

Very disappointed in Charlamagne dismissing Jo Koy's vulnerability regarding the blatant racism of Netflix. He totally missed the mark!!! Continued BLESSINGS Mr. Koy.

Love Jo Koy, he's hilarious 😂 Also love my Filipinos 🇵🇭 ❤️

I absolutely love Jo Koy…so funny

Joe’s special is HILARIOUS! It’s one of the best standup specials I’ve seen in a while.

Joe koy is such a joy. This was an awesome interview.

Why was ctg showing him lack of empathy for what joy went through??

Jo koy is hilarious 😂

Oh man Joe was spot on man I don’t have words to express what he says about hospitals but he is so right my best friend is a nurse she’s a black nurse and she will tell you that hospitals have great Filipino nurses working there and her number one complaint was on some of these hospital shows she doesn’t see any of these people. I mean never mind the fact that most of these hospital shelves don’t look like actual emergency rooms that’s a whole different story.

I LOVE CHITTERLINGS!! YEAH I SAID IT!!! GREAT INTERVIEW! Love the fact that Jo is being real af!

Jo Koy UNAPOLOGETICALLY and I’m here for it. 🔥🔥🔥

Yes !! Same with Cambodians ! We gravitated towards black people because we have a lot of similarities like the foods, music like JOI said!

I love Jo koy. He deserves his flowers. Charla get you some essential water beczue that new water is fogging you bruh. 😆

Love Jo Koy wish him love and success 💚 will be waiting for the sitcom ✌️

Never seen this side of Jo. I really like him now as a person. Now I think I’ll watch his specials. I also love the way he talks to Charlemagne. “I don’t like how the words come out of your mouth sometimes” hahah

I’m so proud of you Jo Koy! You are a good person. Pinoy power ❤️👏👏👏👏👏

Some people are just great story tellers. I can listen to his interviews all day. Great human being..

Love you Joy Koy💓🔥🎉👏 Congratulations on all of your Netflix Specials!! I've watched all of them!! You are hilarious!!! Legend!!! 🤗💕🥳

CTG is totally off this whole interview. Joe was expressing his hurt and CTG was laughing the whole interview.. Hopefully he saw his error after this..

I died when he called CTG dumb! The way he sd it! 😆

The wayJo said “But now it’s not the same” ☠️☠️☠️ dying laughing!

I hate when comedians come on here and Charlamagne tries so hard to prove he’s funny too. Damn, Bro let the comedians do their thing.

Just watched the special it's really funny and also insightful. Surprisingly the first Jo Koy special I've ever seen, gonna look for more.

Charlemagne really think it's funny to minimize Jo Koy in this moment. Like just because he is a comedian doesn't mean laugh at everything he freaking says...

Why did CharlaMouth laugh when he told the STORY about the kid making Hurtful Asian noises hurting Joe’s Mama’s feelings!?? Would they find it funny if it were his Mama and they made Monkey sounds and scratched under his arms!? HE WAS A CHILD, AND CHARLA IS COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE FOR LAUGHING AT THIS, NOT EFFECTIVELY LISTENING AND DISMISSING HIM!!! I see Angela being 1/2 Asian isn’t laughing at all but they need to check Charla when he dismisses racial hate towards Asians. ThiS Man is an accomplished Comedian/Entertainer and a damn GUEST on your damn show, show some damn respect!!!

I love Jo, he's so funny. What I dont like is him having to explain to African Americans how it feels to be marginalized. Like WTF, and Charlemagne is a fucking joke. Like be foreal! And why are yall giving him a hard time, yall weird!!

Easter Sunday movie was hilarious kept me laughing from beginning to end

Whyyyy I'm literally CTG in this interview🤣 - like every time he chuckled I did too and I definitely thought 'must've been a helluva blurb'

When he said he is Black Black. I diiiieeedddd😂

I love when Jo Koy visits the breakfast club.....big fan of both

👑Jo Koy! A Legend!🤣

Hell yeah Netflix is wild! Jo Koy is hilarious!!!!!

I love their dynamic so freaking much

I love every response he said. Jo is humble, honest, and funny. Love this interview 🎉

I am here for a Jo Koy sitcom!!!

Love this interview and it doesn’t seem like Jo is as mad as everyone else lol

Loveeeee Jo KOY!!!!! I’m definitely going to his shows in Seattle😆😆😆😆🙌🏽

Jo koys new stand up is hilarious 😂

Good for Jo Koy.. putting in the work. Representation matters.

Jo koy is a great dude

Jo Koy ❤ I wish him all the blessing i will forever be a fan

JoKoy has been a Delano favorite. Come back and visit anytime. You know our community loves you!! I love what he is doing for Filipino representation. We were all programmed and the only way to change that is to show our true authentic selves.

Jo Koy needs to come to London…watched ALL the specials and the movie! 😊 Jo is 100% correct, my mum and aunts are from St Lucia but are very much like Philippine women, features, attitudes everything…my favourite colleague was a woman from the Philippines and she was head nurse, and so cool…like family! 😊

The contrast between this interview and flagrant is so interesting

Yee…I see u w/“The Joy Luck Club”. Still one of my favs. ❤
