Jo Koy, a celebrated comedian, began his journey in 1994 at a Las Vegas comedy club, later securing a spot at Catch a Rising Star in MGM Grand.

Known for his stand-up specials and TV gigs like Chelsea Lately and The Tonight Show, Koy’s career soared with Netflix specials like Jo Koy: In His Elements and Jo Koy: Comin’ in Hot.

However, hosting the 81st Golden Globe Awards in 2024 drew criticism for his dated jokes. Despite the backlash, fellow comedians like Steve Martin and Kevin Hart expressed solidarity, recognizing the challenges of hosting.
