A regular guest on E!’s late-night hit “Chelsea Lately,” Jo Koy has come a long way from performing at a Las Vegas coffee house and he was recently named one of the “10 Comics to Watch” by Daily Variety. After encouragement from his mother, Jo Koy moved to Los Angeles to pursue a comedy career. In 2005, he performed on “The Tonight Show,” and became one of a select few to ever receive a standing ovation on the show. Since then, Koy has appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Last Call with Carson Daly,” BET’s “Comic View,” “Jamie Foxx Presents: Laffapalooza,” and in various VH1 I Love the 70's, 80's and 90's episodes. His infectiously explosive energy on stage landed him a coveted spot as one of the featured comedians at the Improv in Hollywood, and he also spends time performing in comedy clubs both in the US and internationally. Koy’s 2009 Comedy Central special, “Don’t Make Him Angry,” is now available on DVD.
