Filipino-American comedian Jo Koy was ecstatic after he received a nomination at the People’s Choice Awards for his show “Live from the Los Angeles Forum.”
Jo Koy announced this as he greeted fans “Mahal kita!” (I love you) through his Instagram page on Thursday, Oct. 27. “Live from the Los Angeles Forum” is a stand-up set where Jo Koy spoke about “public sneezing, perseverance, the indignities of sleep apnea, and getting lost in the Philippines.”
In a separate post, he expressed his gratitude and asked fans for support by voting for him at the American award show’s website.
The comedian will be vying for the Comedy Act of 2022 award against Amy Schumer, Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin Hart, Steve Martin and Martin Short, Wanda Sykes, and Whitney Cummings.
Last August, Jo Koy’s Hollywood comedy film “Easter Sunday” premiered in Los Angeles. The movie, which was produced by American film producer-director Steven Spielberg, tells the story of a struggling comedian who came together with his family on Easter Sunday. EDV
