Did Jo Koy Bomb Because He's Asian?!

did Joe Koy just bomb at the Golden Globes because he was Asian or because of other reasons anyways the internet is in a debate make me laugh ambiguous Asian comedian that I'm unaware of oh you've lost my attention now the internet's going to talk about it Andrew this is going viral perhaps more viral than I ever would have anticipated because who cares but apparently the internet cares so we are going to talk about Joe Koy quote unquote bombing hosting at the Golden Globes so make sure you like subscribe and turn on your notifications but you know what has some flavor bombs smalla sauce this is not bombing because it's actually a big hit check it out at smalla sauce.com I'm not going to lie I thought that this Andrew might even be a sop how many people are talking about this is it because it's just so relatable to bom for David it is the Golden Globes this is a Hollywood night you know it was a big year for Hollywood the theaters kind of G back with Opie and Bob and you you are more tapped into this world than me so you got to tell me because I couldn't be I was shocked that there was this many like I was like is this just the news of the day this talking about you know there was some big movies this year and then also Joe Koy who Asian ended up hosting the Golden Glove so I think he's was it is he the first Asian host you know what I mean he's the Asian comedian a lot of his fan base is Asian so anyways we got to talk about it David so I guess from your performance and we might run a some we run the video down here but we can't run the clip or else we can't monetize this video but I guess David it didn't go well how do you think he went actually what grade would you give it David fun what would you give it David okay I think in terms of verality the news is giving it a d to a f if you actually W watch the clips the monologue the monolog you actually watch the monologues and some of the in between hosting I give it a c plus okay a C+ but I think that Ricky Jus set the bar so high and the fact is Joe Koy is not really in his element the Golden Globes is a lot people that are from high society probably white old money used to ruling the world socially and Joe Koy is more of a blue collar comedian so there's already a fundamental mismatch I'm not saying Ricky Jes is not from a bluecollar background but he presents as almost like the roster of the Royals whereas this I I think Joe KY it's almost like his fan base and his Eminence is so far away from these Hollywood Royals they couldn't even respect the jokes that hit M so me I think there's a lot of people to blame Andrew do you blame the writers cuz anytime there's something like this that goes down there's a ton of other writers he did have writers on the sh he he did kind of say that in the middle of his set which kind of signified that it wasn't going that well there's a lot of Industry talk about how he was somewhere around the 15th host that they asked like sof asked that least right that's why he only had 10 days to perform to prepare which is not a long time I'll be honest joeoy himself this is the self-blame part Andrew was very nervous and almost felt like he was kind of being insecure possibly that the audience didn't know who he was right right and I think that he could have done something about that I do agree that a lot of the audience was not very familiar with his work because he also didn't introduce himself I thought even a joke about that would have been funny like hey and even calling himself Asian I think because the teers to think Joe koi is half asian but he always says that he's full Asian but I don't think everybody can easily identify him as full Asian to be honest um do you think let's be honest there was also talk more on the Asian pages and I'm not saying I fully agree with them that people were kind of being racist because they don't want to let somebody who's not a super famous white or black guy roast them to their faces yes I do think it's not necessarily because he is Asian I think it's because he's not that well known to them partially because he's Asian like Joe Koy he does have a bunch of Netflix he has been doing standup comedy in La for decades I think he has six Netflix specials in the past four years so I think I think people in the room some people in the room knew who he was but did not actually is are not a fan of his work like when Ricky Jes goes up or Chris Rock host something everybody knows their bits everybody is a fan of theirs of some work but a lot of people did not know Joe Koy and I think that was part of the issue yeah I think ultimately one thing that people got to understand about humor is humor it is the joke but it's the delivery but also how you perceive that comedian in their own status or their own cultural positioning within that sphere or realm like if Merill Street were to go up and make the same jokes Joe Koy did it would be ridiculously funny but because Joe Koy is like to them they don't really know him and he is acting nervous I thought the jokes were actually decently written but they just weren't hitting like to be honest right right you're saying the jokes you give them a b even though the performance may have turned out a c and perceived in the media as a D yeah yeah I mean honestly I think that Joe ky's most memorable bits of his comedy are about his Filipino mother Joseph Joseph you know doing that bit and let's be honest that is what he's known for and he's gotten wildly successful off of that but he's not like a genius roster that's not what he's known as right and he and he doesn't host award shows yeah and hosting is different than just doing stand up by the way hosting you kind of have to Teeter this this this weird space in between being humble enough to be the host but also you want to roast everybody so you're kind of like on this seesaw I'm not going to lie for sure that Golden Globes crowd is super different than his typical theater stadium that he sells out in Hawaii somebody said they should have got Cat Williams they should have got Andrew Schultz um both these guys are super popping on the internet right now obviously CAD just gave the crazy interview Schultz has been popular they're not going to get either of these guys right they're not going to be asked and I think they're these both these guys are a little bit too Rogue and outside of the industry um somebody said it just ultimately wasn't as bad as everybody wanted it to be it literally is just something to go viral for the day right I think unfortunately for Joe Koy he's getting used as kind of a sacrificial lamb in this sense because you mean just for like internet fod to go viral becausee people need to talk about the Golden Globes do people even care about the Golden Globes David what is the Golden Globes what do they is it the Oscars how come it's no it's actually awards for thing that are not movies right is that what it is it's a Ser I no beef W and Ali Wong and beef is not a movie called limed Series yeah you can you give Awards to like series and TV shows at the Golden Globes I agree with you other I agree with you that people are searching for something to make it viral whether it's people bombing or people getting slapped at the Oscars nobody cares about the movies anymore like nobody's like really like they didn't win for best cinematography listen I think Oppenheimer and you know a lot of these shows and movies they deserve Awards but do I need to see the award get presented or does someone just need to tell me hey Oppenheimer won 12 Awards this year great everything every oh beef won guys I'm like oh good beef one congrats Ally I didn't watch it I don't care to see her speech um what do you think about people just saying man I was surprised that a pro comedian was that nervous I was a little shocked that he you know I guess he was backtracking the jokes that didn't hit things like that yeah that was the most nervous I've ever seen him you know I watched a lot of Joe qu Clips um somebody were just saying like man they were just offended that the Asian guy was roasting him some people were saying man you can just tell that he's only funny when he does his middle school humor roasting his mom these of course are people saying his career is over how much do you think realistically this is impacting his long-term career prospects Because by the way like respect Joe Koy shout out to him he did a lot for Filipinos I think he Reed for Asians as well pan Asians as well I actually really like his earlier material he has a joke about people saying that Asians can't drive even though all the best cars are made in Asia I love that bit that he did because I actually thought there was like shreds of truth to it I guess what I'm saying is some people are like oh man his movie didn't do as well his TV pilot got cancelled now he's bombing at the Golden Globe so in a way his public profile as big as it's ever been but I guess then there's also bigger swings and misses I think that the only thing this does not affect him going on tour I think still in a way helps him because it still got his name out there you say even bombing yeah no to his fan base I think it's cool that he hosted the Golden Gloves to people who already knew him and I think to people who didn't know them at least they know his name now um but and by the way I'm not like talking about Joe Koy like he's a nobody but he's not like a gigantic star he's not on the Chris Rock level well I consider him a little bit more like a Russell Peters or a Sebastian malisano where Russell Peters a lar of part of of his fan base is Indian and Chinese Sebastian malisano it's mostly italian-americans going to see him Joe KO Asians and mostly Filipinos yeah yeah so um but I do think it kind of I guess it it kind of lets him know like Hey Joe I don't know maybe maybe you're maybe this is the peak of your mainstream like maybe you don't appeal to as many white people or black people as you thought you did do you think this is going to be sort of like a Chris Rock moment where Chris Rock is able to sell a huge special off how he got SLA versus like Joe Koy can go back to his fan base or the Asian Community or whatever internet fan base he may have and be able to draw from this material about all the comments that have been generated about him ah I don't know I actually don't think so I actually think it's more that people needed something to write about the Golden Globes about cuz like maybe nothing really happened last question what do you think about all the comments where some of the and I'm not going to say where they are but most I'm not going to lie most of the comments were white where people were like see this is what happens when you do Dei it's Asians for the past couple years they're giving all the Asians the Oscars all the Asians the Golden Globes it started with parasite now they got Asian hosts but they're not good I'm letting you know they just check diversity boxes there was a I read like maybe 50 of those comments yeah yeah yeah I mean I again I don't think he was the first pick for the host I'm sure there were some white people that they wanted to ask before that um maybe he was the fifth pick maybe he was the 10th pick maybe he was the 15th pick I don't you know what it is regardless of how it turns out I do not think Joe Koy did as bad as what the media is saying he could have did better I'm supporting Asians getting more reps but yes you hope that the all the reps are home runs like Jeremy Lynn's first five games in the league but that's just not how how it's always going work but you know what actually you know what to round this all out my overall takeaway it's actually not bad for Joe Koy think of how many articles just got written about Joe Koy and when people go back and watch the monologue I think a lot of people are going to watch it and be like it wasn't that bad like people who missed it and read the article was like oh Joe Koy bombed what did he say and then it was like he did okay some of those jokes were kind of funny but it's just the reaction it didn't feel that way people wasn't feeling him but it doesn't mean that that Robert Deo joke about impregnating somebody that CGI joke was I think him calling Jared Leto uh hot Jesus was funny he said uh he had some jokes about uh opra versus Angela bass I mean there was some stuff that I thought was funny honestly I thought it was kind of funny but not like it wasn't home run it wasn't a home run but now because it wasn't a home run it's like he struck out but he didn't he got he got a single and a double I guess what I'm saying is I'm just surprised that everybody loves to dis discuss like a like a it wasn't even a train wreck it wasn't even that bad I think Joe Koy getting discuss is not bad for his career right now on this level you know there's so many articles that come out about it so I think it's good shout out to Joe for for hosting that's a hard gig let us know what you guys think in the comments section below I'm almost surprised that this many people are talking about it but it's 2023 maybe people need something like high school like to distract themselves from all the things and Trends happening in the world let us know what you think and com um until next time with a hop out boys we out peace
