He continued, "This idea of having a daily conversation about the things that have happened in this country and are happening and holding people in power accountable, that avenue still is viable. I hate to talk like that, but I'm a realist, bro." There's going to be a lot of cuts, in my opinion, fiscally. "I think late night needs innovation," Wood told me on "Salon Talks." "I don't think that the way we've constructed late night will continue to be the way we see it post-strike.

With Trevor Noah's departure from "The Daily Show," the ending of "Desus and Mero," and the cancellation of HBO's "Pause with Sam Jay" and Showtime's "Ziwe," comedian Roy Wood Jr.-who himself is in the running to be the next "Daily Show" host - is questioning how the remaining late shows will survive the current Writers Guild of America strike. But has the rise of streaming lessened their relevance? How many people are tuning in at 11 p.m. It was a significant accomplishment for an entertainer or athlete to be invited to appear on a late-night show and be interviewed by greats like David Letterman, Arsenio Hall or today's Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.
Jo koy lights out full video tv#
Like I said, I enjoyed the special which is why I am going to give it an A for a final grade.Late-night TV shows used to be at the top of the food chain. To enjoy the special, you can see clips of it on Comedy Central’s website or you can watch it on Amazon Prime, but you have to rent it at the moment.

This was definitely a really funny special from Jo Koy and I really couldn’t stop laughing and it’s been a while since I laughed like this. There are tons of great bits like this one on the special which focuses heavily on his kid and his mother. Then he found out that his son was touching his ass and then rubbing his eyes. One of the other jokes that I thought was funny was when he as talking about his son contracting pinkeye three weeks in a row and he couldn’t understand why. He talks about how his mother never helped him with anything like if he was looking for his keys, his mother busted his balls about it. One of my favorite segments is when he is talking about his mother because he does such a funny impression of her. I love Jo Koy’s style of comedy because he gets very involved in his jokes with the facial expressions and the impressions of his family which is just hilarious and fun to watch. In the special, he tackles everything from bad advice from mom, roofies vs the roofie voice, being in the middle of a tornado in Louisville vs a earthquake in Los Angeles, Pulling out, pinkeye and ting ting (various other issues with kids), not messing with a Filipino mom (other issues with mom), his grandmother, and his battle with sleep apnea in this special that is non stop laughs. Jo Koy released a comedy special through Comedy Central (the home of great stand up comedy) called Jo Koy: Lights Out which was recorded at The Alex Theater in Glendale, California which was also his second stand up special ever.
