Jo Koy, whose real name is Joseph Glenn Herbert, is known for speaking highly of his Filipino heritage in his acts and even on social media.

The last time he was in the Philippines was just before the coronavirus pandemic hit the world back in 2020. He performed both in Manila and Cebu in January of that year.

Currently, Jo Koy is set to star in the upcoming Steven Spielberg-produced movie "Easter Sunday" about a Filipino-American family.
