2023 was a historic year for Filipinos in pop culture and 2024 started off with the same energy with Jo Koy making history as the first ever Filipino-American to host the prestigious Golden Globe Awards last Jan 7. Jo Koy’s monologue featured the comedian poking fun at the biggest names in Hollywood, most notably: Meryl Streep and Taylor Swift.
He also poked digs at the two biggest movies of the year: Barbie and Oppenheimer. The latter dominated the annual spectacle by taking home five awards including Best Drama. In additional Jo Koy news, the comedian will be going on tour this month and we’re sure he’ll be addressing his Golden Globe Awards hosting experience there!
