Your dad like to point at things and your mom likes to point things out 🤣

“Born and raised in Korea…south side.” As a Chicagoan that’s the only way I’m going to refer to my Korean mother from now on. 😂❤

"Never say the first or second thing that pops into your head. Say the third." That is the best advice I've ever heard and that cooler story is the best.

[iTzJimBoi]

When a man has a powerful happy family behind him, you can almost feel the grounded confidence. Wonderful set.

[wikked]

I never heard of Michael Yo, but he is very funny. He is a perfect example your act doesn't have to be loaded with curses to be funny.

I'm a Korean woman and somehow every line of your mom automatically gets translated into Korean in a unique tone in my head and it's so funny 😂

[dcc.]

I felt this to the CORE. My mother is Korean and my dad is Black also an Army veteran.... this was my life growing up 😂😂😂

[adeelansari]

"Walk away Son" is the best advice a dad can give to a married son 😅

[RoyDollwet]

So fluid. He's a natural. Turning his life into hilarious stories.

[Alexardelean]

Describing people instead of naming them is such a older person thing lol I love that

[faintsherin]

Confident black man with good father as his role model and feisty mom to keep him grounded, that’s a solid family right there. Bless you good sir!

[Leeny]

Your daughter is SO lucky to have you as her father.

[christosmavrommatis]

"we gave birth to Pandas" and " baby I can't believe this cooler is broken" put me down into tears.. excellent show❤

[stephencherry]

"I can't believe this cooler." 😂 He saved his marriage.

"IT'S Da TRUE, IT'S Da TRUE, What? You don't like Da TRUE? Do I LIE? Do I LIE?"
Luvin' it...

No wonder he's a comedian. American Black father, South Korean mother, and married a White White woman, he had to develop a sense of humor just to survive! Thank you, Michael Yo, for clean, family comedy. Going to go watch full Special so I can laugh out loud more, because it's so "truuuue".

[sueveleke]

Just the kind of comedy we all need right now. Just love each other. So glad I found him.

"I would never drink out a fountain...that shit's disgusting"!! HILARIOUS!! He is FUNNY FUNNY..

[kimbeneli]

Oh my!! His mom sounds exactly like my 89 yr old mother!! She's always letting us know she's reached the age she can say whatever she wants to come out of her mouth... She says age & wisdom has it's privilege & she can say whatever she wants
