      I liked the intention and it was entertaining enough

      Jokoy is in the special, but he's mostly emceeing. He told jokes that I've heard from him before, but they're still funny. For me, it was too short and I felt like they could have shown other aspects of Filipino culture-maybe showcase top Filipino chefs in North America, fashion designers, singers, etc, but they only had 55 mins, so they did what they could. I think he also tried to be as current as possible with the people he featured, but some of the jokes went over the audience's heads, I felt, and the green jokes didn't get the reactions that they probably would have with a more westernized audience. The second comedian was very funny, though. I'm giving this special a 7 for the milestone it achieved and for pushing the diversity and cultural envelope and still being a fun watch.

      Disappointing . Wasted opportunity.

      Disappointing and average . Get rid of the guest comedians who were not very funny . All of the guest artists were average. The singer at the end , what a waste of time . The whole thing could have been better and longer if Jo koy had a lot more stage time and If bringing or showing artists then have only local talent not people flown in from USA . More visuals with out and about in the Philippines with his family or on his own . The USA guests and boy band singer at the end made most of it a waste of time . I was looking forward to seeing more of the Philippines and more of his comedy both of which would have made a better show .

      Could have potential

      Jo joy is one of the funniest stand ups in the world right now, I can see what he was trying to do by introducing philipino comics and dancers to try and give them publicity, however it didn't really work. They weren't that good.

      Loved the message, but was disappointed

      As much as I love what he's doing, trying to showcase his culture and all, the show, although there were a few laughs here and there, overall was pretty dull. Could have been much much better.

      Not a JoKoy Comedy Stand-up Show

      And a dull Justin Bieber wannabe at the end of the show.
