Michael Yo
Michael Yo is a two-time Emmy-nominated stand-up comedian, actor, and host whose first love is the stage. Houston-raised with Black and Korean roots, he turns his multicultural background and family life into warm, punchy storytelling that connects across generations.
Michael has released three full stand-up specials Blasian (2018), I Never Thought (2022), and Snack Daddy (2025 on YouTube). As a proud father and husband, he builds a huge chunk of his material around the beautiful chaos of family, turning parenting fails marriage negotiations, and cultural clashes into big, high-energy laughs. His style is clean enough for TV, real enough for late-show crowds, and always grounded in jokes that actually mean something.
Mentored early in his stand-up journey by Chelsea Handler and Jo Koy, Michael developed a voice that’s honest, self-deprecating, and relentlessly fun. He tours nationally, headlining clubs and theaters across the country, and holds a twice-weekly residency at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at THE LINQ in Las Vegas, while also appearing as a featured comedian in Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil. TV audiences were introduced to his stand-up on Season 15 of America’s Got Talent, where he received four yeses from the judges and advanced to the Quarter-Finals.
On the hosting side, Michael currently fronts the fast-paced, family-friendly game show Scrambled Up, airing in national syndication where his quick wit and crowd work drive
the action. He also leads A&E’s travel-food adventure series 1,000 Ways to Dine, mixing his love of storytelling with delicious, offbeat culinary experiences.
In the podcast and talk space, Michael is a regular on The Joe Rogan Experience, bringing his stand-up instincts and personal stories into long-form conversation. He also hosts “The Yo Show” podcast, blending stories from the road with insightful and funny conversations with fellow entertainers and creators.
As an actor, Michael recurs as Philip on the Apple TV+ series Amber Brown and has appeared in multiple scripted TV projects. Whether he’s on stage, on screen, or behind the mic, Michael Yo brings heart, energy, and a stand-up sensibility that always puts the comedy first.
