Jo Koy’s ‘Easter Sunday’ puts Filipinos front and center
Actors can spend months preparing for a role, but in the comedy “Easter Sunday,” opening today at theaters nationwide, Filipino American comedian Jo Koy just had to be himself.In “Easter Sunday,” Koy plays Joe Valencia, who, like Koy himself, is a single dad and a stand-up comic. His mom insists that he drive to the family home for the Easter celebration, aka the “Filipino Super Bowl.”
“I was so blessed to be surrounded by so many great actors and actresses. It was like angels were holding my hand and guiding me on each scene.” “Why, Josep? Do you see any clowns in this family? Do you? Josep. Who told you you were funny? It wasn’t me, Josep.” Koy joked about the stereotypical way Whites try to relate to Asians by declaring how much they love orange chicken, which, Koy joked, is made perfect by Mexicans in Chinese restaurants.
