![]() I got gigs on top of gigs I was working the road I got a commercial deal, you know? A lot of good things happened because of that. Then I did “The Tonight Show” and it was over with. I was already 15 years into standup when I got (it), and I was still working part time jobs everywhere, you know what I mean? I felt like I was going nowhere. Koy: My most memorable one is “The Tonight Show” - that was the one that changed my life. TDC: That would be great, so what’s your most memorable television appearance so far? (In his mother’s voice) “This is the new track from Kanye West.” ![]() Koy: Oh, man! That would be hilarious, my mom just playing Kanye all day and some Jay-Z at the same time. That is crazy that you even know that! Yeah, she is 66 and decided to become a DJ - so go for it, mom. ![]() TDC: In your sets you discuss how your parents were against you doing standup. It’s pretty much what happens, you know? It’s current and up to date on what’s going on in my family - as dysfunctional as it is. I will just elaborate a little bit, and I’ll soup it up a bit, but for the most part it’s pretty much my life. ![]() It’s kind of like the stories that my mom or son give me. TDC: Most of your stuff then is more autobiographical. Then it was like, well, I am talking about my mom anyways, so how hard is that to write about anyway? Then I talk about my son, and how hard is that? Koy: It’s funny because when I first started comedy, I used to jot a lot of stuff down trying to figure out the structure of the joke until the point I was getting comfortable on stage and being more conversational. TDC: You have been doing this for a number of years, so for your material do you sit down and write it or do you just come up with it on the spot? ![]()
