"We are thrilled to have Jo host the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards and bring his infectious energy and relatable humor to kick off Hollywood's award season. We can't wait to see what he has in store for the stars in the room and a global audience," said Helen Hoehne, Golden Globes president. "We know Jo is bringing his A-game."

"I've stepped onto a lot of stages around the world in my career, but this one is going to be extra special. I'm so excited to be hosting the Golden Globes this year," said Koy. "This is that moment where I get to make my Filipino family proud. Mahal Kita (Google it)!"

"Jo's genuine brand of comedy is sure to entertain our honorees in the room at the Beverly Hilton and viewers at home. We are excited to work with him to make this year's show laugh-out-loud from beginning to end," said executive producing showrunners Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner.

Koy is widely recognized as a leading stand-up comedian, actor and author.
