036 MICHAEL YO - Comedian, Entertainer, & Hollywood Veteran

Michael is a comedian, actor, and host. He's a jack of all trades in the entertainment world and is a 2-time Emmy nominee. Before heading to Hollywood, Michael played college football at Arkansas before his career was cut short due to multiple concussions. He's starred in tv shows such as Amber Brown, Kevin Can Wait, Happy Together, and many more. He's covered celebrity news as a host on shows like The Inside, Extra, and E! News, and The Talk. He coached Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian as radio DJS for their show Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami. He's been a regular guest on shows like Chelsea Handler and The Wendy Williams Show. He appeared on season 15 of America's Got Talent where he reached the quarter finals. You may also recognize him from multiple appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience. And just recently, Michael released a brand new comedy special titled "I Never Thought" which you can find on YouTube. This comedy special is hilarious. I highly recommend it. Michael is a gifted communicator, a natural storyteller, and a genuinely joyful person. But above it all he's an incredible man, husband, and father, and it was an honor to get to chat with him.
