“People ask me, ‘How do you juggle all these jobs?’” says comedian, actor, TV host and radio DJ Michael Yo. “I find it pretty easy because they’re all entertainment. It’s not like I do all these and then I’m a doctor at night. I compare it to being a chef at an American restaurant. No one says, ‘Wow, you can cook a burger and make salmon and make fries?’ It’s just cooking. It’s different products, but it’s all in the same world.”
Unlike his former colleagues on Chelsea Lately, Yo became a comedian after that show started. He’d go to different markets to interview celebrities and people would often ask where he was performing.
“They just assumed that since I was on a show with comedians, I was a stand-up comedian, too,” he says. “The Asian side of me said, ‘Business opportunity.’ ”
