The beloved comedian was honored with a prestigious Hand and Footprint Ceremony at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre, marking a major milestone in a career built on sharp storytelling, cultural pride, and an unwavering connection with audiences around the world.
The ceremony, one of Hollywood’s oldest and most exclusive traditions, recognizes artists whose work has made a lasting impact on film, television, and global entertainment. For Koy, the honor reflects not only his success as a stand‑up powerhouse but also his growing influence as an actor, producer, and cultural ambassador.

The comedian spoke with emotion and gratitude, acknowledging the Filipino community that has championed him throughout his rise and the fans who have embraced his humor across generations.
