Comedian and actor Jo Koy will host the newly revamped Golden Globes, organizers announced Thursday.

The stand-up, who starred in "Easter Sunday" and Disney's "Haunted Mansion," said he was excited to be overseeing the party that kicks off three months of movie industry ceremonies.

“I’ve stepped onto a lot of stages around the world in my career, but this one is going to be extra special,” Jo Koy said in a statement.

“This is that moment where I get to make my Filipino family proud. Mahal kita (Google it)!”

“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.”

Jo Koy is known for his relatable comedy that pulls inspiration from his colorful family. His recent “Funny Is Funny World Tour” broke sales records at some of the most prestigious venues around the world. He has also released five specials on Comedy Central and Netflix, the Golden Globes noted.
