talent.<\/em><\/h5>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>HOLLYWOOD, Los Angeles \u2014\u00a0It was a full-circle Hollywood moment for Jo Koy on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, as the Filipino American comedian pressed his hands and feet into cement at the historic\u00a0TCL Chinese Theatre, joining the ranks of entertainers immortalized in the theater\u2019s famed forecourt.<\/p>\n<p>The imprint ceremony, a long-standing Hollywood tradition dating back to 1927, recognizes artists whose careers have made a cultural impact. With family, friends and fellow performers looking on, Koy smiled broadly as he leaned into the wet cement, pausing for photos before signing his name beneath the impressions.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony was hosted by fellow comedian and actor\u00a0Tiffany Haddish, who shared remarks celebrating Koy\u2019s journey from stand-up clubs to sold-out arenas. Among those present were comedian\u00a0Gabriel Iglesias, actor and comedian\u00a0Martin Lawrence, musician\u00a0Babyface, and\u00a0Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas, reflecting the cross-industry support for the milestone.<\/p>\n<p>Born Joseph Glenn Herbert Sr., Koy built his career through years of stand-up touring before breaking into mainstream success with comedy specials and the 2022 studio film\u00a0Easter Sunday, a project centered on a Filipino American family gathering. The film marked one of the few major studio releases anchored by a Filipino American lead and ensemble.<\/p>\n<p>The TCL Chinese Theatre imprint ceremony is distinct from the Hollywood Walk of Fame star program; it is administered by the theater itself and reserved for select honorees invited to participate in the forecourt tradition. Past participants have included actors, directors and performers whose careers have spanned generations of film and television history.<\/p>\n<p>For many Filipino Americans, Koy\u2019s imprint carried symbolic weight. His comedy has long drawn from his upbringing, particularly stories about his Filipino mother, and his routines have helped introduce Filipino family culture to broader American audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday\u2019s ceremony underscored a career milestone measured not only in box office receipts and ticket sales, but in permanence: his name and handprints now sit in concrete along Hollywood Boulevard, part of a tradition nearly a century old.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source asianjournal.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share Post Viber icon Viber Email Jo Koy cements his legacy in Hollywood with a handprint and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre, marking a milestone for Filipino American talent. \u00a0 HOLLYWOOD, Los Angeles \u2014\u00a0It was a full-circle Hollywood moment for Jo Koy on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, as the Filipino American comedian pressed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2281491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[437518,441961,24386,441962,441963,364904,376922,441964,367413],"class_list":["post-2281490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-asian-journal-entertainment","tag-cement-handprints","tag-entertainment-news","tag-filipino-american-comedian","tag-hollywood-imprint-ceremony","tag-hollywood-news","tag-jo-koy","tag-los-angeles-events-2026","tag-tcl-chinese-theatre"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jo-Koy-honored-with-TCL-Chinese-Theatre-handprint-ceremony-in.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2281490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2281490"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2281490\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2281492,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2281490\/revisions\/2281492"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2281491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2281490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2281490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2281490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
