Jo Koy has been in the business of comedy for 30 years, but you probably just recently started to hear about him.

It's taken a long time but Jo is making it big with his standup, yet he's still humbled by his beginnings. He got his first big break back when Jay Leno was helming The Tonight Show, and right up to that point he was without insurance with multiple jobs like cleaning a yacht & working as a shoe salesman at the Nordstrom Rack (yes, the discount version of the fancy brand!). 

Jo shared other stories of his rise to success with us, leading up to his summer standup tour that he was able to share with his 15 year old son in Australia, "now he's enjoying the fruits of my labor" he says. "That was the best tour of my life because my son was with me."

Jo Koy is performing two shows at the Beacon Theater November 9th as part of the New York Comedy Festival, get tickets at www.jokoy.com.

Whenever Dr. Oz stops by the big show studio we know we are going to cover a wide range of topics.

This time we learned CPR, investigated pre-made cauliflower products and if they are healthy, learned about the misconceptions of skim milk over whole milk, we talked about the debut of a new food series “The Dish” on Oz!

Daphne Oz, Valerie Bertinelli and Jessie James Decker are all in the segment and they "dish" on the hottest food trends! Will it become a completely separate show? Only time will tell!

Catch season 10 of “The Dr. Oz Show” weekdays at 1PM on FOX 5.

Maury Povich has become the king of the lie detector test! He’s been doing it for 21 years on his hit syndicated show “Maury” and it’s become an institution!

We got into deep discussion about his beginnings: “We started together” Maury said, “we were rookies at the same time,” to his time on “A Current Affair,” the birth of the lie detector phenomenon and so much more when Maury stopped by the studio (with his 7 year old golden retriever “Birdie,” named after one of his favorite things to do….golf!).

“It’s the best job in the world” Maury says about his show, “I’m kinda like a glorified school teacher, I finish in April and I go back to work in August.”

When talking about “Maury” he says authenticity was key in creating the drama! When he did his first paternity test many years ago, he explained “I don’t wanna know the result, I don’t want to know anything more than anyone else.” And when the signature line “you’re not the father” was created, he was just as surprised as much as anyone else.  

The Maury show is taking its famous lie detector test on the road! The “Truth Truck” is crisscrossing the US to give fans an interactive experience with one of the show’s most iconic segments. Head to Washington Square Park October 30th to take the lie detector!

Catch season 21 of “MAURY” weekdays at 9AM on PIX-11 and bonus episodes at 10am!
