Koy relates how inspiration struck while he was on a comedy tour, as he realized he wanted to capture the voice of his own mother and share how his family's experiences are just like every other family's experience, despite the differences in background. He also talks about co-stars Tia Carrere, Lou Diamond Phillips and Tiffany Haddish. As Jo Koy says: "It's singing, it's dancing, it's crying. It's everything that a family goes through, all in one day."
