From his joke about Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and even Taylor Swift and the NFL, viewers who saw the show found it a little unfunny. However, that is not what the comedian seems to think.

In his first stand-up performance after the show, Koy ended up sharing his thoughts about how the whole awards ceremony had not gotten what he was trying to do.
