Summary

One of Rachael's favorite comedians, Michael Yo, joins her on this episode of Be Here For A While to debate recent pop culture topics - ie DRAKE's new album and Ariana Grande's engagement to Pete Davidson... as well as discuss their comedy careers, juggling a career with a new baby, and making a name for yourself. And Michael drops one of Rachael's now-favorite quotes, "people outgrow jokes, they don't outgrow you". Comedian Michael Yo is a 2-time Emmy nominee, is a stand-up comedian coming up under the wings of Chelsea Handler on “Chelsea Lately” as a recurring comedy panelist. Stand-up has become a staple for Michael and he is now headlining across the country. Michael is Hollywood’s resident entertainment and pop culture expert. He can be seen covering celebrity news and gossip on CBS’ “The Insider” as well as guest co-hosting CBS’ “The Talk,” and appearing regularly as a hot topic talker on “The Wendy Williams Show.” The self-proclaimed “Half-Black Brother with a Korean Mother” is known in the entertainment industry as the more respectful entertainment news correspondent as he will always embarrass himself more than his interviewees.
