Jonathan Ng Sposato
“I always try new things.”
That is how Geekwire chairman and co-founder Jonathan Ng Sposato described his motivation in creating JoySauce Network – a multifaceted media platform focused on Asian Americans – during an interview with AsAmNews.
“It’s almost like a parallel universe, where I feel that by default, portrayals of the Asian diaspora are always very positive and flattering and joyful and hopeful,” Sposato said.
JoySauce Network boasts several different contents – from podcasts, scripted and non-scripted shows, editorials, stand-up comedy specials, and so much more.
On Dec. 3, JoySauce Network launched the first episode of its late-night talk show, JoySauce Late Night, with video game developer Kiki Wolfkill as the special guest.
“In terms of cast, host, and guests, it’s the first all AAPI late-night talk show,” Sposato said.
He added that JoySauce Late Night is a space to showcase various AAPI visionaries and leaders.
Iconic playwright David Henry Hwang also graced JoySauce Late Night with his presence. Sposato described Hwang as “everyone’s favorite uncle.”
