According to his website, Florida-born Hernández has Cuban-Dominican roots and grew up in Miami. According to Variety, his mum fled Cuba with her family when she was 12, and moved to Spain and then the Dominican Republic before relocating to the US. His background influences his stand-up work. “A lot of the jokes I say and the stuff that I write has to do with our relationship growing up,” he told Variety. “She went through a lot to get to the US and to make a name and a world for herself, so I respect her very much and I trust her judgment.”
