- The MTV Home (2009) challenge "Aushalten - Rauchen" ("Endure it - Smoking") which involved him and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf smoking various tobacco products nonstop while sitting in a car with closed windows resulted in him getting nicotine poisoning and being sick for 3 hours in the evening on the day it was filmed, never having smoked except for a brief couple of months as a teen. Longtime smoker Klaas Heufer-Umlauf did not smoke at the time the challenge was filmed either, having quit several years earlier, but ended up taking up smoking again two weeks after.
- Has a daughter, Mila-Marie (b. 31 July 2010), with his partner Lisa.
- He has a fear of heights.
- Born in Mönchengladbach, he grew up in the Waldniel district of Schwalmtal with his two older sisters. They were raised by their father after their mother's death from breast cancer when Joko was 6.
- [correctly guessing a prank call that involved samples of his own voice talking to him was made by Klaas Heufer-Umlauf] How stupid do you think I am? This is a number of our company calling me and I am talking to myself. Who, besides Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, has so much time to deal with such nonsense in order to delight himself by cutting snippets from what was probably a podcast I just did with Paul [Ripke] and calling me using them?!
- [after Klaas Heufer-Umlauf confirmed he was the person behind a prank call to Joko that involved samples of Joko's own voice talking to him] Find yourself a different hobby!
- [on creating a Circus Halligalli (2013) "Longest Day" challenge for Klaas Heufer-Umlauf] Another thing Klaas is unbelievably uncomfortable with are shopping centers. There are lots of people who are shopping in those, and both shopping and lots of people are things he finds super horrible.
- [Klaas Heufer-Umlauf: Have you ever smoked in your life?] Yes, indeed. From ages 16 to 16 and a half. I had this deal at home that, if I didn't drink and smoke until I was 18, the expenses for my driving license would be covered. Yeah, I paid for that myself in the end.
- [to Klaas Heufer-Umlauf while sitting unnecessarily close to him during a Circus Halligalli (2013) challenge which involved both of them locked up in a small box, attempting to get each other to leave the box first through various means] I never sat this close to you. You have really beautiful ears. [Klaas: Stop it now, please. [covers face with hands] Oh God, I wish I was dead.]
