Roy Wood Jr. -- Father Figure

November 16, 2022 11:57 AM

From 2017, The Daily Show's Roy Wood Jr brings us an hour of comedy: Father Figure [1h]. Pointed observations about race that I appreciated while I laughed out loud in a room by myself.

Another side of Roy is yesterday's podcast Beyond The Scenes [56m], which examines the US Supreme Court and talks to court experts and show writers and provides insight about both the Court and comedy.

I just turned it on, but did he age backward? He's looking very youthful.

Thanks for posting, always more Roy Woods Jr.! He's got delivery, observations, that crackle in the voice. I don't eat McD's very often, but when I do:
"MacDONalds is Daliishuss!"

Roy Wood Jr. is my favorite comic. Perfect timing, perfect delivery, sharp insight.

He should have a talk show already. He would be an amazing host.

By far my favorite comic working today, e.g. Golden Coral Saved My Life (youtube).

If anyone is still reading, he's on the newest episode of Don't Ask Tig.
