Roy Wood Jr. Talks Cleaning Up Trump’s ‘Skid Marks’ on ‘The Daily Show’
When I spoke to Daily Show correspondent and stand-up comic Roy Wood Jr. almost exactly a year ago this week about how the comedy world was coping with the coronavirus shutdown, he told me ominously, “I’m not concerned about my dates, I fear for this industry as a whole.”
Now, as comedians are finding more and more creative ways to perform live, he is starting to sound a bit more hopeful on this week’s episode of The Last Laugh podcast.
In addition to his continued appearances on The Daily Show from his New York apartment—more on that below—and launching a new podcast of his own called Roy’s Job Fair, Wood just announced that he will be taping a new hour-long special that is set to premiere on Comedy Central before the end of the year.
