I can NOT believe Roy's not the host now. He nailed the guest spot -- was so relaxed and on point and all that.
I really wanted him. If nto that I was hoping they'd just keep rotating the existing cast as hosts because most of them also knocked it out of the park.
I actually thought that Roy would be the next great host! Im very disappointed in the Daily show and I have not watched alot of it since they essentially forced his hands! Why stay at a job that wants to keep you in the bench!
I stopped midway through the interview to watch the 2023 Correspondents Dinner. Roy Wood Jr., you are a comedy gem. Your commentary is clever, relatable, timeless, AND hilarious! This was a great interview, Toure!
The Correspondents Dinner is not only hilarious but objectively one of the most meaningful bits of comedy I've ever seen
Totally agree! Roy is hilarious and I think underrated.
Agreed ‼️👆🏽
Powerful performance! ❤
If you stopped midway through, I hope you came back to watch the end when he discussed his approach towards fatherhood. Damn near brought a tear to my eye. Our time with our kids is limited. Let them get to know the person, more than just the parent.
This is not just an interview, it's a comedy master class from professor Woods
I thought for sure Roy was gonna be the host. He's so good, I would've started watching The Daily Show again. I'll follow him wherever he goes now.
I was late to Roy Wood but Ba-by. He is the one. His comedy is soo smart and he still lets you know he is a black man.
Comedy is hard, and fatherhood is harder. Roy is clearly a devoted father who had the seeds of great fatherly wisdom and insight instilled within him. Additionally, he is a student and an emerging master of the art of comedy. I'm rooting and cheering for you, Roy! Keep on winning for your family and yourself!
My dream team still is Roy cohosting with Jordan. They have such great chemistry.
They are the best!
Roy is brilliant. I can’t believe they passed him up. The worst mistake ever. I don’t watch the Daily Show anymore just because of this.
I haven’t watched since they passed him over. Hassan is not the vibe and his comedy is dishonest in a way that’s fine for comedy but out of place in a political comedy show. Roy is integrity and truth personified, he just happens to be a hysterical comedian ❤
@@heyheyNow well said!
@@heyheyNow Integrity? He is the token angry black man. That can be funny at certain points, but there are topics where you have to go beyond. Hassan can provide that. Roy can't.
@@chrichtonsworld1 you don’t know what words mean and that’s okay. Have a good one.
@@chrichtonsworld1 I never saw him as "angry" on the show.
Stop projecting.
The Dailey Show screwed up by losing Roy Woods
I can’t really watch it no more without him and Trevor
Clarence Thomas as NFT explanation is one of the best things aired on television ever!!! I love/hate that, at his level of skill and expertise, Roy is still reviewing the tape and kicking himself after winning the game.
I love Roy Wood Jr.❤ You said something I really needed to hear. I want to give you some insight too about your son. Only expose Henry to age appropriate things in your life. Understand that you are currently operating in the frame of thinking that you may not be alive when he is a young adult because that is what happened with you and your dad. Keep a journal for things you want to share with your son. That way you write it down for him to get at an appropriate time and he is not being expose prematurely to adult things. I love you Roy!
Yo…I love his approach to joke development. I’m sure that’s standard but I’ve never heard it explained like that
Always will love and miss CP time 😢 a true jem of the daily show. Roy, you are forever loved. Best wishes on your next chapter. 🎉
That mustache though. 😆
Roy is the GOAT and deserves the Daily Show and so much more. All Love.
The best interview I’ve seen about the craft of comedy.
Roy is brilliant. The way he handles the his craft, he's a genius.
This was such a fantastic interview. Roy dropping science and truth to power. Thank you ❤ Continue to RISE Roy!!! Wood doing GOOD 🎉😊
I love Roy’s brilliance and wisdom ❤
Haha you enjoy zesty
Roy, I hope your next chapter is the best for you. You deserve to head The Daily Show because you are hilarious and thought-provoking!
You forget the most important word to describe him . Moist
Listening to Roy break down how he refines his routine made me respect him and his craft much more. I have never heard a comedian break it down like that. It also made me think Monique complaining about her Netflix offer but never mentioning putting in this much work.
This was such a great interview! I've always loved his comedy, but to see him converse like this is a whole other level. He's such a chill, well thought out intelect. His thought process on his career and pushing forward not relying on big comedy to hold him down and make a solid plan is admirable. Again this was great!
Roy is one of the hardest working comedians out there. The Daily Show is not worth watching without him, imp. ❤
Fabulous interview with one of my favourite “filterers” of the news and life in general. Keep doing what you do, Roy!
I love how relatable his decision to leave the Daily Show was for my journey. I had 2 businesses since 2015 - one in marketing and one in real estate. The pandemic gave me the opportunity to devote more time to my businesses and LESS time to the job I had from 2011 - 2021. While I loved that work, I realized WHERE I was in 2021 it was time to move on and grow these businesses that I have so much passion for.
I adore the people I worked for and the people we educated. It was highly valuable work BUT it was no longer my place to be and I saw that. Sending you much love and respect @roywoodjr.
Roy is a gem.
They screwed you Roy I am glad you left , start your own show. You got too much talent.
Wow. What a great interview. I love Roy. His comedy is what brought me. But what I take away is dynamics of parenting and connecting with your children. Really profound discussion here. Thank you.
I’m not a comedian but I’m a writer and I love to hear about the process. Great interview. Love Roy. New to the other guy. Like finding new.
I’ve put this on my Mount Rushmore of interviews! OUTSTANDING👏🏾👏🏾
They did him dirty. They should have made him host.
Roy Woods You are amazing. Keep doing the work. ❤🖤💚
Great interview! Roy Wood Jr. is so layered. He really was open and vulnerable. I commend him for that.
That's one thing I miss about being in the US, comedy clubs (with actual good comedians).
Shout out to Peoria, IL (where my father grew up); who would've thought it'd get a mention?!
I wish more parents were this reflective about parenting, but then again so many are too busy trying to make a living that they don't have the time or energy.
I hope he finds out what kind of pasta he wants to make. I'm looking forward to seeing what he decides. I'll support it!
He should have been the host.
I love Roy. So disappointed he won’t be the host of The Daily Show. I want to live in that universe.
The last 10 mins of this podcast were more pivotal to me than any other podcast I’ve heard in years. I owe to my kids to talk with them more 🙌🏼
Also, this was a masterclass in joke writing and the creative process of an artist.
roy is a gem , i love him, we r lucky to get to witness his genius
One of the funniest people in the business. Really clear expose on his method. Also intelligent and relatable. Hopefully he can build up his own base. His performance in the correspondence dinner was brilliant. Foxnews could laugh at themselves as well as the president laugh at himself.
Massive respect for Roy Wood Jr.
Roy you’re one of the best we’re gonna miss you wish you the best and many blessings for this new year to your new arrival God bless your wife and may you continue to live a peaceful life❤
Mr. Roy Wood should have his own show.
I have never seen this show before. I definitely came here for Roy! I love this man so much! He made an impression on me in person in 2016, and I am a fan for life. This was such an interesting interview, someone on here said masterclass. I never heard a comedian talk about these things. I look forward to seeing him on stage in 2024, and wherever he “lands”, I’ll support. Also would love to see what you and Jordan do together- a big fan of his style also! Wishing you all the Blessings, Roy! 🥰
"I want to be heard." Important. Glad I heard straight from the source. Informative interview.
The best way to describe Roy is that he's wise and brilliant. He could slay in any medium, we're all lucky that comedy was his weapon of choice.
This comment made me smile! 😊
Damn I want Roy to get the job. I thought he had it in the bag after the white house correspondence dinner
I have so much respect for Roy and his perspective. Hearing his rationale for co-parenting leaves me with no doubt that he's going to raise a great son.
Mellow interviewer with my fav chill comedian. Perfect combo and awesome interview! Thank you 😊
"Specially if you're black." For real, we don't expect for everything to go our way, and are used to having to make lemonade with the lemons life gives us, being afraid is pointless.
I'm the same age as Roy, also grew up in the South, but white. My HS was almost exactly 50/50 white & black. I played football & basketball so I didn't isolate myself in 'white' sports like tennis or soccer either. So I consider myself fully integrated and had plenty of friends of either color. You could say I felt comfortable and accepted sitting at any lunch table in the cafeteria.
I like to think that if we went to the same high school, Roy and I would've been good friends that still keep in touch to this day.
I love Roy Wood Jr. Very smart, thoughtful and intentional. He's going to go far.
I think Roy Wood Junior would have made the best choice for the daily show anchor role.
I believe Hasan Minaj would be a better choice since he's no the same level as Trevor Noah. Whereas, Roy Woods is not.
First time i've seen this - came for Roy - staying for Toure - wow! Fabulous!
I hope they are smart enough to offer him the permanent host of the Daily Show. No one does it better.
I been following Roy since the early 2000’s when he would drop in on the Bob and Tom radio show. He used to do these hilarious prank calls from a station in Alabama that were so so crazy. It’s been a joy watch his evolution and growth as a comedian and entertainer and writer. He’s always funny, period, end of story.
Roy Wood, Jr is consistently get my attention and 👍
This is one of those interviews I didn’t know I needed until I saw it. I didn’t realize until I watched it that I’ve never seen Roy Wood Jr outside of the I guess Roy Wood Jr persona if you will. I’ve seen him on The Daily Show/specials and all that but I’ve never seen a legitimate interview with him. I’m glad he didn’t feel the need to be “on” the whole time in this thing. It was a really interesting watch. I would have loved to hear the Paul Mooney story but I guess he talked about it too long and had to circle back to RWJ.
Roy reminds me so much of my dad when he was his age (at least my dad's good parts), and so listening to him reminds me of and helps me focus on the good times with him (he hasn't spoken to me for years.) And as someone trying to build a career in entertainment, listening to Roy's wisdom helps keep me grounded and focused - dude's got his head on straight, and I have so much respect for him.
Chris Rock explained that the bigger your audience, the dumber the audience. You have to save your more creative, intelligent jokes for smaller crowds
Roy knows the craft of comedy and his niche.
This only comes from experience - so sad the Daily show lost him.
Imhop comedy central is going to regret it.
Roy - you should do your own show.
"Michael B Jordan lost his daddy that day" was one of my favorites
Wow! Just Wow! I've watched a lot of comedy and interviews with comedians, but I've never heard anyone break down exactly how they construct a joke and a set list like this. Roy should teach a Master Class for Comics and Writers.
I saw Roy Wood Jr in Atlanta a few months ago. It was a phenomenal show. I really only watched TDS for Roy and Dulce Sloan. I was never a Trevor Noah fan.
1:13:00 is Roy teaching his son emotional intelligence
All the way from last comic standing, now a star
True craftsmanship. I feel like I just had a master class! Thank you! 🙏🏽 ❤
😢
I enjoyed this interview in many levels
This is an intellectual exchanged laced with occasional laughter here and there
What I take away from the interview is the depth on the subject of being a Parent and parenting
It hit the core as I never thought about my Dad's Dad
I lost my Dad at the age 16 and my son will be 16 in July 24th and TODAY the way I am going to deal with him is going to be different
Thank you very much
You guys rock
This man is a comedy legend
Roy Wood Jr. Is one of my faves.
I never really thought twice about this guy.. I chuckled at his bit on the daily show but I would never have thought to go see this guy in stand-up routine.. I absolutely love the way he broke down how he comes up with material and how incredibly intelligent he is and it's enough to make me want to watch his comedy specials cuz he works hard.
Have we been watching the evolution of Roy Wood Jr. into the modern (hu)mans Dick Gregory? either way I like it.
Roy is always on point and this is just a great conversation in general. Thanks for sharing!
Daily Show fumbled the bag on Roy fasho
Zesty
Love Roy ❤
This was an amazing and fruitful conversation
#AlwaysHereForRoyWoodJr
I think Roy Wood is a highly intelligent and astutely analytical person. Articulate when serious, articulate with his humor when that's what's he is doing.
first time watcher/listener to the show. i really enjoyed this. i've always loved roy wood jr and his work, but i thought you were a really good host/interviewer. was a really good show. subbed, liked and looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Not that anyone cares what I think but my choice for host of the Daily Show was either Roy or Trae Crowder. Both from the South. We need a new perspective. I WANTED Roy to do the news angry. That’s what I missed with Trevor. He wasn’t ever angry.
I always thought Jessica Williams was the obvious choice back in the day but currently Roy, Jordan, Hasan, all would be great.
Trae Crowder would've been great!!
“Deserve’s got nothing to do with it” was also in Unforgiven. Clint Eastwood to Gene Hackman.
They disrespected Roy so let them surf hosts some more. I can't care after all this time I rarely catch it now.
Good interview,I really enjoyed it!!!
Great interview!
As a budding comedian, I appreciate you Roy Wood Jr. I’ve been watching you since I was a child. This was so full of gems for young comedians.
Great interview. I personally think, even though it's oversaturated, that Roy coud hold down an amazing podcast, maybe just talkking to regular everyday people.
One of his funniest stories to me is about his mom meeting “Rod Stewart” at a buffet or something in Vegas and then them actually seeing him in Harrods in London. Oh and that his mom has a picture of Rod up in her house. So funny.
Roy Wood Jr....found you on the the Steve Czaban show out of DC a long time back. Love your comedy. Absolutely loved Confess Fletch. You were a riot. Hope a sequel is in the works.
Love the Roy wood jr been watching your shows lately.
I'm only one minute in and I just want to say I wanted Wood to be the host. To me the choice was obvious!
So Obvious! I won't be watching The Daily Show anymore.
@@FasterFaster196 weeeeeell, let's see who they choose. I really liked Trevor quite a lot, so they may choose a winner yet.
Just quit my job of two decades and he totally verbalised how I feel, no clue what the future holds but I'll figure it out
The key is to change jobs every three years. No one should sink twenty years into a job. There is no growth in doing that.
RWJ is a great mind... but I think he did what he thought was best for him and his family. He also made the Daily Show's decision easier. Now, let's look into the future. Trevor was hand-picked by John, who is picking the next host? Do you Roy, but I will not be surprised if they come calling you 4-5 years later to host. Then it's your decision again. That's power!
that's not power fam, that's going backwards. 4-5yrs he will on to bigger things
I really enjoyed this ❤️
I can't believe the Daily Show didn't offer Roy Wood Jr. that job, he was the most suited for it. Instead they're trying out all these losers, who don't get me to tune in. I would have tuned in every day with Roy at the helm. SMH. They've been on a downward spiral since Jon Stewart left.
not bad first time listing to ur show. very chill
what an angle. so good
Thank you, Professor!
Roy seems like a great dad
Gratitude.
Roy has done Daily Show, he is way bigger than that show now !
It didn't bother me in 2016 that comedians were enjoying the easy laughs of DT. It scared the hell out of me that news media and reporters loved the easy coverage. No research was necessary, because he piled his shit show higher every day and they just looked at what was on the top of the pile.
A true craftsman.
This was very good
