The Truth Behind The Joke: Roy Wood Jr. on Comedy and Survival
This is the very first episode of Unruly Subjects! And we’re featuring an interview with Roy Wood Jr. Roy is a stand-up comedian and Emmy-nominated writer with a new book out - a memoir entitled The Man of Many Fathers. We talk about fatherhood, dive deep into a segment he did on the Daily Show about Cop City, and the role of comedy in times of political turmoil. Also, Chenjerai reflects on a few news headlines, takes a phone call, & more.
