Roy is so funny! I’m glad he’s getting recognition - it’s long overdue!

[@Surge1077]

I don't watch the Daily Show much these days, but streamed an episode a few weeks ago. Roy Wood Jr. did a traffic report that was just SO DARNED funny! I laughed so hard I literally almost fell out of my chair! Glad to see he's in the new Fletch movie.

[@kellyg358]

This man gains more and more of my respect every time I see him. He really is a national treasure.

Roy Wood Jr is an underrated comedy genius

[@toonlyrics]

Roy has me smiling before he even says anything. So hilarious with Trevor Noah. The smile turned into laughter as he did not disappoint. A lot of serious substance behind those quips, there is much more to him than just a talented comedian.

[@fistfull0fd0llars]

💯

[@fistfull0fd0llars]

He should be in his own movie or direct one I'd bet it would be brilliant. Also, tied with clepper for my favorite correspondent and dezi. Damn it I can't make up my mind

Roy greater than Trevor noah

[@michaelhake2291]

Sad some people think comedians are less human than other people.

[@GodOfWarWrath]

About darn time hes getting recognition. The way he delivers his jokes and his face reaction after that is almost second to none. Extremely funny and underrated

[@sevenirises]

Awwww....missed the show so much these last 3 weeks...so glad you're all back. Roy Woods Jr. is genius and one of the funniest comics I've ever heard. His timing and humor are impeccable. Lol so hard at the moldy bread story. 😂

“I went to school. I thought we had all the berries covered” 🤣

[@Petalumination]

But did they cover Marionberry?

[@geoffreyschultz8515]

So many berries, and so politicized in some places. Can’t teach Boysenberry under the “don’t say gay” laws. Cloudberry appropriated by Evangelicals as “God’s Berry” since he lives in the clouds. Gooseberries… I’ve never understood them. Seems like a part of Modern Physics… how can it be a Goose and a Berry at the same time? Not even starting on the currants, which are also berries, or are they…. ?

[@visions_of_noah]

Roy Wood Jr. held down the Daily Show, Louis Kato and Stay Human held down the Late Show, and Guillermo held down the Jimmy Kimmel show while their bosses went on extended vacations - give them all a raise.

[@androcus1]

Elderberries are a little bit smaller in size than peas. They are a deep colored red berry. They make very good jelly. My mom used to make it.

[@weedfreer]

only if you make sure to take away the stalks they're on and properly boil the juice...they're somewhat deadly toxic otherwise. Also, a bucket load of suger helps...a lot...with the flavour.

[@AndreaCrisp]

There are red elderberry and dark ones like blueberry/blackberry dark. The dark ones are typically the kind used for immunity.

[@yveanmore]

Natural funny man, really made me smile and the banter between him and Stephen was great too.

[@isaiahfrazier4176]

Gotta support my guy Roy always!

[@tiny99990]

It made me really happy that Stephen and Roy talked so openly and so naturally about therapy... Americans need a LOT more of it. It'd help the country as a whole in excellent ways... Just imagine if Trumplicans started going to therapy regularly they could see who brainwashed they are and their therapist could help them work their way out of it. Yeah there are plenty of liberals that could use the therapy and it'd help bring them out of their stuck up, high horse, mentality, overall it could help all Americans be more tolerant of views and enable us to collectively have constructive conversations about Politics rather than destructive and hostile arguments. This isn't even touching the fact that it is the greatest thing we could do to reduce the number of deaths due to gun violence in this country, gun control would work, but not to the extent that a mental healthcare push would, if we aren't going to do a single payer healthcare system we should at least have a national mental healthcare system that serves every single American free of cost. With a massive push for educating more Psychiatrists and a public campaign to normalize therapy and Psychological treatment as a whole to a much larger extent than is currently happening. The amount that this could help the U.S. is genuinely a bit scary because the largest issue we have in this country is the mental health of the majority of it.

[@oneirishpoet]

WTF are you talking about " liberals needing therapy? I'm a progressive 63-year-old male and nurse who went back to school in my fifties to get my nursing degree. I work in behavioral health at a large urban hospital, I'm extremely liberal and I sure as fuck don't need any therapy to figure out who I am or what's wrong with this fucked country and society we live in, why don't you keep your ignorant comments to yourself ya fecken idjit 😁

[@connycontainer9459]

This or 'Married with children'.

[@rlud304]

People don’t have mental health coverage if they even have insurance. If they don’t most cannot afford to pay. No offense but you’ve got some delusional or magical thinking going on with your national mental health system lol.

[@greg-op2jh]

Agreed 100%

[@tiny99990]

@@rlud304 "no offense" - proceeds to say I am delusional- you didn't read my post all the way, clearly, I realize its TLDR for most but at least read it if you are going to respond... I pointed out how a mental healthcare single payer system would be extraordinarily beneficial for Americans, this healthcare would include psychiatric services and talk therapy services along with any prescribed medications being free of cost. As far as delusional thinking goes... look at all the greatest minds, all the greatest idea's and you will find people called delusional, while I am *FAR* from a "greatest mind" label I don't exactly have the mind of a Qanon believer either somewhere in the middle like most people.

[@shadowwolf9267]

Definitely remember doing science fair in 9th or 10th grade where me and my buddy spent MONTHS of time doing qualitative research on the effects of music on the human mind and how it translated to paper in art classes. Hours and hours spent working with various classes and teachers to do this, had to get permissions to leave our classes in the day to do this. Weeks of looking at the submitted art pieces and translating this into quantitative data to present at the fair. And more time still going over how our presentation should go, how to start how to show, how to pitch it. Made it far into the finals, ended up going to State if I remember right. Meanwhile, we find a classmate at State that did an experiment with jump height and looked at various basketball shoes and trued to see if certain models of of shoe actually affected performance (he was into sports). Data was interesting and his presentation was decent, so we got to talking afterwards. Dude straight up told us he forgot about the initial project deadline (that year we were required to participate in the school science fair for the grade) and made the whole thing up the night before, data and all. Said he threw it together in an hour. After the first fair since he somehow got a ribbon his parents forced him to go as far as he could because they were proud of him. We were pissed at the time (obviously) but it cracks me up to this day thinking about it.
