Roy Wood Jr. on Trump Not Milking His Assassination Attempt Enough & Why JD Vance is Very Brave

Roy talks to guest host Anthony Anderson about spending eight years on the “Daily Show,” Trump not milking the assassination attempt enough, why JD Vance is very brave, these political conventions being like reverse roasts, his old resume having typos, being offered cocaine as payment for doing stand-up, his new Hulu comedy special, One Night Only: Over the Course of Multiple Nights stand-up tour, and Anthony digs up an old clip from a PBS documentary where Roy played a Union soldier.

Glad to see Roy’s doing well and can’t wait to see his new material. But, man, I miss him on The Daily Show. Wish they’d gotten their sh*t together before he got fed up and quit.

[@laurafordemocracy]

Roy is so quick! He's brilliantly funny. ☺️

[@tannaziii1]

The chemistry, them being themselves but also on top of their game... This was delightful to watch!

[@Sportsmngmt]

Yes!!!

[@sharrielee911]

Roy wood Jr is simply hilarious 🤣 luv his stand-up😂

This isn't an interview. This is a natural conversation between two friends on TV. Love to see it!!

I miss Roy Wood Jr. on the daily show so much. He's really funny.

[@crystalsherman8896]

Me too. I miss him and Trevor Noah

[@ZolaClyde]

He should’ve been the host when Trevor Noah left, but no….

[@TheWtfanime]

@@ZolaClyde Yeah he had more than what it would have took to be the host

[@anthonygordon9483]

@@ZolaClyde I actually like the rotation. Cause the rotation got Jon Stewart back who was tired of doing it for so long. Also keeping the rotation allows people to visit like Roy.

[@MattSF23]

Roy's bit in that old documentary was great; he knows how far he's come and yet you feel he's a humble man at his core. He took on that 'Universites' joke and made it work for him...effortlessly. RWJ is the real deal! We love Roy!

Thank you, Roy, for pointing out the best of D C. from a third generation native Washingtonian.

[@marciaroy2096]

His tribute to his mom at the Whitehouse correspondence dinner was priceless and precious! I hope my child speaks of me one day like that!

[@Chichi-ld1eo]

Yes, loved his WH speech!

[@GlobalCitizen55]

I get happy everytime Roy’s on!

[@dunkelmonkey]

I thought Roy was gonna say that JD Vance is brave because "look what almost happened to the last guy who was Trump's Vice President"

Roy Wood Jr is so dope. Hilarious and talented!!!!

[@barbarahering484]

Roy is one of my favorites !

[@TheGiggleMasterP]

That Resume is a result of there being no spellcheck back then. Appreciate your luxuries people!

[@Omni0404]

I'm pressing X to doubt. That was clearly made using a rich text formatter of some type- I think we'd be seeing major janky formatting problems if it was using software pre-spell check.

[@Chichi-ld1eo]

What are you talking about?

[@puravidahoy]

I love how they hype each other up❤️❤️❤️

[@0zzzzz]

Roy actually surprised by the clip they dug up, priceless 🤌🤌

[@BranceCrantly]

Roy should be the host of The Daily Show. Hands down.

[@sevenprovinces]

Yes! Couldn't agree more. They say 'black don't crack' but the guy cracks me up every time with his dry, dead-pan humor.

[@jallen4616]

I totally agree!

[@baxtronx5972]

Yeah, he miscalculated that one. Now it's never going to happen.

[@randomname4726]

For sure! I came here to comment this.

[@yerabbit]

@@baxtronx5972 Why's that? (I honestly don't know, I hadn't heard)

Roy is one of the best out there, no question. His deadpan delivery is gold.

​@@pareeshaslaughter6798not true at all. They never offered him the job.

I didn't realize he'd left permanently - darn! He was one of my favs. Tho some of the newbies are great, especially Josh Johnson. 8 years is a good run

[@aimeeamigone2717]

Love these guys❤❤❤❤❤

[@laurafay2796]

On not going to the RNC- "No I'm happy to not go to that" I love the way Roy's voice goes up to make a point. Like in his bit on people thinking black people are angry "all of a sudden". "We BEEN angry" high voice ❤ He just keeps getting better

[@Jordanimal84]

Yo I love how he just be standing there at the opening of his standup specials and it's like, "Ladies and gentlemen...Mr. Roy. Wood. JUNIORRR!!!" *applause* *silence* ".....If you want more people to stand up for the National Anthem...CHANGE THE SONG!!!" Like we been having a stoner conversation for the last 3 hours 🤣🤣🤣
