Election Week Special Encore Episode -

In a media landscape often clouded by misinformation, spin, and opinion posing as news, celebrating those with a large platform who are committed to speaking truth to power is more important than ever.

Roy Wood Jr. is a stand-up comedian and the host of CNN’s Have I Got News for You. He regularly appears on The Daily Show, has hosted the prestigious White House Correspondents' Dinner, and has earned critical acclaim for his numerous stand-up specials. Throughout his career, he’s boldly addressed sensitive issues around race and social class. His Comedy Central special Imperfect Messenger is a masterclass in using comedy not just to entertain but to unify and spark meaningful conversation. In this episode, we discuss the challenges of critiquing the Black community, his commitment to pulling no punches when performing in front of powerful politicians, and why he sees Jack Bauer from 24 as the perfect metaphor for navigating the entertainment industry.
