Roy Wood Jr.’s comedy has entertained millions across stage, television and film in addition to producing, acting and three one-hour comedy specials. Roy uses his tenure on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and the show’s brand of satire to shed a light on serious issues like Chicago gun violence, police reform, LGBTQ+ discrimination, ICE deportations and PTSD in the black community.
When Roy isn’t working as a correspondent for The Daily Show, he’s the host of the podcasts Beyond The Scenes from The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and Roy’s Job Fair.
He also recently appeared in a guest-starring role on the AMC series Better Call Saul and alongside Steve Martin & Martin Short in Only Murders In The Building.

The Trap Nerds Podcast
Trap Nerds really lives up to its name – letting listeners nerd out over a range of topics like comic books, Anime, sci-fi, and more. Very fun and important listening for a former Jedi such as myself.

Gettin’ Better with Ron Funches
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m all about trying to make sense of the world around me, and maybe make it better! Ron is also doing the work on Gettin’ Better – from interviewing equally insightful people, to diving into his own self-improvement journey. It’s a must-listen.

The Last Laugh
As the name might suggest, this podcast is essential for any fan of comedy. I love Matt’s interview style as he gives listeners stripped-down conversations with the world’s biggest comedians.

Nothing Personal with David Samson
If you love sports, why not hear about them from someone with over 18 years of experience in the biz? World Series Ring holder David Samson just might know everything going on with the sport of baseball, and breaks it all down beautifully. Sampson has even stopped by for an episode of Roy’s Job Fair. (Go Cubs!)

Naked with Cari Champion
This show is where my love of sports and people getting real collide. Cari dives into life-changing moments with her guests. Hearing these sports heroes be able to be so vulnerable (aka “naked”) really blows my mind.

The Sporkful
This podcast is like the audio version of a great meal. It has something for everyone when it comes to chatting about food. Dan Pashman hosts conversations with chefs and fellow food experts, he even takes invents of a new pasta shape – no big deal!

Good One: A Podcast About Jokes
This was an easy addition to this list because Jesse has let me be a guest on Good One 5 times. But seriously – for all lovers of comedy, this is like a masterclass on what makes a great joke. It really is a good one.

Jill Scott Presents: J.ill the Podcast
The description for this one says it all: This podcast is like chillin’ with that friend who says what everyone wants to say but is too afraid to – times three. It’s a blast.
