Roy joins me to peel back the curtains on a career that's had us laughing all the way from comedy clubs to The Daily Show. Sit back and absorb the anecdotes of our shared history, from the heartfelt care package he sent during my deployment to his unforgettable stint at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Roy's narrative isn't just a series of punchlines – it's a masterclass in the resilience and connection that defines the comedy landscape.

Quotes by Roy Wood Jr. :
“Failure hurts, but failure is where the lessons are learned.”
“There’s no such things as failures, only lessons. Failure is one of the best educators.”
“You are who you are on the road, that is the truest version of yourself and psyche.”
“Don't be afraid to take chances, no fear.”
