Funny You Should Mention - Episode 6 Roy Wood Jr.

Comedian Roy Wood Jr., host of CNN’s Have I Got News for You and former Daily Show correspondent, joins this episode of Funny You Should Mention. We delve into topics like a near-DUI incident in South Dakota, why the police should occasionally let a criminal go free, and the responsibility comedians have to challenge harmful political ideas—and the politicians who promote them. We also explore the surprising lessons humanity can learn from floating balls of ants and what it reveals when the premise of a joke is proven wrong.    SUBSCRIBE  We offer premium subscriptions, including an AD-FREE version of the show.    The Gist is produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara    Email us at [email protected]  Subscribe to The Gist’s YouTube Page  Follow Mikes Substack > Pesca Profundities  To advertise on the show, click here  Learn more about your ad choices.
