Jump Out or Get Pushed? (with Roy Wood Jr.)
Listen now
Description
When Roy Wood Jr. was arrested for stealing a credit card at 19 years old, he thought his life was over. While awaiting his sentencing and with nothing to lose, he decided to finally try standup comedy. He was a natural, and when the judge decided to give him probation over prison, he decided to pursue comedy for real. Roy talks about learning how to perform in the South, why he’d rather jump out of a window than be pushed, and his big decision to leave The Daily Show.  Follow Roy Wood Jr. @roywoodjr on Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter).
