Roy Wood Jr. on ‘Lonely Flowers’ and ‘Have I Got News for You’

Larry is joined by actor and comedian Roy Wood Jr. and they begin their conversation by acknowledging Black History Month. Roy then breaks down his new CNN show Have I Got News for You and opines on whether or not comedic “bubbles” will last under the new Trump administration (5:41). They then pivot to his recently released stand-up special on Hulu, Lonely Flowers, and examine the different ways some of their favorite comedians navigate performing darker or more emotional comedic material (20:51). Roy ends the pod sharing his love for Alabama and shining a light on the importance of community (52:37).
