Show Notes
Roy Wood Jr. joins Mark and Sam for a killer episode packed with road stories, comedy history, and hard-earned wisdom. The guys swap tales about bombing on Star Search, opening for Ron White, taking a private jet with Adam Sandler, and what really happens when you accidentally use the headliner’s bathroom. Roy breaks down life after The Daily Show, the future of stand-up specials, and lessons learned from his dad, his peers, and decades in the game.
