COMEDY CENTRAL ANNOUNCES TWO UPCOMING PROJECTS WITH "DAILY SHOW'S" ROY WOOD JR.

New podcast Roy's Job Fair to launch on March 17, produced in partnership with iHeartMedia

Third one-hour Comedy Central stand-up special slated to premiere in 2021

New York, March 10, 2021 - Comedy Central continues its long-standing relationship with uber talented Roy Wood Jr. and announced today a new podcast called Roy's Job Fair. Produced in partnership with iHeartMedia, the 40-episode series will debut on Wednesday, March 17 and rollout weekly.

In Roy's Job Fair, work is like sex or food - you're either getting it or looking for it. Roy Wood Jr. explores the human condition every week through the prism of employment. Roy sits down with real people from ALL lines of work about their most memorable jobs, employment vacancies they're looking to fill, scams they've run at the office, and of course, the cringe-worthy office romances.

Roy's famed humor is matched by his true empathy and curiosity for people. Join him on an entertaining exploration into the battle all of us fight every day. Balancing our need to provide with our need for emotional fulfillment. Learn from the people who got it right. Laugh with the rest of us who constantly get it wrong. Welcome to the Job Fair. Listen to the trailer HERE.

Additionally, Comedy Central will produce and air Roy's third one-hour stand-up special this year. His second special, No One Loves You, premiered as part of Comedy Central's Stand-Up Month in January 2019; the special remains the network's highest rated original stand-up premiere* since his February 2017 one-hour, Father Figure.

Roy Wood Jr.'s comedy has entertained millions across stage, television and radio. In addition to stand-up comedy, producing and acting, Roy is currently a correspondent on Comedy Central's Emmy and NAACP Award-winning The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. During his tenure, he has used The Daily Show's brand of satire to shed light on serious issues including gun violence, police reform, LGBTQ+ discrimination, ICE deportations and PTSD in the Black community. Roy's recent credits include guest starring roles in Netflix's comedy series Space Force, AMC's Better Call Saul, and The Last O.G. on TBS.

For Comedy Central, Roy is currently featured in the new digital docuseries Dark Humor, which spotlights Black stand-up comedians discussing their approach to comedy and sources of inspiration that speak to their unique experience. Roy created the digital series, Stand-Up Playback, in which he has fellow comics revisit vintage clips of them performing to see if their old jokes still hold up. He also wrote and starred in the original, digital series The Night Pigeon, the story of a black superhero with minimal powers fighting the biggest baddest gang in his community, The Gentrifiers. In 2017, he hosted the storytelling series, This Is Not Happening.

Roy is a graduate of the Florida A&M University with a B.S. in Broadcast Journalism. True to his roots, he is a strong and outspoken advocate for reshaping the image of Alabama and the American South as a whole. In 2018, he penned a New York Times piece on the subject. He is actively working with the Birmingham City Council and the Film Commission to bring more entertainment jobs to the state. During the pandemic, Roy has spent time raising money for the staff of his hometown comedy clubs in Alabama through tipyourwaitstaff.com and Laugh Aid. Roy is active on social media and can be followed on Twitter and Instagram @roywoodjr.

Roy's Job Fair is distributed through the iHeartPodcast Network and available on iHeartRadio and all major podcast platforms.

Wood is repped by WME, Mainstay Entertainment, and Del Shaw Moonves Tanaka Finkelstein & Lezcano.
