On Friday, Oct. 29, his , premieres on Comedy Central.<\/p>\n Apart from his Daily Show duties, Wood is an accomplished stand-up comic, with two previous one-hour specials under his belt: 2017’s Father Figure and 2019’s Noboby Loves You. He’s also an actor and has been on shows like Space Force, Better Call Saul and The Last OG. And he hosts two podcasts: and The Daily Show’s .<\/p>\n In an interview on <\/span>\u00a0podcast, Wood explained the overall theme of his Imperfect Messenger comedy special.<\/p>\n “In a sense it’s, ‘Here are some ideas that I have for everyone, but I’m probably not the right person to be saying all of them,'” he said. “I will acknowledge that I’m probably not the right person, and I’ve also done some dumb shit.”<\/p>\n You can pregame for Imperfect Messenger by\u00a0\u00a0(@roywoodjr). It’s there where he’s matter-of-fact, funny and a bit silly. He once did a series of shorts called The Coalition, which was a Sopranos-style show revolving around fast-food chicken sandwiches, animated by Wood. Each sandwich represented a different crime family, all of which conspired against Popeye’s. It’s obvious to say that Wood has a solid approach to his social media game.<\/p>\n With a new dealer infringing on their territory, The CSC (Chicken Sammich Coalition) looks for a way to slow Popeyes’ growth; As one member leaves The Coalition, an old foe returns.’The Coalition’ Tuesdays 10\/9c on UPN. <\/p>\n \u2014 Roy Wood Jr- Ex Jedi (@roywoodjr) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n <\/u><\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel(‘%c One Trust ‘, “Service loaded: script_twitterwidget with class optanon-category-5”);<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/figure>\n <\/i><\/u><\/p>\n “Social media is me, but only in my happiest and purest form. For the most part, if you go through my social media feed, I don’t express anger. I don’t express disappointment. I consider those emotions to be private. And so more often than not, I’m just not going to fucking talk about those things,” said Wood. “For the most part, social media for me is a place to unplug.”<\/p>\n<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<\/span><\/span>
