"Don't groan...pass legislation," was the best line of the evening.
Also the hey look it's a Chinese spy balloon
Yes...I full agree
I dug "We can all see Clarence Thomas, but he's owned by Harlan Crowe. That's an NFT"
Pass legislation to guard our schools like we do our banks and airports.
@@winser21 how about removing weapons of war off the streets. 🤦🏾♀️
That Clarence Thomas NFT joke was incredible.
I was thinking the same thing. Absolutely brilliant on multiple levels.
oh totally.. I wonder how many clarence thomas nft memes have been made since this joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
✅️
cut really deep that one.
It's sure to stick to Thomas
Roy killed it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 what a moving tribute to his mom & dad in journalism.
He killed it all right...he's killing journalism by celebrating ending free speech of journalists.
It's Roy Woods Jr
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and hope God bless you have a great day ahead of you I’m Richard by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from???
Roy Woods Jr is okay with child grooming. He is one himself. He emmited those vibes when he brushed off drag queens grooming children as no big deal!
Yes he did indeed very moving
We are still losing them the eyes and voices of truth ❤🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇪💙😊
He had a very good set. Played to the audience and got laughs all across the board. I've never seen a comic interweave good storytelling, facts and humor all at the same time. Well done sir.
He did great, man. His parents are true heroes
Who's his parents?
@@davidalvarez7262 Watch the video and Roy will tell you about his parents.
Roy Wood Jr, is consistently funny AND topical, intelligent, and touching.
The GOP doesn't seem to have a sense of humor.
Here Here!
@@jefolson6989 Maybe, for the most part. But I did see Brian Raffensperger, Georgia Secretary of State, chuckling when Roy made the joke about the 4 hour later pot brownie, and the Georgia arraignment brownie being more ...... Brian is a GOP'er I can support,
@@sandraleigh4023 Correction: it's Brad Raffensperger. Thanks for your comment!
@@acricucci9760 Oops - late night fog. I live in Atlanta so I do know, and do not know where Brian came from!! I'm old too.....😆
Roy acknowledging and paying tribute to his Mom and Dad was very powerful and well deserved. Very impressive.
Yeah I have heard mix his dad in his comedy; but I never knew that what his dad did for a living. This was a great show better than most comedy shows I ever heard!!! Thanks again Roy Wood and the lady who invited him, I heard him say Tamara somebody!!! Great job!!! I almost feel like I been listening to MLK!!!
The United States has fallen into a trap, this is Ukraine, since 2008, corrupt officials from the United States began to bring dirty dollars into Ukraine, so that they could then take the laundered dollars back. But it did not go according to the plan of the United States, Russia intervened and prevented corrupt officials from the United States, corrupt officials, in order to save the situation, put Biden on the post of president of America, but again Russia prevented, starting its own in Ukraine in 2022. That's how corrupt officials do their dirty deeds through Biden...;
This man demonstrated free speech, and the president enjoyed it. Well done America!
and the president didnt have him “canceled”.
That is the luxury of democracy! I wish ours was more functional.
@@bovinityleak2066 I miss Mock the Week so much (already).
He would have been cancelled if they knew all wat he would say...boi exposed media bias in handling trump and biden.he is got guts!
I remember his mother's sit-in at Delta State University. She risked her life so I could be a football star at Delta State two years later. My powerful sister.
He demonstrated LEFTIST free speech.
I was not super familiar with this person, but he has delivered the best monologue at Correspondence Dinners... in my opinion. I like that both Republicans and Democrats were laughing... and both Republicans and Democrats were frowning!!! Well done, Sir!
Outstanding.....truth is the light ....of the 🌎
Yeah cause joking about our children being groomed by drag queens is so hilarious when it's really happening. Our country is the laughing stock of the world.
I will definitely be watching it:)
They’re all great. He worked with Trevor Noah on TDS and they produced some great stuff,
Totally agree
Yeah this was one of the best correspondents speeches! He criticized and brought truth to power while making jokes! Great job Roy!!!
i agree with 110%
He might be the goat lol
Roy not pulling any punches and still telling important facts. Love it.

Roy up there setting these White people straight! 🤣
I love Roy, but he was not honest about why a lot of people are against CRT. The overwhelming majority of people who are against CRT aren't against teaching black history, including the horrors of slavery. They are against splitting elementary school children up into groups and telling some of them that they are evil oppressors and others that they are perpetual victims. They also disagree with the notion that the only cure for past discrimination is present discrimination. Mainstream media loves to misrepresent this.
@@Piggyn this is not true I’m sorry you think this.
@@kellyreilly-robinson2130 You need to talk to more people and not assume that everyone thinks like the people the media cherry picks.
“I’m like Mitch McConnell …I ain’t got no soul” 😂😂😂
👌🏾😂
@@pjay628 BARZ😁
Haha lol
Best ever balance of thoughtfulness and humour at one of these WH corespondents dinner so far.
Totally agree! Genuinely well done.
How many have you watched?
I'm confused, what was so special? It was good but not stellar. I get the impression that you are young and have only watched the last two or so. This guy was a "conformist" and in no way broke any barriers. In the past, there were people who obliterated party lines and totally stepped out of line.
I Agree!
@@g4l430 I’m 62. I think I’ve watched most of these presentations. I think Roy Wood, Jr. knocked it out of the park.
He said " Im like Mitch McConnal, I have no soul". Classic😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
So many clever jokes but the way he wrapped up Clarence Thomas back to the NFT was fantastic.
I liked the Toobin joke 😂. And I like Jeffrey Toobin.
What a beautiful tribute Roy did for his mother.❤
Big Roy Wood Jr. fan here. This was funny AND brilliant.
So, totally agree. This was balanced. Loved it, wholeheartedly!
Glad you can laugh about the downfall of the United States of America
@@sliceoflife3955 Apparently, you think the United States of America is so weak that my "laugh" (and, by the way, love of it) needs defending. I can laugh about it because I believe it's pretty much bullet-proof; that is except for school shootings with assault rifles by teenagers and lunatics.
Birmingham Alabama own Roy Woods Jr.
😂😂 . We're so proud of you, my guy. You did a great job.
Yes, Roy!! Yes!! Well done with dignity, grace, and intellect.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and hope God bless you have a great day ahead of you I’m Richard by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from???
@@RichardClarke-pg7hs Please troll for girlfriends elsewhere. Thank you.
lol srsly wtf 😂
So true. Conspiracy theories are free so they can proliferate quickly and widely. When truthful journalism is behind a pay wall, how can you counter misinformation?
Nobody questioned vice president job until a woman got the job. Great job Roy!!
I'm from California a Oakland native 69 Black female and I have always questioned Fake as Harris...
Facts tho 😂🫡
Well done. Class act. Hit on the critical topics. Not mean spirited. Held up a higher standard for us all. Good luck to you, sir.
I expected this to be funny, and it didn't disappoint. I wasn't prepared for it to be so moving. Gotta go find some tissues, and thank you Roy Wood Jr.
The stenographer whores clapped.
Roy Wood did a great job. Some of his jokes didn't get the response they deserved, but that has to do with the audience. He had me laughing throughout his full set.
Some people seemed to shut down their laughter when they realised they were on camera, probably fearing consequences
Me too he had me laughing through out his whole show. Great job I say again!!!!
The United States has fallen into a trap, this is Ukraine, since 2008, corrupt officials from the United States began to bring dirty dollars into Ukraine, so that they could then take the laundered dollars back.

That shows the lack of knowledge, truth, exposure to facts, history. As Roy said, some don't even know what NFT or CRT means. Roy's speech was the bomb!
Me too, my stomach hurt, I almost pee’d on myself and scared my kids laughing so hard and loud! 😂😂😂
To be able to speak about your parents and strangers react that way must be really hard not to brake down and cry...big ups to Roy
Roy Wood Jr Knocked it out of the Park !
Took a swing, didn't miss.
"don't groan, pass legislation"
Blew my mind away. The best monologue given. Truly captured the state of being in America; hilarious; truthful; sincere; and the delivery was personable and entertaining. So smart and funny! ❤
Might not be known to many but Roy did a good job, dude is hilarious
He's THE BEST!!
Thoughtful, thought provoking, insightful and funny
I laughed at nothing he said
He is great
@@JG-yc2fr we are sorry for your non existent sense of humor …. No we don’t care.
Roy, you stood flatfooted and and told it!! Proud of you!!
Roy's joke about attempts to cancel CRT is the best definition I've heard yet.
It was inaccurate.
@@dimitar297it’s not though, it truly is an attempt to remove historical accounts of injustices suffered at the hands of blacks, and even Nativee Americans. You know how many history books now teach that the Natives simply shared the land with the settlers, and remove any shred of the battles fought between Natives and settlers. It removes the portions of American history that some would like to forget, but for those affected it’ll never be forgotten. They want race to a new a topic of discussion that disappears, because they want it to stop being a societal issue but that’s not how you resolve racism.
@@martygene nope. CRT is anti-white propaganda. Like BLM it's just a grift.
@@dimitar297 Take several seats because your ignorance is embarrassing.
@@dimitar297 What exactly is CRT then?
Roy, You gave me laughter, joy and pride on a bleary Sunday here in New England. WOOF!
Very talented and extraordinary on the way he weaves his humor and events together
Major points - NFT, CRT, VP not getting credit, JOURNALISM, CREDIT TO HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, SO MANY THINGS, GREAT JOB ROY!!
I do not have cable tv. I had never heard of Roy Wood, Jr., before this monologue. Super funny! Super intelligent and poised! Edgy at the right moments. Truthful throughout. Great job!
Roy Wood Jr. is so great! He's a very thoughtful and intelligent person who just happens to be a hilarious comedian as well. His podcast Beyond the Scenes is so good.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and hope God bless you have a great day ahead of you I’m Richard by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
@@RichardClarke-pg7hs Please troll for girlfriends elsewhere. Thank you.
yasss Ray Wood! Mixes teaching w comedy for the paps and the pols. Just what they need.
The NFT joke was top tier. Mic drop, mouth open, very high level. 😂 didn’t know Roy had it in him. Unforgettable.
Funny at so many levels and with gravitas at the end. So much truth in many flavors. Great job Roy Wood Jr.!
The Biden jokes hit hilariously funny 😅
I don’t think pedophiles should be treated this well. Just me.
School shooting joke had the room in shambles 😂😂
"let all the kids be corrupted by perverted he/she's because they go na be shot anyway!"
@@samhandwich466 corrupted by he/she's? You're a bigot
I guess that joke will always be " too soon"
@@jefolson6989 just poor taste not even funny, nothing to joke about. These "drag queens" should not be near children or schools in general. These people are mentally ill and should be institutionalized.
I hollered!!!
My favorite joke was about President Biden being highly efficient in between naps
Hahahaha
Agreed 👍🏽💯😅
Love his speech! Especially his remarks about news paywalls.
Yep, should have name drop'd a few such as Reuters and Washington Post.
This may have been the best correspondence dinner speech I’ve heard. Great job Roy!
RWJ absolutely knocked it out of the park. Gotta love bonus standup from Roy
People in the audience take themselves a little to seriously, don't they? EXCELLENT job Roy!!
Too much on the nose truth for them to laugh in good conscience.
Roy was HILARIOUS!!!! Great job 👏 👏
Finally, our country has a president we can laugh with instead of laughed at.
What the hell do you mean? The United States is the laughing stock of the world and nobody that isn't paid is laughing with Biden they're laughing at Biden. You must be as delusional as our president with dementia.
Never had a president easier to ridicule and laugh at in history.
What,???😂
@@samhandwich466 Trump makes it easy to be laughed at in written history too? A comedy parody movie will likely be made about him some day. He’s been a fodder for jokes on the night shows for quite some time,
Hahahahah bro are you kidding me, those jobs he supposedly crated were jobs that were had already. He just stopped them. Biden had made us look weak among the world. Look at what's going on with the dollar look at what's going on with woke military
I just keep wanting to hit the "like" button again and again and again. Great job, Roy!
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and hope God bless you have a great day ahead of you I’m Richard by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
@@RichardClarke-pg7hs Please troll for girlfriends elsewhere. Thank you.
If he gets to host the daily show every night, I would definitely watch.
so true ... truth lives on ... thank you Sir Roy Wood Jr., thank you.

Roy Wood Jr's always been incitefully hilarious. His stock has deservedly gone through the roof 👏
Fantastic job! And what a background his father has in journalism and his mothers experience with education that informs what Roy thinks and does!
Absolutely killed it. Cringe, cleaver, witty, truthful, and funny!
Smart, funny, thoughtful and current
Love the comments about his mother. Beautiful

This was just fantastic! Roy, you did your thing my man! 👏🏾
This was great, the George Santos joke was perfect, America can laugh again, at herself. 😊
He Killed it in every way imaginable, My Respects to him
So many great jokes directly connected to real life stories… And Roy’s family background is phenomenal which clearly explains his level of intellect.
Intellect but with involvement. Or put another way, engaged and genuine. He poked fun from the inside and outside, with insight from both angles.
14:19 the “Clarence Thomas NFT” bit killed me!!
Roy wood jr. has amazing parents. It’s no wonder who they produced is gold…
Roy Wood Jr.'s best performance ever. Well done Roy!
Roy is a funny guy and his tribute to his parents was touching. I appreciated his mentioning local journalists reporting on stories which become national stories and an important part of history. I'm 75 & began a 40+ year broadcasting career with a job in news radio. Roy was right about news reporting sometimes costing your job or even your life. My respect to journalists who are dogged in their pursuit of truth.
Roy Wood swinging from start to finish!
Nobody asked what does the vice president does until a woman got the job." OMFG that was savage!
😂😂😂😂 Fantastic job Roy Wood Jr!!!! I know Trevor is somewhere right now cheering and hooping and hollering like thats my boy lol! 😂😂😂😂
The audience faces are killing me, I'm laughing so hard!!! He did an awesome job!
That was a brilliant speech! The humor, the heart and hope journalism fit into the histories of his illustrious parents. We got so much of what we needed to hear in this speech. Maybe the best Correspondents' Dinner Speech I've ever heard. Hit all the marks and was insightful and hilarious ❤️🤎💯🔥🔥
Roy did a great job as temporary host for The Daily Show... I'd love to see him take over the desk permanently.
Go Roy! Daily Show delivers their best.
The whole bit about Trump's scandals ... *chef's kiss*
You probably brought out the lube🥴
Love Roy, love that he came to Atlanta. Love the message!
Roy Wood Jr.'s WHCD set is greatness destined for the history books.
B I R M I N G H A M,
A L A B A M A, ! ! ! ! !
is in tha house ! ! !
Roy Woods Jr is very underrated as a comedian but now the whole country and the world will recognize this funny and talented man.
Outstanding performance,
My good Sir! 👏👏👏👊👊👊
Killed it!! 🎉🎉
“You Vice President(ed) incorrectly”. 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
"Don't groan pass legislation" Roy Wood Jr.
WORD!
Roy Wood Jr is one of the most underrated comedians working today. Always delivers regardless if it’s a Daily Show story, MCing the Correspondents dinner or a new comedy special
He's in your face, he's getting it in.
Well done Roy. Hope you get the Daily Show gig. I do miss Trevor but have every confidence you are the right choice!
That was amazing!!! Perfect pick!
Splendid! So refreshing, and complete. Its my first to see this dude and what a delight
My dad is a Professor Emeritus which means he’s still teaching at 86! He’s a mathematical-physicist
I didn’t know who Roy Wood Jr. was, but I do now! Comedy Gold! And also very moving.
Best set of comedy and truth I’ve seen in a while.
That was a great performance with a message for anyone who cared to listen. Third time watching this, by the way. 😀
LOL i hav watched 3 times now also -- so damn good.
Roy Wood jr nailed it
Roy Wood Jr. tells the truth and nothing but the truth before the media and journalists.
Except the part about CRT.
You would not know the truth if it hit you in the face.
Let the truth speak. ❤
This clown is the joke !😂
@@dimitar297 what is CRT?🤣😂
Roy is killing it! It's funny how some of these people can't handle the truth!
Saw his Daily Show fill in, thought it's a crime if he doesn't get the hosting job. Saw this...funny, moving, intelligent, appreciative, loving, thoughtful...the complete package. And now I kind of wish he'd just run for President himself.
This was definitely a well done performance with class, humor, a history lesson nailed it perfectly!
I always enjoy Roy’s jokes and his insight in serious discussions. Roy nailed this correspondence speech. 🎉
Brilliantly shaped, tone and delivery spot on. Love how he emphasized and extolled the importance of honest, brave and rigorous journalism.
Roy was great . Topical funny and smart 😊👏🏽
I look forward to this every year. He did a great job, not a vicious as I like but funny.
Where are you? 👀
@@pjay628 sitting on a beach, earning 20% 💰 ✈️ 🏝️
Don't groan, pass legislation!
This man is an actual genius. He should be president
Already got a comedian in that spot
Right now, he'd be happy to host The Daily Show. And after that performance, I think he should get the job!
@@bobert8618 right! Especially after we just got rid of a 🤡 and his whole republican circus act 😂😂🫡
We must share this video with everyone everywhere on all platforms frequently !
GOOD JOB ❤This is just wonderful!!! everyone should be ready to take the TRUTH, no matter HOW , WHEN or WHERE it comes💯💯💯💯💯
Roy is the truth!!
Brilliant! Clarence is a NFT. Does Ginni understand what they hath wrought???
