In this week’s episode of Whiskey Ginger, Andrew Santino sits down with Roy Wood Jr. to talk about his new special “Imperfect Messenger.” The duo chats about beef in the business, him finding his ancestor’s slave owner’s decedents, and the balance of testing material in different political markets to find that sweet spot that Roy does so well.

In this latest comedy special, Wood bounces around the lighter issues affecting our society like police reform, prison reform, the Capitol Riots, Black Brits in civil rights movies, white allies, and of course, Brazilian butt lifts. His previous specials for Comedy Central include Roy Wood Jr.: No One Loves You and Roy Wood Jr.: Father Figure.

Roy Wood Jr.: Imperfect Messenger was produced in partnership with Bob Bain Productions. Roy Wood Jr., Bob Bain, and Mainstay Entertainment’s Norm Aladjem, Derek Van Pelt serve as Executive Producers. Ryan Moran is the Executive Producer with Fazeela Shaikh as Supervising Producer for MTV Entertainment Studios.

Roy Wood Jr.’s comedy has entertained millions across stage, television, and radio.
