‘Daily Show’ Correspondent Roy Wood Jr. Signs With CAA (EXCLUSIVE)
BreAnna Bell Roy Wood Jr. has signed with CAA for representation, Variety has learned exclusively. Wood, best known for his role as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah,” is an Emmy Award-nominated documentary producer, comedian, writer, actor, radio personality and podcaster. The comedian was most recently seen starring opposite Jon Hamm in “Confess, Fletch,” which was released on Sept. 16. His other credits include Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building,” Netflix’s “Space Force,” AMC’s “Better Call Saul” and TBS’ ‘The Last O.G.” He executive produced PBS’ Emmy-nominated documentary “The Neutral Ground,” which followed the 2015 turmoil that ensued after the New Orleans City Council voted to remove four Confederate monuments from public grounds. A forceful group of critics protested the decision, and fearing retaliation, no crew agrees to remove the statues.
