North carolina deny service gay roy wood jordan klepper
I love The Daily Show. I think there are a lot of unanswered questions over at The Daily Show. The tour also comes at a time when both Klepper and Wood are trying to figure out what role they will play in the future of The Daily Show and political late-night TV more broadly.
But I think when you look at the issue of integrity within that chair, and what Jon Stewart built, and what Trevor built, I completely understand why there would be people who would not want to see Hasan in that seat. On Hasan Minhaj reportedly losing the host job after allegations of lying on stage.
Roy Wood, Jr. and Jordan Klepper set up a fake food truck and arbitrarily deny service in the name of North Carolina’s anti-LGBTQ HB2 law. I just wish there was a deeper analysis into why that all came about.

So, Roy Wood, Jr. and fellow correspondent Jordan Klepper decided to rent a food truck and create a fake barbecue company called Bone Brothers Flamin’ BBQ to show what HB2 is like in action in Raleigh, North Carolina.
I love the job of correspondent. It was in their very first field piece on the show that a white cop used the N-word in front of Wood 10 minutes into what was supposed to be an hour-long interview. Donald Trump rematch nobody seems to want.

Why Roy Wood Jr. So to me, leaving the show was more about creative self-preservation. It could very well be with The Daily Show. We get to work with wonderful people. The question that was never brought up was like, why now, why is this article being written now and then?
In a sketch for "The Daily Show" Roy Wood Jr. and Jordan Klepper highlight the absurdity of North Carolina's HB2. | Comedy Central. And looking back on it now, a couple of months later, I feel comfortable with that decision. And I get why that scared Comedy Central away from him.
