❤ your work Roy. Please keep on keeping on. I’m so baffled why Comedy Central hasn’t rolled out the red carpet for you to the Daily Show’s anchor chair. Maybe you have better things are on your horizon.

I’m a foreigner. I don’t know this man’s work and as usual unpicking comedy is as dry as ditchwater. However, there is some essential information and wisdom here for all of us because the ignorance and arrogance of the American right threatens all of us and the death of democracy in America has a direct impact of our lives

I think you mean “it used to”. Because nowadays you can’t make a joke for fear of ending up in prison or worse.

What a fantastic interview ????
The vital oil in life is a sense of humor. The equipment squeaks &
moans without it.
Nothing about life is so
difficult or depressing, but it
does settle down before a
good laugh ????
