One of the delights of Trevor Noah's stint as Daily Show host was the prominent work of correspondent Roy Wood Jr., a comic who started his career making prank phone calls and who has risen to host his own CNN news quiz, as well as becoming a top standup draw and award show host. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Roy's dad was a black radio pioneer and broadcasting entrepreneur. So it was no surprise that Roy would take up the family trade starting out as part of a Morning Zoo show in Birmingham. Over time Roy gained visibility, especially after a 2010 stint on Last Comic Standing. In 2015 Roy was tapped as a Daily Show correspondent and his chemistry with Trevor Noah was a highlight of the show, which was a perfect showcase for Roy's comedy style which Entertainment Weekly called "charismatic crankiness." When Trevor Noah departed the Daily Show it looked for a time that Roy might get the nod but when that didn't happen Roy pivoted and became host of Have I Got News for You -- a CNN adaptation of a British news quiz with comedians making up the panel. That show, award show hosting gigs, and sold out comedy tours keep Roy busy these days. And if you ever need help getting more sauce for your chicken nuggets Roy is your man -- it's all explained in this week's show. As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows.

For a guy whose sitcom was called "Get a Life", we think that Chris Elliott has done pretty darn well. The son of legendary comedian Bob Elliott (of Bob and Ray fame), Chris has carved out his own niche playing slightly surreal and snarky characters. Beginning on Late Night with David Letterman, Chris was the focus of many recurring gags including him being a guy who lives under the theater seats. But he was above ground in the Fox sitcom Get A Life, playing an oblivious man-child who lives above his parents' garage. With movie roles including Cabin Boy and Groundhog Day plus recurring tv gigs including Everybody Loves Raymond and Schitt's Creek, Chris is staying plenty busy flying the Elliott comedy flag. And, oh yes, for those scoring at home Abby Elliott of the hit show The Bear is his daughter. Not bad for a guy who most of us first discovered living under David Letterman's seats. As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows!

Cabin Boy saw Chris make the leap to the big screen, though the movie didn't score with critics or mainstream moviegoers. It still retains a cult audience thanks to weird scenes like this. https://youtu.be/UFcc1rf4NiU?si=lnHjVvV6l-fpJpm7

Chris was a regular on Late Night with David Letterman playing many oddball roles. Here is where they introduce Dave to the "guy under the seats." https://youtu.be/VB7h8D8fZPc?si=rF-nMPFm5RbTCsQS

Chris starred in Get A Life, an edgy comedy in which he played an oblivious man-child who lives about his parents' garage. And for bonus points, his TV dad is played by his real dad, comedy legend Bob Elliott. https://youtu.be/IQv_Ol5QxEg?si=bw6WjyxeYT15g1HK

Chris Elliott's latest triumph is a spin as Roland Schitt, mayor of Schitt's Creek and foil to Eugene Levy's Johnny Rose. Here's a fun clip of Chris in "inaction". https://youtu.be/AWzRgDPDC6M?si=wCjf5jvdC9NW8Gq4
