Roy Wood Jr. has been named the new host of Comedy Central’s wild storytelling series, This Is Not Happening, which will film its fourth season this weekend in Hollywood for a fall premiere on Comedy Central. Comedians scheduled to perform during the upcoming season include Louie Anderson, Sandra Bernhard, Drew Carey, Tommy Chong, Tiffany Haddish, Darrell Hammond, Lil Rel Howery, Talib Kweli, Al Madrigal, Howie Mandel, Kevin Smith and Scott Thompson, among many others.
In 2015, Wood Jr. became a part of “The Best F#@ing News Team” as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. He has been described by The Hollywood Reporter as “A standout,” and Entertainment Weekly called his brand of thought provoking comedy as “charismatic crankiness.” In 2016, Variety named him one of “10 Comics to Watch.” He filmed his first one-hour stand-up special, Roy Wood Jr.: Father Figure, at Center Stage in Atlanta, which premiered on Comedy Central on February 19.
