Hey folks, it's Jesse. We're getting close to the end of the year. Maybe you're thinking about

gifts, you're getting your friends and family, maybe you're thinking about what causes you can

That means comedy from Cristella Alonso, Peat Homes, Ron Funches, Erica Roads, Roy Wood Jr.

So many more. You can't wait to share them with you. It's all coming up on Bullseye. Let's go.

Let's kick off this year's end of year stand-up comedy special with a favorite of our program,

Roy Wood Jr. Roy is of course one of the funniest correspondence on the daily show with Trevor Noah.

Basically any segment he is on is an all-timer. Before that, he was a successful radio DJ.

In Florida and Alabama, we talked a lot about that during his Bullseye interview a couple of years back.

Anyway, Roy's main bread and butter is stand-up comedy. His stand-up album from this year is called
