Summary

Roy Wood Jr. takes a break from “Have I Got News for You” on CNN to stop by and break some bread with Tom Papa. In the true breaking bread spirit, Roy and Tom talk about how baking is the ultimate act of love… even when the baked goods come from a total stranger’s kitchen. The pair talk about women, families, good cigars, and how to steer clear of “spiritual experiences” that might be too intense. Roy talks about his dad, Roy Wood Sr., and his lasting impact on American civil rights and journalism. Roy speaks on his experience leaving The Daily Show and the pair discuss the state of politics in comedy.
