I'm bold with it.
I've always said Roy Wood Jr.
is the greatest storyteller that we witnessed.
Because of that, like you bring people into that space and you take them on that journey.
And you're so good to give the important detail and walk them through step by step, even on your comedy shows.
And that's why, again, you're my favorite comedian because of that.
Like when I'm watching a Roy Wood Jr.
I know he is going to make me feel like I'm his best friend and he's telling me this story and there's going to be funny parts to it.
There's going to be emotional parts to it.
But you are in so control and you don't rush.
And I think, you know, people hear comedic timing and they don't really understand what that truly means.
But you perfected that skill of telling a story and bringing someone along that journey without rushing the pace.
How did that become a skill set for you?
So my third hour special, Imperfect Messenger, which I did in 2021, backside of COVID, when it was letting like 50% capacity in rooms or whatever, that was the first time I really told a deeper, longer story on stage.
And just as part of a bigger bit, and I was just trying to tell a joke, but then the moment, the more I started constructing the joke,
I was like, damn, they really need to know this backstory.
And it's not really funny, but it'll help this.
And I was like, let's see if they go with me on it.
