Theres something about Roy. He makes me wanna laugh before he even opens his mouth. He always seems to be amused and about to burst into laughter. Love this guy!

"G is for God damn, that is smooth..."

Well, can't argue with that Roy.

The joke explaining the reason why Gospel singers dance with their hands up hit me harder than I expected 😂

[johnnycreditcard]

can we just take a minute to acknowledge the greatness of this segment

[moribund]

Just read a short biography of Denver Ferguson, the inventor of Chitlin’ Circuit theaters.
That would actually make a good HBO show. ^^

On the one hand, I wish Roy had a full length show like this. On the other hand, these are always the perfect length.

Glad I caught this to start my day off. I needed that laugh.

We had friends in Oakland, CA who were always late to any event we invited them to and when I asked them why, they told me, "We on CP time." That's when I learned what that meant.
