Roy Wood Jr. | I Am That Reporter with Jericka Duncan

In this episode of I Am That Reporter, ‪@CBSNews‬ National Correspondent and Weekend Anchor Jericka Duncan sits down for a wide-ranging conversation with comedian, actor and author ‪@RoyWoodJrOfficial‬, who many recognize from his days as a correspondent for ‪@TheDailyShow‬. These days he is the host of the satirical news panel show, Have I Got News For You (US) on ‪@CNN‬, while working on several other projects. The two discuss his career goals, the future of television news, and the importance of constantly creating content while simultaneously gaining the trust of an audience that has more choices than ever before. Roy argues that the future of journalism mirrors what's already happening in stand-up comedy — independent creators building audiences on their own terms, then leveraging that audience to negotiate with networks rather than waiting to be hired. Both agreed that live events: news, elections, sports, remain television's last truly irreplaceable asset.
