Y’all already know that I go hard for comedian Roy Wood Jr. I know most of y’all are thinking “Who is Roy Wood Jr.?” He’s the dude from “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” with all the hilarious commentaries. You know what, nevermind with me trying to make y’all know him. You don’t have to be a brand name top billed arena selling comedy superstar in my book to make me laugh – and dude is funny. He’s so funny that when I heard he was headed back to the Funny Bone last weekend, I braved that lowkey tsunami to catch a cackle from him. I wish I could say he was as funny as he was last year, but I can’t. In 2017, I thought I was gonna need a nebulizer after the way he had me hollering. I’m going to assume he was testing new material – and since St. Louis is the Litmus test when it comes to comedy. Most jokes worked, but a few didn’t. He did have me weak when he was talking about how McDonald’s is the master of delicious mystery food – especially about how we still go crazy when the McRib returns to the menu, even though it’s made of squirrel meat.
