Roy actually lost his voice, but didn’t back out. The raspy tone actually gives many of his set-ups a little more gravitas, making for a fascinating and sharp Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner address (think of it as the JV squad to the White House Correspondents Dinner).
Watch Roy’s whole address here.
The RTCA Dinner, which is the Congressional equivalent of the much more well known White House Correspondents Dinner, just took place this week.
The Daily Show’s Hasan Minhaj was on hand to host and did a pretty swell job. Dropping the persona he has while on The Daily Show, Hasan balanced out a snappy barrage of jokes between Congress, media, and this year’s Presidential race with a very good chunk of sincerity.
If there’s anyone that looking to do a new satirical news show, it’s pretty clear to us that he could host his own show.
Please watch his entire monologue here.
