If you’ve missed seeing Roy Wood Jr. on television, the wait will soon be over. Ian Hislop and Paul Merton are team captains for the BBC version, and Wood will be joined by two team captains for the CNN version, with names TBA. He served as one of the guest hosts for the series on Comedy Central in April 2023, after host Trevor Noah made an exit in 2022. His father, Roy Wood Sr. (1915-1995), was a radio and TV journalist who covered the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War and more. The narrative series from National Public Radio and Major League Baseball spanned five episodes, late May through mid-July.
