You're listening to Comedy Central. Hi, I'm Jordan Klepper. You're not gonna say my name? Was leaving it. That was a space for you to say your name. I'm Roy Wood Jr. We're gonna break down some of our classic field pieces that Jordan and I have done together in a segment we call We're gonna look at some of our old field pieces in a segment we call constructive instructive ish criticism. Are we settled on that name? It feels like it. So this is your first piece? Right? Yeah?

This piece was about anti biased training that was happening in Madison, Wisconsin and the way give them shooting an unarmed black person. So we decided to sit down with some cops to see why they're attack. We added a bit of choreography at the top. Can we rewind to the top. The choreography of the intro something not often done in daily show pieces. But I think the confidence of somebody who's been on the show before, doesn't have any other opportunity and is still on the show, someone

like myself look emerging and help you. You were just doing okay, and then I came in and just took it next level. Right there. Do that. That's Ernest, that's ernest confusion you have on your face right now. That's true because that was the first take and I did not know what you were gonna do. So we sat down with former NYPD detective and Fox News contributor bow Dieedle to get the definitive answer. There's a tough question to ask, bo our police racist. It's good enough for me.

I'm satisfied. We're good here. This guy was the work of art. But it was like, we need to talk to somebody who would support the police and show no empathy. It's like, well, what do we call up an old school New York police officer. Let's go get a black guy inbade him to debt. That's not what's going on there. I think I did pretty good, man. I sat down with a white dude to say some semi racist stuff and I held my own. Yeah, I mean, bow dieedle

x cop feels relevant. Still, I wasn't talking about Bo Dietle. Okay. Oh here's the guy that really made the piece. Perhaps the best voiceover joke written in the Daily Show. Not surprisingly, there's a program that Nerdy Suge Knight developed which trains police officers to de link bias from their decision making. Nerdy Suge Knight fucking nailed it. I remember earnestly this was your first piece, and you chose to have a tie that wasn't all the way up, and I wondered

if that was a stylistic choice. I didn't quite know if you were crafting a character. I think I've realized you don't put that much effort into your work, so it must have just been something you stomped upon that felt like a criticism and that it wasn't very constructive, contructive ish, this was not is now this is the video.

These are the sample of videos that you watch when you're trying to make a decision, of real life situations that test your ability to not act on assumptions of race that even a real bulletproof vest it does look like a pantilner for your chest. Empire joke coming up three two one, What are you doing? Bias? Ass that's empire? There was look a twenty minute conversation of okay, which black show could he point a gun at and not get canceled? I do believe Oprah was one of the options.

I think I shot down shooting down Oprah. Correct. I still stand by that was a smart call. So those are all actual officers UM of Madison p D. And the drill was for us to show up and decide what was happening with the information we had in hand. No matter what, you just would say the wrong thing is everything? Okay? In here? Excuse me? Get away from the woman, Get away from the woman. Dick down the ground, Diet doun on the ground, Diet doun on the ground.

Oh give you credit. This is your first piece, but you you knew how to cut it down with a look. You had a good TV look. I don't even think the faces him giving this piece or even acting at this point. I'm sorry about him. Office so product. If you look at that hairline, oh my god, how amazing. I'm like forty years younger, boy, handsome. Those are the eyes of someone who's never been to a Trump rally. The double chin is barely there, doesn't have to be

hidden by a beard. How do these pieces compare? You've had probably the most interesting evolution from correspondent to special contributor. Yeah, I mean it's interesting to look at it like that. Here's me doing a piece with another person fast forward to me doing a piece without another person and an Emmy nomination, and you try to connect those and I don't. I don't know. I don't know what it was. Why

do you have to see Emmy nomination? But I'm just saying, you know, they've tried this where two people do a piece, And what's fun about it is I have so much success when I just do a piece. Mad boys, Mad boys, What you're gonna do, What you're gonna do this shot. I was very nervous about you in the back of a police car, this whole pieces of black people getting sucked with the image of a black man boss. I was like, please, father, God, don't let me let down

all the black people and Gayle King? Do you think I let down white people doing this piece? Now you've probably gained something. That's probably why you're so safe. You think Trump rallies this ship. Find your audience, man, play to it. Well, you know what, man, it's been fun constructively criticizing you, and I got your gift. It's been a great seven years of working with you, and I just wanted you to have that. Look at this token of remembrance. This is our first shoot. Highly pixelated low

rez photo of our first time together. That's for you, I think, thank you. That's for you. I gotta gift for you. Okay, this is a picture from our first ever field shoot. God. Yeah, this is the picture of you. The Next Dame was the best ever doing Thanks man, you could have a least taken a stag off the back. Yeah you're wrong. What's the Daily Show?
