Comedian and actor Roy Wood Jr. is joining CNN for its U.S. remake of the British panel show “Have I Got News for You.”
Wood, 45, will host the quiz show-style format as a forum for comics, pundits and media personalities to satirize the issues of the day. The 10-week series will run Saturdays at 9 p.m. Eastern starting Sept. 14.
Wood was a fixture on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” from 2015 to 2023. The son of a journalist, he delivered the comic monologue at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in 2023.
Hat Trick Productions, which makes the British version of “Have I Got News for You” will produce the CNN adaptation.
