Spotlight: Millions of people have gotten to know Roy as the host of CNN's "Have I Got News For You" and for his work on “The Daily Show.” Millions more remember his appearances on "Better Call Saul," "Only Murders In the Building" and more. But long before those gigs, Roy was known as a beast on the stand-up circuit – someone who was cracking up audiences coast to coast.
