The Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr. has a new fan in Kellyanne Conway .

In the latest episode of the Comedy Central programs Beyond the Scenes podcast, Wood said the former Donald Trump adviser approached him at the CBS party following his set at the White House Correspondents Association dinner on Saturday and told him how much she loved his jokes.

I dont know whether thats success or failure, said Wood.

The comedian recalled being shocked by Conways comments but joked they could be the bridge we need to bring the correspondents dinner back to being a beautiful bipartisan evening of roasting.

Wood and Christiana Mbakwe-Medina, Felonious Munk and David Angelo (three members of the writing team that worked on Woods remarks at the dinner) talked elsewhere in the episode about the Kanye West joke that got cut, the line that went awry, the comedians freestyled ding at President Joe Biden , and how they messaged Wood in real time with information that he then used onstage.
