Description

Is it better to resign or be fired? The former president of Viacom Music and Entertainment Group, Doug Herzog (host of the podcast 'Basic, When Cable Was Cool'), breaks down his experiences on both sides of that coin and how to preserve your reputation no matter which you decide. An architect of pop culture, Herzog also opens up about his early days at CNN & MTV before the rise of cable, his transition from Comedy Central, and what he sees as the future of television. The team digs into whether there's an ounce of legitimacy to award shows and how to say "No" to people on your team without hurting their feelings. In SCAM OF THE WEEK, Doug shares the story of how an assistant can scam your corporate card, and @Rod4Short pitches a sitcom reboot and circles back to two of his favorite topics - dogs and Roy building a luxury car by hand.Watch all Roy Wood Jr Comedy Specials NOW available on iTunes and streaming NOW on Paramount+ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Work is like sex or food — you’re either getting it or looking for it. Comedian Roy Wood Jr. (correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) explores the human condition every week through the prism of employment. Roy sits down with real people from ALL lines of work about their most memorable jobs, employment vacancies they're looking to fill, scams they've run at the office, and of course, the cringe-worthy office romances. Roy's famed humor is matched by his true empathy and curiosity for people. Join him on an entertaining exploration into the battle all of us fight every day. Balancing our need to provide with our need for emotional fulfillment. Learn from the people who got it right. Laugh with the rest of us, who constantly get it wrong. Welcome to the Job Fair.
