A Conversation with Actor and Daily Show Correspondent Troy Iwata, Part 2


Listen Later

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 18! 

We’re back with Part two of A Conversation with Actor and Daily Show Correspondent Troy Iwata. This very talented singer and actor joined us last episode to talk about deciding on entertainment as his passion, performing on Broadway on Be More Chill, being on the feel good Netflix holiday series Dash & Lily, getting selected as a correspondent on The Daily Show, and so much more. 

In today’s episode, we continue the conversation with Troy to talk more about his experiences on The Daily Show, the collaborative nature of the correspondent segments, some of his memorable moments from the show, what’s coming up in his career, and more.

If you want to enjoy more of Troy’s work, then you can stream his latest film project, Summoning Sylvia, a queer-horror-comedy also starring Michael Urie, Frankie Grande, and several others. And of course you can catch Troy on the Daily Show, through his Instagram posts, and in this episode!
