Roy Wood Jr. made sure to cite Herschel Walker, the GOP candidate for a US Senate seat in Georgia, as the source for his comedy routine in New York City on Wednesday.
“The Daily Show” correspondent used Walker’s bizarre speech as Republicans prepare to face off against Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in next month’s election. Walker reflected on the horror film “Fright Night” and how it showed him that “a werewolf can kill a vampire.”
“So I don’t want to be a vampire anymore. I want to be a werewolf,” said the former soccer star.
Wood shared a clip of the speech on Twitter on Wednesday and said he would “pay a minimum of $25 and two drinks” to watch an hour of Walker’s material at a comedy club.
He then put his review to the test at an “Underground Overground Comedy” event at Katz’s Delicatessen in New York City.
He recited Walker’s “vampire” catchphrase, resulting in much laughter, before revealing the source.
“The man has a future in comedy,” Wood later wrote, along with a clip of the routine.
