Hudlin and Phillips have a longstanding relationship with Global Road unscripted and alternative president Phil Gurin, having produced the NAACP Image Awards with him for the last five years.
“Reggie and Byron are not only great creative thinkers, they bring a wide range of skills, interests and relationships to tap into for content creation,” Gurin said. “Through this relationship we hope to identify comedy, reality, factual, live events and documentary projects with a unique voice and a global appeal. Plus, they are great guys and I have loved working with them over the years as we have together produced the annual NAACP Image Awards telecast. I am excited to see what they come up with!”
A writer, director, and producer, Hudlin’s credits include “The Bondocks,” “The Bernie Mac Show,” Fox’s “Showtime at the Apollo” specials, and Marvel’s “Black Panther” animated series, as well as the films “Django Unhcained” and “Marshall.” He also produced the 88th Academy Awards hosted by Chris Rock in 2016.
“It’s been a pleasure working with Phil for the past five years on the NAACP Image Awards,” Hudlin said. “Expanding our working relationship is a natural extension of our relationship and his position at Global Road.”

One comedian’s brilliantly passive-agressive battle with a Fox News fan
A must-do power move if you ever find yourself seated next to a person on a plane who’s watching Fox
by RACHEL LEAH
Comedian and “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” correspondent Roy Wood Jr. had the best response to a woman sitting next to him on a flight who was watching Fox News. “Lady on my flight is watching FOX News,” he tweeted Thursday. “so for balance, I turned on the Thurgood Marshall movie.”
The replies to Wood turing on “Marshal,” the 2017 biopic about the civil-rights advocate, lawyer and first black Supreme Court Justice, were equally great. “Power move. In her mind you basically punched her,” fellow comedy writer Travon Free said.
“In her mind she’s like ‘Wait they have Get Out on this flight?'” writer and producer Ian Berger replied. Miles Kahn, executive producer for “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” said, “In her mind she’s like ‘I can’t believe I’m sitting next to Kenan Thompson.'”
But Roy Wood Jr. didn’t stop there. In a follow-up tweet, he said, “Finished my civil rights movie and decided to turn up the pressure. Shit just got real,” and tweeted a picture of him watching “The Daily Show”.
Last year, “The Daily Show” correspondent premiered his first stand-up special on Comedy Central titled “Father Figure.” In 2017, he was also named the host for Comedy Central’s forth season of its storytelling series, “This is Not Happening.”
Prior to his residency at “The Daily Show,” Wood Jr. starred in three seasons of TBS’ “Sullivan & Son.” He’s made appearances on nearly every late night show, including his 2006 network television debut in on “The Late Show with David Letterman” and at set on the historic “Def Comedy Jam” in 2008.
