Roy Wood Jr. Doesn't Know Either

ROY WOOD JR. is loading up a cart at the Home Depot on West 23rd Street. The 44-year-old comedian just bought an apartment in Manhattan—the first place he’s owned—so he wanted to spend the morning running errands. Wandering the aisles, he picks up a box of trash bags, pauses over the detergent, selects paint samples. This is Wood’s preferred Home Depot thanks to a paint department he feels is on the ball. What's up, man? I’m back,” he says to an employee as he strolls up to the counter with his color choices— several grays and a few sharp blues.
