Roy Wood Jr.

Where are we going to hold the awards ceremony? What's it going to look like? All the stuff, right? But the primary thing was who was going to host.

So we would get together, have these meetings, bring all our ideas together, and then we would talk in turn and then essentially decide, oh, yes, we want Roy Wood Jr. to be the host.

And that was it.

But it was this kind of thing that you had to be invited to and then you had to get in there and have some pretty good ideas or you could just stay on mute and not say anything.

We do 10 questions.

You get to know them and you probably already know this guy because today, my guest on episode 28 of Tight 10 with Dave Dyer is Roy Wood Jr. He's a comedian.

He's an actor.

He's a writer.

He's been on only Murders in the Building, for God's sakes.

But I got to say, Roy, the thing that I'm most jealous of in all of your credits in 2021, you were a guest on one of the greatest shows ever of Finding Your Roots with Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr., which I absolutely love that show.

So, ladies and gentlemen, it's Roy Wood Jr. Hi, Roy.

How are you doing? How are you doing? I'm doing great.

It's my house, man.

Remember we talked about Roy Wood Jr.? A couple of months ago, we talked about black people can't tell you about no patriotic songs.

We can tell you that, you know, California is where the players play or Atlanta is where, you know, we can tell you plays have a good time in America, living in America, James Brown.

Even Ray Charles said Georgia, but he had Georgia on his mind.

When I was on Sullivan and Son, I had some of the funniest people in the world.

Vince Vaughn, Pete Billingsley, Steve Byrne, Ahmed Ahmed, Roy Wood Jr., Brian Doyle Murray, like all these guys.

We would just riff jokes.

And some of my stand-up would get elevated because someone had come up with another idea that I wasn't seeing.

You're just like...

Not that you have to shout it out, but if anyone brings it up, you're like, oh, yeah, dude.

Like, for example, Roy Wood Jr.

I was doing over the pants handjob in A and I kept like coming up with different locations for that closer I had that song.

Since this is a poop podcast, I was wondering if you heard about this.

Comedian Roy Wood Jr. said he used to bring generic shoes to work and change into them before taking a dump so nobody would know that it was him.

Wow.

And then it says, what's the craziest poop-related thing that you've done like that? I mean...
