Full Wayne Brady Biography
Wayne Alphonso Brady (born June 2, 1972 in Orlando, Florida) is an Emmy-winning American comedian, singer and television personality, known for his role on the ABC television show Whose Line Is It Anyway? and for his daytime talk show, The Wayne Brady Show. He is now the host of Fox's Don't Forget the Lyrics!.
Wayne Brady has successfully carved out a career and public image through his various family-friendly projects and roles, and because of this, he has also sometimes been the subject of mocking satire and claims that he acts "too white".
In an episode of the Comedy Central series Chappelle's Show, cast member Paul Mooney mocked Brady in his "Negrodamus" sketch. In the sketch, Mooney's character "prophesied" that "White people love Wayne Brady, because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X"; a reference to the fact that many of Brady's fans are white Americans who enjoy the actor's family-friendly projects.
Show creator and star Dave Chappelle later called to apologize to Brady and offered him a guest spot on the show. In the episode, Brady is hired to host the series after Chappelle "quits" the series and later co-stars in a flashback sequence (which parodied the 2001 film Training Day), in which Wayne Brady reveals himself to be a violent, sociopathic pimp who torments Chappelle when the two spend the night together hanging out. Among the acts of depravity Brady commits is a drive-by shooting, the murder of a police officer, and forcing Chappelle to smoke PCP. Some of the lines from the sketch include Wayne Brady telling a prostitute who worked for him, "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?", "This is not an option nigga, if you do not smoke this then we have a problem." (to Chappelle in reference to the PCP), "I don't really give a fuck, they cancelled my show, and shit's going crazy" (after murdering a police officer who pulled him over), and, later, "I'm Wayne Brady, bitch!" (after shooting Dave Chappelle in the leg), a reference to Chappelle's Rick James catch phrase, "I'm Rick James, bitch!" |
