Wayne Brady

Wayne Brady is an American entertainer known for his quick wit and improvisational comedy skills, particularly from his appearances on the television show *Whose Line Is It Anyway?* He has also hosted game shows including *Let's Make a Deal* and won Emmy Awards for his versatility as a performer.

The phrase going Wayne Brady entered slang after a memorable *Chappelle's Show* sketch that played against his wholesome image.
