Wayne Brady is back

You do recall who Wayne Brady is right? If you don't you really should.

He is one of the most talented performers working today. While most have only seen him on television in re-runs of Whose Line Is It Anyway, it is that program that presents how diverse this entertainer is.





But don't think he is only a comedian. As the above skit presents, he can sing. So well in fact that he was nominated for a Grammy.



Brady has done Broadway, appeared on multiple television shows,and several movies as well. He is a great entertainer, in the old meaning of the term. He is not a superstar, he is not an idol or mega-actor. He just provides the audience a show worth watching. Which is rare these days.

In fact how many entertainers do you think could spontaneously break into song and sound half this good these days.



So he is back on television. But I think that the venue is truly a waste of his abilities. he will be showcasing the new Let's Make A Deal. A cute show for sure, and few can do it like Monty Hall, but hardly worth of the talent that Brady embodies.

Adding to the difficulty is the fact that this revamped prize show will be replacing Guiding Light. The soap opera has been running for 5 decades, and it's loss will definitely have some negative reaction. Which says nothing of the fact that this is CBS we are talking about.

Still anything that gets Wayne Brady more exposure makes me happy. Though I'd love to see him doing something more involved.

But if you think he doesn't realize the fickle nature of Hollywood, just watch this skit done after his talk show was canceled.
