Whose Line Is It Anyway
Thursday, July 31st, 2008
Every famous personality has to start somewhere. For Wayne Brady, that somewhere was the British improvisation show Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
Whose Line Is It Anyway?, now several years canceled, was an improvisation comedy show that had four comedians performing a series of sketches for a live audience. Receiving suggestions form the audience the comedians would have to act out some ridiculous scene, ad libbing the entire time. The result was usually pretty funny.
Wayne Brady appeared in both the British and American versions of the show as a semi-regular. His specialty (not too surprising) was musical improvisation: among the other contestants he was the best singer, and usually the most successful in coming up with flowing lyrics that made sense and worked comically. He proved not quite as swift but still pretty good when it came to normal comic stylings, and was overall an excellent addition to the cast.
And, obviously, his prowess led to Brady landing plenty of other jobs in the entertainment business.
