    I wonder if it’s just bad direction? Wayne Brady is one of the funniest people I’ve seen on TV - but I haven’t seen him hosting anything. So it can’t be him. It has to be someone directing him.

      He has a certain energy. I’d call it smooth energy.

      It’s fantastic, but smooth energy doesn’t work for game shows.

      Yeah, he was really funny on Whose Line, but wow is he awful as a game show host. I don’t know why, but he is terrible.

      Agreed. He can sing jokes on the spot and dance anyone into a corner if left to his own devices. Bad acting isn’t coming from him. It would have to be stamped out by someone else
