    Good for him. That said, he is the most low-energy game show host I have ever seen. When my daughter was first born, we didn’t have much to do, so we would watch daytime TV and his hosting on Let’s Make a Deal is just terrible (if he’s still doing it). It sounded like he was bored and didn’t want to be there every episode.

    Sorry, I had to rant about Wayne Brady for a second.

      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.

        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.

      I saw one episode, but now that you mention it, yeah that’s the vibe I got as well. It felt like he was trying to emulate Howie, but it might have just been really boring.
