Looked up to when you were definitely one of those. Wow how flattering that thank you and that means a lot to me geez. You know what i always did dig the action of crafting and stuff like that i remember seinfeld i said to jerry once years ago i said what. You know what are you doing the most and he loved the syllable county he loved getting the words right and he used to say that being a comedian is like sit my f. I sit and when the drip comes at you catch it before it goes down the drain most people let it go down the drain and then yeah analyze that always took my breath away as and thats exactly it for hey so thats very nice yes tell me about this competition though i have a theory that. You can perfect. Certain parts of the craft but there are some guys are just pulled the sword from the stone as far as been brilliantly funny tell me what youre running in tunis comedy competition wayne bradys comedy i kill innately funny people that youre helping polish or what are you getting well its these teenagers and we came up with the idea my a partner mandy night because my own route to comedy was very securitas and weird because i never considered myself a funny person and comedy was not on my radar i started off the musical theater and doing shakespeare and doing you know like stuff that in my mind my plan was i was going to broadway and i wanted to follow in the footsteps of cats like Sidney Poitier and and i wanted to see my craft and do all that stuff and and then along the way i wanted to do music of a singer as well so i met someone this lady claire who whos now at a really well know screenwriter and she invited me to an improv class that she and her husband taught and it opened my eyes because when i learned what the basics of improv were and she broke it down and then sketch comedy i realized that it was just the same things that id been doing in my bedroom by myself for years trying to to write and trying to come up with characters and do all these things and i was able to take the acting the singing and dancing all of that shot shiny stuff and laid on top of the improv and they worked with me and they taught me these are the beats to make some something funny this is where you hold this is how you read an audience and talking about jerry and the syllables even in doing an improv bit theres a difference that if someone throws some something at you that if you use too many words you over explained and you lose their attention if you use too few they look like you you dont know what youre talking about if you can say the amount just just the right. The amount of things that a pause here and a look there and you learn which words are funny you learn but body language thats funny that was my boot camp so the argument is can you teach someone to be funny and i said well i never thought i was naturally funny so i wanted to teach the scene to around the same age that i was when i started acting so i want to to get kids who some of them can sing some some of them can act a little bit some some of you can dance and they all have good personalities can i teach them the art of being funny my way and thats what we try to and i have to tell you the experiment was a success you had kids who really didnt know anything about funny who had no desire and by the end of it i had him on stage at 2nd city actually making people laugh doing improv and doing sketch because i was able to do the regular skills that they came up with to say hey so if youre a good singer im going to teach you to write a song on the spot and this is how you break down the meter your punch line goes here you always make sure to paint this high picture trust me on this boom and then that kid could could do it i said if you can dance a little bit teach you how to make a funny character using your physicality trust me on this and at the end of the 1010 weeks we had kids who were doing things that they never thought they would have done and it kind of proves my experiment and now i want to try it on on adults i started off with teenagers because they were the most open because when we become a little older we want to learn were no longer vessels we think that that that weve got a lot in. Our young and it was probably one of the best experiences of my life being a mentor to these kids. When you must have been so jazz so many 18 year old kids right now are so lost and they all want to be famous but it seems like they see a lot of famous people havent done any of the heavy lifting to teach them a sellable skill get them up in front of a Live Audience they musta been a must win over the moon my friend that is it exactly in fact there was one young man on the show by the name of t. J. Such a funny kid i told him i said if things go right for you youre going to be a star but the problem that i had with t. J. Doing the show was he teaches grown up in this culture where in the instagram and in the facebook culture where people call themselves comedians using the air air quotes and oh almost a funny sketch and really it just boils down to them either taking ideas that are recycled or just horrible things with no taste so heres hoping what he loves kevin hart is like kevin hart is it so every time that i called upon t. J. To do something it would be a variation of some kevin hart bit that ive done and i completely get it because you know i used to do Richard Pryor routines and and mr cosby stuff because thats thats what you heard but then expand and get to know yourself he didnt want to break out of that bubble and i told him i was frank with message especially as a young black man its important for you to understand all the things that you can do so that you dont walk onstage in his go to immediately was one character character thing that he did that sin bad and i jumped on him like a hot sauce. I got that sucks i got that sucks and i was like i went dude do you do what what what do you do right now and sinbad asked me said does your uncle really talk like that no sir do you know someone that actually have their personal life no sir. His whole thing had been built because of an image that he felt that he had to have because he was black and he felt he had to do this and live up to whatever this thing was and what came out of that and he was the real kid and he took chief he wrote the stand of set which was. Out of this world about being being the being a kid that was taken out of private school and dumped into this Public School he had to prove himself daily to the other black kids and to prove his his blackness and what it meant to him inside he shared his story and all of a sudden the kid was on fire so moments like that made me really realize that this is something that i want to do for the rest of my life and some for when i see that its on you know what are so many platforms that tell me about the why you t. V. And i also think. Thats. Just an coupling that when youre going to say the actor tell me about b. Y. U. And your production partner. Well my production partner mandy we weve been we met when she was 19 and i was 23 and weve been together ever since 1st as a as a boyfriend girlfriend him and then we got married and then we got divorced but throughout the whole time weve been best friends and weve always created together so we didnt let the divorce stop our friendship and our love in fact if anything were were even closer now than when we were married just in the sense of we have each others backs theres i trust her with with my life and and she gave me a beautiful daughter and and she gives me some of my best ideas so i would say that im definitely the the they winner in the whole deal we partnered with a Company Called intuitive and entertainment and we took it to be where you t. V. Because we knew this was a family show so we didnt want to um we pitch a couple places and the note was always the same they wanted to sensational piece of a reality show which is cool i mean thats what we all watch watched them reality t. V. Sometimes but i didnt want anything sensational to get in the way of this message and in the way of the Creative Process because the show was pretty much the 1st time that anyone has tried to peel back. The mystery in the magic of what improv and sketch sketch can really be you know youve seen stand up done unlike last comic standing in other shows that shows you the the they comic journey that way and especially with kids that only want all that drama so be way u. T. V. Got it theyre a Family Network they were an amazing partner in this and they were also an amazing partner because of the diversity that we went in we went in knowing that we wanted to cast this as a diverse show so we wanted representatives from we want to black kids wanted white kids we wanted kids of any kid who was good of any race sadly representation always isnt there on a lot of other shows that are town talent base and we felt this was the one especially if its going to follow my journey if it damn well better have someone who kind of looks like me so that then it because that isnt always the case so so i have to give b. Y. U. T. V. Props some on just saying do do what you will and give it to us and its it was an amazing journey and the kids are great and they were a great partner and they you can watch them on the app they got the streaming app on apple t. V. Its a b y u we t. V. You can go to to be where you t. V. Got ward 2 to watch online but i would definitely say go download the app to stream and besides my show which i think is great and especially right now with everything thats going on the world theyve got a ton of family oriented shows so if you want to take a break from h. B. O. And from from the stuff that you know we we we call grown folks shows and you want to watch it as a family bua you t. V. Is a great. And sun sweet and you know well that the Hallmark Channel goes geez people are looking for someplace where they can just go and unplug and i hope im not talking about their made that or this and the no generals like the people running drones right now because they want a set number and date and just on one with the. Yeah end and i mean i think im guilty of this you know especially being in comedy we so sometimes that our initial thoughts because you go in for the funniest things can sometimes be the most negative version or the most are you sarcastic version so so when i hear of b. Y. U. T. V. Or hallmark of these things you go. It must be you know pollyanna and saccharin but we have have to remember that yeah for every one that loves a good car the car crashes and and some boobies theres a good person and as a family that they want their kids to be able to sit down and watch t. V. With them and and ive got more sensitive to that as a been a father so i completely get it all right im going to talk with more with wayne after the break weve got i havent even gotten to lets make a deal and well talk once again i want to get the shell out though the show is a new comedy competition its called wayne bradys comedy kill its on b. Y. You t. V. And youve got to keep an eye out for because the 1st season wraps on june 15th sounds like a cool idea you want to get a taste of it here so you can clock right in for the 2nd season next year all right more with wayne brady right after this and Dennis Miller plus one. Ah i know to no crowd. No shots no. Action just helps because. When the well is dry no arrests. Quench your thirst for action. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. We are witnessing the rise of a new secular religion and its called tokenism at the moment in a short history its goal is to end racism by well everything is now considered racist the believers in this call demand obedience result criticism the really never told how racism is to be a radical asian or how it helps serve the interests of working people of all colors. Hey folks welcome back to Dennis Miller plus one sorry lunge the chair there. But doing it from hong lines at his place down in l. A. And wayne and you know what i always think about drew and i are simple i wish i could get that yeah cuz i like game shows i always think it must be so nice to be able to riff but theres a baseline of stephanie where he show up have to do is be convivial its people to a large degree show them well and watch them as they have the finest day of their life and and medical wise so i always think geez id like to get a game show and youre killen i mean i think youve won a timex for tommy lee the experience and lets make a deal lets make a deal has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my career and i have to admit i didnt think it was going to be that i when i started doing it for stuff i turned it down a couple times when when c. B. S. 1st 1st approached me and the executive producer at the time mike richards. I said no because in my mind i had a very specific picture of the worst version of a Game Show Host now Game Show Host can be cool but i remember growing up and loving but im like Richard Dawson and i love. To see them and be. So good and i will eat all of the panel but then add a certain point people sort of think of a Game Show Host like the guy in the the bad fitting jacket with a law like an all right jimi tell them what they want and that is not who i want to be is like this is not my thing im an actor im going to do this sitcom pilot that i was doing and im like im out but then they said monte hall would love to meet with you and i still was going to say no but its like this is pretty cool i get to go and meet monte hollies to watch him with my grandmother every day after school im going to go mean monte hall and by the time he finished talking to me and told me the good that the show does for people in being able to. To give and he said we dont want you to make lets make a deal my show im not funny like you are and that you you make this show whatever you want and getting that was a pat on the back and ive always been a big one for challenges and i thought how can i make this cool can i make this funny and the 1st season or 2 we had our growing pains and i honestly didnt know i felt that i was being made made fun of by other comics and this mostly by black comics and saying are you doing this cheesy game show you this you that you blah blah blah but then at some point we had a turn where i found my groove and the producers all came together and especially one guy in the particular guy named chris a hern who we got it we said if were going to make this show and if those arent going to watch then lets just do whatever the show is that we were. Lets go out on our shields right yeah like just go out and just do whatever and then we started getting attention because i was finally meet just like i gave that kid c. J. Advice i finally started being me i wasnt playing a Game Show Host would show up and i said hey so i will give you the money there is no script but heres how were going to get to the game im going to do an improv were going to do a sketch im going to run outside of the studio we became super unpredictable and thats what people started responding to and it taught me me a lesson and taught me to be thankful for for my blessings it taught me to to to really like people more because contrary to what some people well a lot of people think. Especially when i had a talk show back in the day im not. I was never someone who really enjoyed the company of other people which is part of my childhood im a very very solitary person so im not a person that goes out of my way to make friends or to shake hands because. Raised raised that way wasnt in me im a very very introverted person so in getting to do this show daily and having people stand next to me that i get to change their lives that brightened my whole thing it completely opened me up in a different way that i hadnt been open before and so now going into our 12th season then im loving the show i get to make phone tapir and i get to make myself happy and i have the stability that most people in show business cant say that they have so its a win win win congrats on the win last year and you must think its not your place were so good tell me about that experience that it was talking about amassing a fuck sorry but here i think you all doubt that but. It was great man i was the reason i did it was because i can or to take control of my own narrative when it came to so that part i thought i feel that when people watch me if they know who i am its like the the story of the elephant in the blind men that everyones got a different opinion in terms of well no shes of this or even shes of that or hes of this and they grab a different part of the elephant and they think the thing well with me they just dont there are some people that they dont know and im a Grammy Nominated singer thats been on broadway for years and that ive done that and thats a part of my arsenal even though theyve seen me on whose line they dont think about it just like they didnt think of jamie foxx as an incredible musician and singer and pianist when he was doing wanda on in living color because you only know the thing thats in front of you so this was my thing to say im going to do the show i put on this then mask and my aim is to go up there until it and then when the mask comes off when it moves people will then grasp what it is that im doing and i have to say that the result was exactly the best the optimal the optimal and that the fact that i won in one end and it was great. Killer pipes and as a matter of fact when i illinois i hear the saying i think you must a kicked ass as billy flat i think at one point looked great part will wasnt wasnt fun chicago must have been a vast chicago was my broadway debut i did that about i think god like me maybe 1011 years ago and thats thats the thing that ive been working for my whole life and then since then and ive been in hamilton and change the boots and done done a bunch of probably workshops its its definitely a piece that that makes me happy and it and and it kind of keeps me hold the the fact that i can go and go to broadway or do a musical theater piece and then turn around in the new improv on the road and tour and then go host a game show and then release a record and then go to Carnegie Hall or to symphony thing if exactly the career that i didnt know that i could ever wish for and that im glad that i was blessed with how did you eventually make it your way to hollywood and i dont know the very beginning when where did you say that you started out in florida yes so in a nutshell in a really fast net show a store off in orlando i started doing theater no end o. Work that all the theme parks and work the disney world and and Universal Studios eventually i got a job singing and dancing on a cruise ship and then i did a rocknroll tour with the the with the theme park show that took me to 6 flags in st louis then i moved to las vegas and i started singing and dancing at the m. G. M. Grand and i worked for legends in concert and i drove up to l. A. Every other day to audition for commercials and for t. V. Shows and i joined an improv group that no i didnt join and we all moved moved out together from orlando called the house full of honkies and throughout. I dont we got got some place they came in sauce at the acme comedy theater and they invited us to audition for whose line and at the end of the day i was the one that got a got the job that changed my life in 1990. You know and if they could arrive to now later one of the few guys who arrived here and thought actually temperature wise the coolest place ive ever worked because if you work another parks in florida that is an absolute Blast Furnace you blow out of there you go to vegas which is a double Blast Furnace you messed with thought you were going to nome d alaska by the time you got to the valley but this is paradise baby decide this is sherman oaks ive had the president you get me North Hollywood any the day over of the weather in florida because i love my florida folk but hell no. Or take it away freddie and i just want to remind you folks you can go over to be why you t. V. And coming up the final june 15th you better get over there quick test that hes got a new comedy competition 18 years old kids in that era and its perfectly positioned at the place that he has at b. Y. U. T. V. Because i guarantee wayne if you go to some of the networks and you bring that j. T. Kit and theyre going to say and like that 1st character you were doing can you go back to that theyre such they missed the point so pathetically on network that really talked about rather if i could so you how many things that are addition for a member of back to back in the day when you korean was around there was a show called called the homeboys in outer space and my buddy flex alley where i think you might know flicks a standard stand up flex. These are member testing for it and it was my 1st time testing for sitcom and im sitting in the waiting room and im looking at the script and i remember talking to the casting associate at one point and doing one of the lines in the casting so she did so she had that thats great but can you like you know kenya and did this thing. You know you know like. Home boy because it is called home boys home boy and it oh you know i dont know if this is my cup of tea and and i was so happy that flex got it because hes such a funny actor and i thought youd talk to him him about it later and its that thing of some sometimes in this business when when when there is one character and 10 rabbits you all want that same character and and thats why why the fact that we can have diversity in these t. V. Shows and representation is a big deal because were so used to having a culture where where if youre the only black dude or only black woman in the show then theres no other job for all these other people so so it all starts with a culture that embraces those stereotypes and says well if you dont fit into that stereotype or if you cant do that character then we dont watch and thats right fought for against my entire career so im glad that were actually making some some strides in that and that i can be a part of that i know that you aimed at some of the best at im not actor ive done a few things are more chaotic but i people say were just learn to act and i said i dont do it that often but i did act in rooms which suits the band where they were say the stupidest ive ever heard in my life and i had to lock a grin on ice so yeah yeah let me can slip me think about that now and youd leave the room you got your believe that these are the people hiring me. Those are the people in charge the. Maids are really running the prison some sometimes. You really do need to learn learn your acting chops my my go to move when when when im in a meeting and im hearing just some ridiculous shit is as im like boom boom boom boom. Maybe im thinking but what im doing is im is im keeping my mouth shut because i know that if i actually say. Probably end up cursing them out so so you definitely have so could you put your thespian skills to it so that says always indicate your kilt that 30 years i guess and happy cat. Friendly with your ex youve got a baby youve got a youve been dog life its good bye friend thank you wayne and as i said fox june 15th the final episode on b. Y. U. T. V. Of wayne brady comedy. And i cant wait to see it. Thank you way for your time as Dennis Miller plus one. To take away then from this hard steel where its a 2000000000 dollar negative net Worth Company worth 400000000 and theyre issuing International Bankruptcy offering fresh deal of stock they take away the news the information the fact is it has nothing to do with the current the company it what it says is that the dollar is collapsing the dollar has entered a hyper inflationary collapse and this causes people to run into things like fictitious stock markets as weve seen in zimbabwe as we see it in venezuela this is whats happening in the United States right now as of today. In the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of Northern Ireland that was coordinated loyalists attacks particularly costly population of tens of flows in support forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was a p. R. You see the Police Actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of full streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were. As the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the currents which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would lead to be named to the known gang i think it went to do very very top i think if the photos cross the water where all the taste and you thought was going on and give the go ahead.
