Host with the Most: Wayne Brady

The host of the rebooted ''Let's Make a Deal'' talks his new gig and some old favorites, like ''Chapelle's Show''

THE WAYNE BRADY SHOW (2002-04)
The actor nabbed two Emmys in 2003 and 2004 as host of his daytime talker. ''That was when I stopped being the black guy from Whose Line Is It Anyway? to actually being Wayne Brady.''

CHAPPELLE'S SHOW (2004)
Brady famously muddied his clean image in a sketch, when telling a hooker, ''Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?'' Fans quote the line back to him, but they ''never get it right. Always some frat guy comes up: 'Hey, does Wayne Brady have to strike a chick on the left side of her face?'''

LET'S MAKE A DEAL (2009)
Deal is in safe hands — Brady regularly watched the original game show with his mom as a kid. ''When I [told her], 'I'm the host,' the squeal that came out of her mouth was amazing. You would have thought I was named the president instead of Obama.''
