Whatever happened to the bald guy from Who's Line Is It Anyways? Wouldn't you think that a guy like that would have been involved with other things? I"m not saying he should have gotten his own sitcom, but shouldn't he be writing or acting in SOMETHING? If he was supposed to be so funny at coming up with stuff on the fly, imagine what he could do if you gave him some time to flesh some things out. But he ended up completely disappearing. I mean, this guy looks like a more washed up version of Bill Murray than...Bill Murray! This just all goes to show that he and that whole show were full of shit (this guy, not bill murray).
I mean look at the lovable Wayne Brady. He was a superstar on the show for his "hilarious characters and improvisations". And don't even get America started on his musical comedy. So the industry saw this and reacted to his stardom the way they would with any burgeoning, comedic superstar - they gave him his own show - The Wayne Brady Show. They gave this guy a variety show where he had an hour to do whatever this comedic mastermind could come up with. The show was an abysmal failure being canceled after the first season. I mean the show was atrocious. But the suits said, "No this can't be, he was so funny on Who's Line!" So they actually gave him another show (also called The Wayne Brady Show) this time structuring it as more of a talk show format so that Wayne wouldn't have to strain his comedic mind for the entire hour, but instead they could fill much of the time with guests and and musical performances. The show sucked the entire time, and they kept it going for 2 seasons before admitting defeat yet again.
And now look at Wayne Brady. What does he do? He's the proud host of "Don't Forget The Lyrics". After realizing the guy had no comedic value at all, Wayne Brady was banished, along with the rest of Hollywood's waste, to the world of tv game shows. The sad part though is how premature it came in his career. Even Mario Lopez had a good run for awhile before his exile to shows like Pet Stars and America's Best Dance Crew.
