Game show host Wayne Brady opened up about almost getting a chance to work with the actor, comedian, and singer prior to this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards. Wayne shared:
“Years ago, right after I got Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Jamie Foxx reached out to me and took me to dinner and asked me to work on a sketch show with him, or to do something. I was in a deal at the time and I said no, and to this day I’m like, ‘Aw, man. I really wish.’”
He added:
“Because I feel like Jamie Foxx and I should be best friends. I wanna be Jamie Foxx’s buddy.”
Wayne has a shelf of Emmy’s, although the project with Jamie Foxx didn’t continue on. Wayne received the Primetime Emmy Award in 2003 for his performance on “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”
