Wayne Brady Recalls Passing On A Project W/ Jamie Foxx That He Regrets: I Was In A Deal At The Time & I Said No

Despite Wayne Brady’s various accolades through his work on comedy television, he does regret not acting on one project with another household name.

Comedian/actor Wayne Brady, 50, recently caught up with Entertainment Tonight and revealed that Jamie Foxx, 54, reached out to work with him to develop a series, but it didn’t end up going through.

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?”
