Wayne Brady Shares Jokes
When Brady was asked how many rolls of toilet paper they have at home, he said that he does not know because he was taught by his mom to stock up on a lot of things when he was a child. He even jokingly said that they have "50 toothbrushes" and "two closets of towels" at home.
Wanting to make people laugh, he said that the reason he bought so many meats, beans, and toilet paper is that "you" would be needing one after eating the other, "hallelujah."
"The Masked Singer"
Brady also shared about his "double life" when he appeared as the Fox on FOX's "The Masked Singer" and when he won the competition. The comedian joked that winning on something makes you sleep better at night.
He added that he was at an advantage because he once worked as Goofy and Tigger at Disney World. He even remembered wearing the Tigger outfit and how it is just like the fox outfit with the head and line of visibility. And he said that there was a belt wrapped around the belly with a PVC pipe that is Tigger's tail and the Tigger outfit is skin-tight.
He also said that he knew that the best thing to do is to maintain his breath while singing and dancing because it is different from before.
Before joining the competition, the Emmy winner sought the approval of his daughter and ex-wife first, because to him, the coolest person would always be his 17-year-old daughter.
