Wayne Brady offers to "slap the shit" out of Bill Maher, immediately reminding everyone of that one Chappelle's Show skit
Tired of being a go-to reference for Bill Maher whenever the Real Time comedian wants to make an easy joke about President Obama's relative lack of "blackness," normally affable game show host Wayne Brady offered to "slap the shit" out of Maher—a threat that might speak poignantly, as The Hollywood Reporter says, to "an odd undercurrent" of questioning Obama's racial identity recently epitomized by Morgan Freeman, were everyone not immediately distracted by the "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?" skit from Chappelle's Show. It is, however, notable that Brady made his comments on Aisha Tyler's Girl On Guy podcast nearly two months ago, suggesting that it's perhaps only because of Freeman's comments that it's just now getting some attention. Still, any chance of this sparking a considered debate over race has all but been dashed, because Wayne Brady. Choke a bitch. Is he going to have to? And so on.
