It seems like just yesterday (because it was) that we were last thinking about Chappelle’s Show’s “Is Wayne Brady Gonna Have To Choke A Bitch?” sketch, a.k.a. one of the greatest subversions of one man’s comic persona of all time. (Even if Brady did kind of have to be talked into some of the rougher parts.) Now we’re confronted with the news that the Let’s Make A Deal host is joining the next season of The CW’s Black Lightning, where he’ll be playing a character with the not-especially Wayne Brady-esque codename of “Gravedigger.”
