Today, Wayne Brady sits down to chat all about his journey of self-discovery – from his early days on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" to his multifaceted career as an actor, comedian, singer, and television host. He also dishes on how his infamous “Chappelle’s Show” appearance changed him, and explains what it means to him to have recently come out as pansexual. Then we play a classic game of “Here For It, Or Nah.”
