John Charles Daly
Daly's first foray into television was as a panelist on the game show "Celebrity Time". This led to a job in 1950 as the host and moderator on a new panel show produced by Goodson–Todman, "What's My Line?" The show lasted 17 years with Daly hosting all but four episodes of the weekly series.
Whose Line Is It Anyway? (U.S. TV series)
Brady had a summer variety show on ABC in 2001, "The Wayne Brady Show" and then hosted a daytime talk show of the same name for two seasons, starting in September 2002. He also was the host of Fox's "Don't Forget the Lyrics". In 2007, he made a guest appearance in one episode of "30 Rock", and has made several appearances on "How I Met Your Mother" as Barney Stinson's homosexual brother. He also had a couple of guest appearances on "Chappelle's Show". Since October 5, 2009, Brady has been the host of CBS' revival of the classic game show "Let's Make a Deal". Featuring Jonathan Mangum as announcer and Co-Host, this new iteration utilized some classic elements of improv from "Whose Line", most notably Brady's singing and comedic abilities, occasionally breaking out into spontaneous musical improv in front of or involving contestants, and not being a stipulated aspect of the particular game to be played. As of 2009, every main "Whose Line" participant has hosted at least one game show except Ryan Stiles.
