Why Won't You Date Me? with Nicole Byer4 Apr 2025

The Funny Guy Trap (w/ Wayne Brady)

Comedian Wayne Brady (Whose Line Is It Anyway?, What If? podcast) joins Nicole to talk about the struggles of dating when everyone expects you to be the funny guy from TV. He opens up about being an introvert, and how his dates sometimes get disappointed when he's not his 'persona' they know him for. Wayne shares the wild story of dating someone whose parent was openly racist, the struggles he's faced navigating racism in relationships, and what it's like dating as a single father. Plus, the crazy story of how he got fired from Disneyland playing Tigger... the day before landing his big break.
