Wayne Brady: I Would Gladly Slap The Sh** Out of Bill Maher, And Then See What He Would Do
Also Suggests Bill Maher Hires Transexual Prostitute

The background of this is that Bill Maher has twice said that he wishes Obama would be less like Wayne Brady and more like Suge Knight. Wayne Brady is a black comic who doesn't seem angry and gangstered-up. Suge Knight, on the other hand, is a gangster rap producer who's in jail.

So, it's a weird sort of dis, only possible in a milleu where both racists and non-racists -- blacks and liberal whites -- cling to the notion that "real blacks" have a criminal disposition.

Wayne Brady takes offense to this. I get why -- no one wants to be called a wussy -- but it's still strange that it's an insult to be called "law-abiding and pleasant."

“Now, I’m not saying I’m Billy Badass, but if Bill Maher has his perception of what’s black wrapped up, I would gladly slap the shit out of Bill Maher in the middle of the street, and then I want to see what Bill Maher would do.”

“Now, Bill Maher would call the cops and he would have his lawyer — I’d get sued and lose my house and it’s not worth it for me,” he continued. “But the black man part of me would be so satisfied to slap the shit out of him in front of Cocoa and Ebony and Fox, the three ladies of the night that he has hired."

"I think there's one called 'Fancy,' too," said Tyler.

"Fancy," Brady continued, " who also happened to be named Tyrique at one point.”

Those are such stereotypical "Black Hooker Names" I think maybe they're making them up, but I'm not sure they're making them.

So, is this real dope or a joke?

Bill Maher is known to be a patron of hookers. He also had a black girlfriend nicknamed "Coco" who tried to get money out of him in a palimony suit (which was dismissed). Coco is described as a Playboy model.

It sounds to me like they're making this up as a comedy bit, at least the specifics of it. Aisha Tyler laughs out loud at Brady's "Fancy, also known as Tyrique" line, suggesting this is new to her, and further suggesting this is all just a comedy riff both are engaging in.

It's possible that this is some dirt that people in Hollywood have heard, but have kept to themselves, until now; but if so, I don't know why Aisha Tyler laughs so hard at "Fancy aka Tyrique" rather than just saying "I've heard that too."
