never understood the reference, but the follow up skit with Wayne was hilarious.

Greg and Bryant Gumbel were regarded as the whitest black men to ever live.

Wayne Brady is so white that he makes another guy who is so white look like an angry black dude.

Bryant Gumbel.

Was on the Today show for 15 years, but left in 1997. He was, as folks have put it, considered a "very white black man".

That being said, if you didn't grow up watching him on the Today show, then I imagine the joke would not make a lot of sense to you.

Let's put it this way... As a white person, I can do impressions of Wayne Brady and Bryant Gumbel and it wouldn't be considered racist.

Aside from what the OP is asking I didn't know about Paul Mooney until the Chappelle show. I laughed pretty hard at just about everything he did on Chappelle show.

Negrodamus, Mooney on movies, Ask a Black Dude.

Other things Mooney did: wrote for Richard Pryor, In Living Color (created Homey D Clown) and Good Times.
