Not in a million years I could have imagined Andre Braugher could be THIS funny!... I had always seen him in the "wise friend" role and he nailed that... but I couldn't think of him as an actual comedy actor but he was amazing in this show. 7 out of the top 10 spit-my-coffee laughing moments were entirely his doing

I don't think I had seen him in anything before 99. But he really was great. Top 2 moments for me are the rant about etymology in The Box, and "yas queen" when he pulls the "gay card".

He plays the straight guy great. Erm. I guess the straight gay guy? How the fuck does that work in the industry?

He's playing a "straight man" that's gay maybe?

How I felt when I saw Christopher Meloni in VEEP and Happy! That dude is surprisingly good at comedy.
