Comedian Wayne Brady on showbiz's bad rep

"Let's Make a Deal" host Wayne Brady says showbiz gets a bad reputation.

"Show business is not a bad business. It's the people within that that make poor decisions," he said Tuesday on "CBS This Morning." "And humans are not perfect creatures, and a lot of people lie and a lot of people do bad things ..."

Brady, who has won multiple Emmy Awards as an actor, comedian, dancer and singer, said he doesn't understand why parents discourage their children from going into the business.

"The fact that music can help with your math, that reading can help with your reasoning, that learning to improvise and to do characters and stand on your feet as a kid ... it helps with your special reasoning, it helps you with your confidence, it helps you as a person. Those are nothing but good things," Brady said.

His daughter follows his footsteps as an actor, singer and dancer.

"She is my complete existence outside of work, and even then work-wise, 'Let's Make a Deal' is the job, but I'm blessed enough that I get to do so many things with her ..."

The CBS game show, where audience members dress in outrageous costumes and are selected to make deals with the host, just taped its 1,001st episode. Brady is also preparing to improvise a song with a human cello for an upcoming all-musical episode.

Brady is known for his enthusiastic persona on the show, as he juggles improv and show host duties.

"When you get paid to be on TV, you damn well better be into your job ... I mean it's not Shakespeare, which I have had the opportunity to do as well, so I guess it's a really cool little balancing act," he said.

Brady said he has fun on the show.

"We make people smile. It's really such a unique job," Brady said. "I don't think I've done anything else like it, in terms of exactly what that thing is, being in the middle of these people, dressed, like they're dressed, giving cash away and making stuff up on the spot and running a show like that."
