Shownotes
In Part 2, Marlon Wayans gives credit to his brother Keenen's talent-spotting abilities, noting how Keenen discovered major stars like Tommy Davidson, Jim Carrey, and Jennifer Lopez, and he reminisces about the legendary four-year run of In Living Color.
Marlon shares stories about his experiences in Hollywood, like working with Eddie Murphy on Norbit, his close friendship with Tupac Shakur during the filming of Above the Rim, and how the tragic deaths of Tupac and Biggie impacted him. He discusses the origins of The Wayans Bros show and remembers some of their best guests, including Bernie Mac, whom they helped elevate to stardom.
He gets into the complexities of Hollywood, discussing his family's challenges with the Weinstein brothers and how they were cheated out of a fair deal for the Scary Movie franchise. He reflects on the impact of being a visionary Black entertainer and the importance of coming together to create rather than tear each other down.
Marlon talks about some of the iconic moments in his career, such as the making of White Chicks, which he describes as the hardest movie he's ever done. He responds to claims from Mo'Nique that White Chicks stole her baby powder joke, and addresses criticism about Black actors wearing dresses in Hollywood. He also shares his unique approach to comedy, stating that he doesn't write his jokes but performs spontaneously, "like Jay-Z in the booth."
In a more personal segment, Marlon opens up about his relationship with his daughter and the difficulties of accepting her transition. He discusses his desire to have another child in his 50s, his reluctance to get married, and how he plans to be a different father this time around.
Tune in to this episode of Club Shay Shay for a raw and insightful conversation with Marlon Wayans, filled with laughter, love, and some unexpected revelations.
