I was rocking with Damon Wayans in whatever he did.. Stand-up, Blankman and In Living Color but My Wife and Kids had one of the last good fathers on the tv screen. Highly underrated show. Salute to him and his work.
Michael Kyle Kyle 😂
Was ?
💯✊🏾
Earth Girls Are Easy. Fuckin Goldblum, Jim Carrey and Wayans playing dumbass aliens. Ha
💯‼️
He is aging gracefully. Time has just flown by and it’s not stopping. It’s amazing to have a family just FULL of talent and wow their kids are moving on into the slot. Wonderful!!
Hell yeah, them Wayans is old as hell now Keenan like 65 now Marlon like 50. But they need to make another movie with them all involved again why the're all still here. We desperately need another wayans classic
Yeah he created a business within his art form, so they always sharpening each other
He gets more handsome as he ages~Seriously.

Love this interview. I have so much respect for not only Damon but all the Wayans as a whole. To birth that much talent in one bloodline is bananas. Legendary!!!
Blankman is underrated. Damon Wayans is a legend. We need one special 👑
Facts his "low budget" movies like Celtic Pride is one of my favs of all time
One of my favorite movies!
I went to movies to watch it back in the days lol
Blankman is a movie that you see on tv, and you gotta watch everytime. Def underrated.
Pretty sure it’s Free on youtube for y’all that don’t kno
Damon Wayans definitely a legend been around a long time in the comedy and acting world Damon deserves all the flowers he can get one of the game changers
Yes
really??? he is a diva fyi
@@rby7906 nah g he been in the game a long time one of the originals
G.O.A.T. for sure , and needs to be respected as such
These kids today don't even know how much he made people's heads explode with his original characters on In Living Color!
As much fun it was to watch him do his thing, it was almost just as funny to watch certain people react to his particular style of humor!!!
"He said WHAT?😳"
LMFAO yeah he said that!
@@kylaarmstrong-benjamin8066 You just said everything that I was thinking perfectly. I miss everything about that time back then
Dam Straight!
🐐 🐐 🐐
The 4 of Wayans are all goats in they own right.
Especially the oldest brother
Speaking of mental health... MY WIFE AND KIDS show helped my sanity during my court hearings lol. I watched that show back to back. And I ended up NOT going to prison. I even watch that show in today's time, and it's so much joy.
Damon Wayans is one of my Stand Up Comedy influences.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The Greatness Shows!!! #BugsWithEyeLids
Shout out to Damon a true legend in comedy
Facts his "low budget" movies like Celtic Pride is one of my favs of all time
Daman Wayans looks great. He is a comedic legend. I would love to see a Netflix documentary on the Wayans brothers.
Great idea.
It's Krazy; they're Soo talented that you can document them as a family unit and document them each individually .. shout out ot the Wayans Tribe .. #godbless
This man is a cultural icon…hell the whole family salute to the Wayans 🫡‼️
His big bro was the foundation Kenyon Ivory Wayans
@@akmarparker9599 Keenan yes he is a goat too…from Im gone get you sucker and hell produce Eddie Murphy Raw 🫡
@@akmarparker9599 big facts!
My Wife and Kids prob the first show I saw that I couldn't get enough of growing up in the 00's. Love Damon man
Major Payne will forever be one of my favorite comedy movies of all time. Damon is a LEGEND.
Same
The Wayan’s family are so respected love their energy. 👌👏
Great interview with the great Damon Wayans...."I don't do it to do specials. I do it because it is special to me." Powerful Quote
He has the most memorable characters. Damon is a gem.
I will never forget back in the 80’s Eddie Murphy was on Arsenio Hall and he said he’d just seen Damon perform in a comedy club. He went on to say how afraid of him he was because of how funny Damon’s performance was. Eddie was at the top of his game back then and saw Damon as a problem! This man is hilarious and super relatable; my favorite comedian of all time!
Je comfirme c'est Michael Kyle 😊
He is so wise, aging well and humbly confident
He is aging like fine wine! 💯
Right ✅

Super fine lol.
I’m so proud of him, he’s amazing and an ICON. He’s never gotten the flowers that he deserves
The funniest and most talented Wayans hands down. A legend!
Definitely. Easily the wittiest of the family.
Guess you never heard of his brother Keenan who started all this wrote for in living color and Eddie Murphy
@@Official360 must be to young to know about Keenan I guess
@@speedyblackston1647 Facts Lol Him & Damon Are My Favs
I use to have a favorite, then it switched to another Wayans, then another, etc. Looking back I realized there just isn't a favorite because they're all special each in their own way.. so it's impossible to choose.
Keenan started it, Damon and Kim followed shortly after, then trained the younger Wayans. Marlon always credits his older siblings as the teachers and role modeling everything him and Shawn did
Watched Major Payne with my sons the other day. Still hits!!! He called that little kid Ass eyes lmao
Ass eyes though… too Funny ‼️
I did, too.
Facts his "low budget" movies like Celtic Pride is one of my favs of all time
I've been his fan since I was a little kid, and I believe he's just been getting better and better as he gets older!
To me, these older comedians I grew up with, just get funnier the more seasoned they are.
When he made my wife and kids as funny as it was….on prime time television I put him in his own category…I first saw him on the Robert Townsend special….on VHS😂😂😂if you only knew how many times I watched that tape…the good old days☺️
Me too, since I was a kid I loved him and his family !
@@egocentric222 that whole family is friggin hilarious af!
There's nieces, nephews, cousins all coming up!
The Wayne's are gonna have us laughing for generations to come!!!🤣😂🤣😂😂
Yeah I looked up to him, my wife & kids is such a gem for real life situations
In living color still funny af to this day. The wayans comedy royalty. Not everything they did was a hit but I always respected the fact that they were bold and tried new things every time. Damon a legend and glad he and his fam still around especially in a time where we’ve lost so many greats the last few years
You get chills just knowing how funny this family and this brother put it down. This really insane, and his sister can make you cry....
Damon definitely one of the greatest! The entire Wayans family have so much talent. And if Damon and David Alan Grier did "Men On" again that would be prenominal! I'd love to see it. Thanks for this interview. I loved it.
Damon is an OG in this comedy game....Homey D Clown is an iconic character
An In Living Color special would be crazy! Keenan, Damon, Kim, Jim, Jamie, Tommy, David & Crystal! That show raised me literally.
No JLO?
Jlo was a dancer. The OP are naming the comedians of the show
@@kpwg1107 Fo Real?
The other Kim too!!!💯
“My Wife and Kids” is my favorite TV show. The Wayans family is royalty and I would love to work with them. One day maybe
Same!
61???? Ain’t no way!! He looks amazing!
He is hilarious. I would love to see him perform in person. And Major Payne still has me crying laughing every time I watch it! He's aged very well too!
I like how the Wayans Bros take shots at each other in these interviews. I still go back to Shawn and Marlon's impression of Damon and Keenan.
I like that Damon mentioned mental health.... because it's REAL!!!
Man ALLLLLLL of the Wayans are apart of my upbringing! Love and appreciate that family!
Damon Wayans should go down as one of the greatest comedians in history he's so underrated it makes me sick he should be doing more movies cuz he's the funniest out of all the Wayans
Je confirme 😊
Gotta love Damon Wayans. He’s my favorite
Damon and Marlon are my fav out of the crew . From their shows and movies be having me rolling
I love Damon Wayans! I wish he would do more interviews! Definitely 🐐 status!
Facts his "low budget" movies like Celtic Pride is one of my favs of all time
I loved this interview!! The Wayans are truly the reason why so many artists, actors, ect...have and had careers
I can’t even get through the first 2:00 without laughing. “That’s when you have problems” & “it’s easy to snap these days”.. Thank You so much Elvira! You did a fantastic job!!
Damn right.
Hell of a beard rub, Damon.
Pure gold this man! Damon Wayans in Bulletproof was 10/10, much like everything else he did. I laughed harder at his stand up over most others. Keep on sailing Damon.
The beard rub is very unsettling to me. He just won’t or can’t stop.
@@rwray3235 🤣
A half hour beard rub.
He's one of the best stand-up comedians I've ever seen. I mean it. He's really underrated because he doesn't have the classic specials but Damon Wayans is one of the greats!
I remember one of his specials from back in the day was so hilarious. The one where he spoke about the pimp silky pitching him ideas for a movie. Definitely a classic in my eyes and one of the best standup specials I ever watched.
His special The last stand is a classic
The wayans are the family that set the tone for comedy. Damon, Keynan put so many people on and the stuff we see today is because what they did back in the day. You have to mention them when you speak about comedy.
His clarity, humbleness & confidence is 💯
We need a new series with Damon!! All Love for the Wayans family!!!
Damon Wayans may be one of the greatest sketch comedians of all time. Homie the Clown, Handy Man, Men on Film, Anton, etc. SNL missed out when they fired him back in the day.
"Homie don't play dat!" He was a pioneer, fo sure.
When was he on SNL? I never seen him on there and I've been watching that show since the 80's.
@@tamekabatson1998 Season 11 (1985-1986) He was only on for 11 episodes. He came in the year after Eddie Murphy left.
Oh, my teenage years. Never knew I'm going to have to look that up.
@@drjasonfreeman wow! I was today years old when I learned that Damon was on SNL. Thanks for sharing, I'm going to go find those episodes!
61!?!?! Great job Mr. Wayan…GodSpeed 🙏🏾💪🏾
He has always been, in my opinion, been the funniest of all of his family members. I have enjoyed him in each and every project that he has been involved in.
He said Chris Rocks hands look like “Lil back scratchers.” 😫🤣😫🤣😫🤣
Baby hands
Damon saved my life on the set of Moe Money then hired me back for Blank Man. Love love love him....Forever grateful...forever a fan. Thank you Sir.
BS?
He's so gorgeous! Always wanted to meet him in person! Love Damon and the rest of the Wayans family!
Daman and the entire Wayans family is underrated as it relates to their body of work in film, sketch shows and comedy.
Aging gracefully. He still got it. Much respect.
My wife & kids really brings me joy to this day, I know he didn’t write the script but he really made that role personal for me, they all did 🤞🏾
I love, love, love me some Damon Wayans!! He is my favorite Wayans bro!!! And he still fine as wine!!
In Living Color, Colors, Mo Money, Major Payne, Blankman, My Wife and Kids= Legend
I love everyone from in living color so happy I was able to grow up and witness that era
in real time!
Keenan ivory wayans his big brother is the silent goat of Hollywood nothing but respect for this family
Cool to hear he is back on stage
Thee Damon Wayans👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾a living legend
Said his hands was like little back scratchers 😂😂😂💀
Damon Wayne’s 🐐
Damon what can I say bout,He is a super og that put his Wayans family on the map..Along with others...He has a huge Blueprint in the Entertainment industry...Remember as kid couldn't wait to get home to watch the Wayans Brothers
Wayans family is "Legendary" Damon is a legend alive. That super bowl story is CRAZY. Makes there genius more solidified.
Damon Wayans is brilliant. Truly a phenomenal talent. He should be up there with Richard Pryor. Easy top 5 pick
Yes easy!
He definitely up there. 💯
Woah.... Love the brother. But "easy" top 5? Idk who you replace. Pryor, Murphy, Chappelle, O'Neal, Carlin.... I could go on: 5150 (if you know, you know), Lawrence, Burr......
@@olliwest7341 I like your list!! But hes definitely in the top 5 for his era!! 90s!! (You need to add Cosby to your list. IJS.)
Martin, Damon, and Sommore are my top 3.
This man and his brother parodies of movies are the best to ever done it. All are classics. Everything the Marlon bros gave us was 🔥🔥🔥 salute to the Kingz
His stand up comedy is so underrated! He is one of the Greatest to ever do it! Big Ups to this Brother! Glad I was alive to see him from his beginnings and his Career Journey!
Damon Wayans Jr's best work is the show "Happy Endings". It only had 3 seasons, but it was very funny.
Junior really showcased high-level comedic acting and skill. I think he's (by-far) the best comedic actor of the Wayans👍
I love this show! I still watch it faithfully
Yo, the episode when Damon Jr had a cavity is hilarious til this day!
That show was HILARIOUS!!!!
U musta didn't see him on def jam
@@LOUDsigh I didn't get to see him on Def Jam. Looking that up👍
Damon Wayans is the GOAT!!! The Wayans Family literally put everybody on!!!
I enjoyed this interview. Extremely powerful. Damon is still the man (and still handsome too)! In Living Color was absolutely the BEST and brings back so many wonderful memories. The talent they had was off the chain. The entire Wayans family is talented. I introduced my son to watch it along with My Wife and Kids, Martin, A Different World, Fresh Prince of BelAir, etc.
a comedian verz would be next level because everyone loves comedy and wanna laugh. they need to make that happen
I love love love this man!!! I wish My Wife and Kids was still on tv!!! I love the entire Wayans family 🥰🥰🥰
Damon Wayans is one of my favorite comedians of all time underrated don't get his respected like he should in the game legendary 💯
Facts his "low budget" movies like Celtic Pride is one of my favs of all time
True. Don't nun of the wayans get the credit they deserve
@@whywomenhatemyforeskin2121 Facts 💯
Most underrated of all time! All of the Wayans!
This man greatest work imo is My Wife and Kids! It’s my number 1 favorite sitcom with Friends coming in at second. Best tv father, with Uncle Phil coming in at 2nd place.
Damon Wayans 1 of the top comedians of all time
Damon is zaddy! Always has been!!!!
When Damon dropped that phone... "tears"
Man.... The centrificalness of Damons speakafications really be flatulating my liquids. To put it quite iridescently....If I may retain my bowels here for one moment. I must say that this brotha is metamucil!!!!!!!!! ..........Suppositorily speaking of course.
THIS IS GOLD……
😭😂😂😂😂😂
Never missed in my eyes...Damon was funny and on point in every format. Also that take on "The Slap" was on hilarious
Been rocking with Damon Wayans since his cameos in Beverly Hills Cop and Hollywood Shuffle.
I always loved the Wayans they were a big part of my childhood they deserve their flowers
💯
Rosenberg misquoted TF outta Chappelle at 18:00 and that misquote was important. (1) He said ‘The Closer’ was a masterpiece (2) He said HE is the most proficient comic of his time and it will be a decade before they get a talent like HIM again on stage - in a speech about PERFORMANCE at a PERFORMANCE SCHOOL highlighting what that building and school did for him. CONTEXT matters, and is important when it seems pretty clear that Rosenberg has a blatant narrative he is attempting to push on what comics can and can’t say. DL Hughley CHECKED him on it when he tried him and now he’s comin sideways tryna get Damon to pour spice on Dave Chappelle’s legacy. It’s weird, but consistent enough for the audience to notice. You CURATE art, fam. You don’t get to try and influence the lines folk can paint in. Play ya role.
I remember them when they first came out, couldn't wait for their shows to come on TV....😍 love these brothers ❤️
He dropped bars this wholeee interview!
My favorite Wayan bro
This is my dawg Damon an actual legend
A true Living Icon👑 The Wayans Family is just a phenom. 🙌🏾
We need blankman 2!!!
lmao blankman 2
Blankman is an extremely under-rated hit 💯
To me before Aries Spears, Damon Wayon is one of the most under rated comedians for the past few decades. He is that damn good!
His specials in the 90s are classic!
I would add Tommy Davidson to that mix...
@@valjeanlee7060 you are 100% correct!
Damon is the best !!
The Wayans are national treasures.
So good to see Damon again!! Childhood was amazing
I truly adore all the Wayans! They are black comedy royalty
The greatest comedy family on record!
Does anyone remember that Dick Gregory was an outstanding comedian and speaker?
He's a legend one of my all time favorites
Damon is my fav Wayans
Damon Wayans is hilarious he be having me cracking the hell up lol
