  • Coming from a legendary family but also stepping into your own iconic status is something that the Wayans are all too familiar with, as each generation from the funny-bone lineage, has managed to make a name for themselves while also continuing to carry the legendary name.
    Ahead of his stand-up show in Oxnard this weekend Shawn Wayans came through to the Power 106 studios to chop it up with Morning Show host Letty about his upcoming performance but also reflect on his successful career with his brother Marlon and how their comedic genius continues to penetrate Pop Culture after years of impacting television and film. With unforgettable films like ‘White Chicks.’ the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise and a hit television show under his belt, Shawn speaks on how the idea of nepotism has assisted in his career but has also created a close-knit family business.
    Detailing his come-up in comedy, and looking to his older siblings for inspiration, Shawn admits that he wanted to create his own ‘I’m Gonna Git You Sucka,’ a classic starring his older brothers Keenen and Damon. Shawn shares with Letty that ‘Don’t Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood’ was the step into his own lane.
    Shawn Wayans goes on to reflect on their Wayans Bros. show and much more.

    The Wayans Bros family is The Jacksons of comedy. Talented family up and down, Shawn and Marlon are the identical faces to Damon and Keenan. They did everything the exact same way, and was moved as two. It was perfect, then they brought it back when they all did movies together. It’s crazy man.

I loved all of their shows and movies. in living color, the Wayans bros, scary movie 1 & 2, white chicks, don't be a menace, little man. The list can literally go on for a while. Such a talented family. They will always be on my list for greatest comedians.

    I have an amazing story. One time I was driving home and I felt the presence of the Lord, come down to me from above. I started getting chills and I felt so comfortable with Him.
    I knew if I asked Him to play a song on the radio, He would.
    So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are..."
    I didn't know what station it was on or anything, but I turned the radio on and the song started playing right on the spot, perfectly...
    I started getting flooded with chills inside, and started crying. When I got home, He stayed with me for 10 minutes till I got out of the car.
    I've been getting answered prayers for around 5 years since, because that visitation eliminated doubt and I follow Biblical instructions as best as I can.
