- 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 are legends!!!! They need to get more praise and credit
Factuals
They're a bunch of sellouts. All they did was make an ass out of Black people for a paycheck.
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.
Been awhile since Shawn been doing press. Good to hear from him
💯
Yeah gang I saw bro an had to click
Indeed
It really is I don't hear from him much but these dudes been around tv for so long it's not a surprise they don't want the limelight 24/7 and probably enjoying some peace
Too bad he doesn’t act anymore hes a DJ now
The Wayans Brothers classic sitcom i still watch to this day. dope interview i ain't seen Shawn come out in a minute
Me too bro! I watch reruns every night on BET and reminisce of my childhood years. Can't believe it's been since the middle 90's since it first aired? Time flies bro! 😪
@Real Ryte facts
That’s a fact
Marlon may be the one out front right now, but I think Shawn is the one who invested his money the best. He probably doesn't have to do as much as Marlon.
@@msnos6245 still tho Marlon was in a movie with 2pac he underrated real ni44a
*”Don’t Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood”* is a contemporary classic. Amazing comedy truly lasts forever.
Just watched it last night. So damn good
I bought the unrated edition last week lol
it's in my top 5 favorite movies. the Wayans family is beyond talented!
Message.
You mean south central 🤔
Whenever I get depressed and lonely and lose faith in humanity I watch comedy and movies like Scary Movie and such and that brings me back to life and my happy childhood memories and innocent fun times !
This
This may sound extremely weird but so do I ! It’s so refreshing 🙏
That’s a fragile existence.
Get some business about urself. Pitiful.
I watch don’t be a menace and be good lol.
Man I hate how dimension films did the Wayans. These men are comedy legends. 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.
💯 but karma a b***h! Look at Dimension now
Mo money blank man
The interviewer was amazing. Her genuine interest in Shawn’s projects and respect for the Wayans family as a whole made this such a cool interview to watch. The high five was legendary. Inspiring interview for sure!
A great interviewer . That’s how it’s done. Instead of just reading que cards ask questions from a fans view as well and you’ll get good dialogue .
She was cool as hell bro
I’ve seen Shawn live at a stand up show, he’s absolutely amazing. I love the Wayans and they deserve all the love and respect they get, actually they deserve more!
The Wayans family are legends they been putting in work since the 80's
You can tell Shawn made her childhood 🔥🔥💯💯 at the end
Can’t get over the glasses over hat look lol Glad to see him making rounds
DAWG..this shyt is blowin my mind😂
Yooo dis goofy ass mf dressed like a 50 year old raider fan 😭😭
Looking crazy
He was looking like a square at the time on Wayans Bros but in retrospect, bro was fly as af so I’m buggin seeing this look on him 😂. He’s apart of a legendary family and paid his dues to he can do what he wants in all honesty
He always got that type of style 😂
The interviewer was on point! U can tell she grew up in that era 🔥 shout out to her
A living legend give their family their flowers
🌺 💐 🌹
My pops (RIP) turned me onto In Living Color when I was a kid. Shawn and the Wayans family definitely added to the joy in childhood! I STILL watch and quote their films and probably still will til the day I die! Glad I got to experience them in my lifetime
She’s a great interviewer! Shout out to the Wayans, they all legends 🤘🏻
I want whatever Sean, and the rest of his brothers, are taking cause they don't age a day! Good to see him again cause it's been a minute. 🙌

I’ve never heard any negative press about the whole family and that’s extremely rare.
Really rare I love it for them
Damon got labelled a diva a few times but that's about it. Very impressive.

Man we love you Shawn so much ! It’s sad to see most of them behind the scenes now, but business is great ! I’m just old so I would love a years worth of seeing them on camera again 😭 these new people don’t do acting like this anymore
That thumbnail pic of Chucky 😂
Definitely loved the passion of the interviewer. She killed it with her knowledge, personality, and enthusiasm.

Great interview Shawn doing stand up is something Ive never seen

Don’t be a menace, scary movie 1&2 and the wayans bros were some of my favorite things to watch growing up! Love the Wayans
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.
His glasses over his beanie was catching my eyes, but the Wayans Brothers are awesome 👌🏾
Crazy i was on a Wayans Family binge, Scary moVie and so on...This was a super dope interview. Vibes and energy on point 🤘💛😋✌️shout out the DJ too! Newer generation peepin the blueprint..? Ideas anyone.
Letty did an amazing job this interview. The questions and verbiage used left no stone unturned.
Is Shawn okay? I see him wear glasses a lot! And idk something just seems off….I really hope he’s okay I love the wayans bros! I watch it everyday on HBO Max. Love seeing him do this interview.
Probably going bald.
He don't wear them during his stand ups.
