Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans joins the show to talk about his standup on December 31st at Ft. Lauderdale Improv
Why is Marlon Wayans going at 50 cent? We're discussing this today.
Comedian and actor Marlon Wayans reflects on his incredible comedy education at In Living Color, where he learned from legends like Tommy Davidson, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, and Keenan Ivory Wayans. Wayans credits Tommy Davidson with teaching him that there are no small parts, only small actors, emphasizing Davidson's commitment to physicality and energy in every scene. He describes the experience as "comedy college" where watching these performers in their prime shaped him into the comedian he is today, leading to his belief that consistent hard work on the road performing stand-up is essential for longevity in the industry.The conversation explores Wayans' transition to screenwriting, beginning with his childhood inspiration from reading his brother Keenan's script for I'm Gonna Get You Sucka at age nine. He discusses co-creating comedy hits like Scary Movie, White Chicks, and Little Man before launching his semi-autobiographical NBC sitcom Marlon. Drawing from his real-life co-parenting experience, the show depicts a divorced couple who remain friends, vacation together, and prioritize their children's wellbeing—demonstrating that broken hearts and egos don't have to mean broken families. Wayans proudly announces that season two is even funnier than the first, attributing the success to working with a cast of longtime friends who keep each other laughing.

BT and Sal get a hilariously fiery interview with comedy legend Marlon Wayans, who unleashes a scorching take on "cancel culture." Wayans argues it's a fear-based illusion fueled by foreign bots and "scared executives," not what real audiences want, and declares his intent to bring back the "equal opportunity offender" laughter of In Living Color with the upcoming 'Scary Movie 6.' Marlon also opens up about the friendly jealousy among the famous Wayans brothers (and why he was their mother's favorite), reveals his "F these people" pre-show ritual for comedic fearlessness, and debates whether an Archie Bunker-style show could ever survive in today's hypersensitive world.
BT and Sal tear into the Jets' primetime matchup against the Patriots, with BT predicting a "bloodbath" given the team's struggles, while Sal holds out hope for a "competitive" showing to build on the Aaron Glenn era. In baseball, the hosts turn to the Hot Stove, fiercely debating how the Yankees and Mets must "load up" to compete with the Dodgers' high-spending, star-stockpiling strategy, fueled by the Ohtani deferral model. Sal proposes an aggressive trade: Marté over Chisholm for the Yankees. Finally, legendary comedian Marlon Wayans joins the show to talk about his return to Scary Movie 6, crushing cancel culture, and why he believes the world desperately needs "no holds barred" comedy like Archie Bunker to bring people together.
BT & Sal unleash a fiery Yankees offseason demand: Cody Bellinger is a "must-sign" that the team cannot afford to miss, arguing they must abandon "fair market value" and aggressively "load up." They dissect potential trades for Steven Kwan and Alex Bregman and float the nuclear option of trading Carlos Rodón. The Mets side of the Hot Stove is equally hot with a shocking report that Brandon Nimmo is being "spitballed" as a trade piece, signaling a massive philosophical shift for David Stearns. Sal airs a hilarious personal grievance against Alex Rodriguez, who texts everyone but Sal. Off the field, the hosts dive into a bizarre celebrity tangent, debating the definition of "swordsman" sparked by Sydney Sweeney drama, and welcome Marlon Wayans to discuss comedy and crushing cancel culture. The show wraps with a brutal assessment of the Jets' upcoming primetime game and a controversial NFL Power Up Ranking that leaves the Chiefs out of the top spots!
In this high‑energy episode, Marlon Wayans joins Gentry Thomas to give fans the full scoop on his nationwide stand‑up tour — the “Wild Child Tour.” Want to catch him live? Click here for dates and locations: MarlonWayans.com/live‑showsHe shares stories about what inspired the tour, how he crafts his live sets, and what audiences can expect from a night with Marlon. The conversation digs into Marlon’s early days in comedy and film, including his breakthrough roles in Scary Movie, White Chicks, and his beginnings on In Living Color. He also opens up about life’s more serious struggles—watching his older brother deal with crack addiction, learning lessons in brotherhood and responsibility, and how personal pain has shaped his funny, unfiltered voice. Marlon shares one of the wildest stories in his career: when singer Macy Gray angrily jumped on stage at one of his shows over a joke—what went down, how he handled it, and what he learned from it. Family remains at the center of everything. He discusses his relationship with his brothers and how they influenced each other creatively, and what family legacy means in the Wayans clan. This conversation is raw, hilarious, and deeply human—filled with laughter, life lessons, and the kind of behind‑the‑scenes honesty you don’t always get from a comedy star. Don’t miss it.

Then he'd go. And he'd come back with dinner." - Marlon WayansMarlon Wayans grew up watching his father combine faith with relentless action. Every single morning started the same way: Bible study, prayer, then that moment of looking up at God before figuring out how to feed 10 kids that day. His mother taught him something equally powerful but different: how to find joy in poverty, how to stay vulnerable when disappointments could easily make you bitter, how to love hard even when life is brutal. These weren't abstract lessons. They were daily survival skills that shaped everything about how Marlon approaches his work now. When Hollywood tells him to wait, when networks say they're booked until 2026, he hears his father's voice: don't wait for anyone to tell you you're ready.That mindset led him to self-fund his own comedy specials, film them on his terms, then license them to HBO and Amazon while keeping ownership. He's the guy who works three extra hours with his acting coach after a 14-hour shooting day because he refuses to show up unprepared. He drops a new hour of standup material every year, writing it live on stage while audiences think they're just watching a show. Most people fixate on what their parents did wrong. Marlon studied what they did right. That shift, that choice to extract wisdom instead of resentment from his upbringing, unlocked something fierce in him. His father taught him God and grit belong together. His mother taught him that joy is a choice you make, not a circumstance you wait for. Now he lives by a simple truth: everything is God, every closed door is redirection, and a thousand new doors are already open if you stop staring at the one that shut.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B, alongside super producer A-King and journalist Jayson Rodriguez, dives into a timely and layered conversation about the fine line between critiquing and hating — and how that distinction shapes modern culture, creativity, and discourse. The episode opens with an introduction and book promotion [00:00], followed by a warm welcome to Selective Ignorance [00:38] that sets the stage for an engaging and introspective discussion on the culture of critique and haters [00:57]. Mandii, A-King, and Jayson unpack the difference between constructive feedback and negativity, especially within the entertainment industry. Their conversation transitions into a broader dialogue on Black art and criticism [02:35], where they examine how cultural expression often faces unfair scrutiny compared to mainstream counterparts. The tone remains conversational yet insightful as they introduce the super producer [03:37] — with A-King adding a behind-the-scenes lens to the discussion — before diving into language learning and cultural references [04:16], exploring how global influences shape both art and perception. The hosts briefly pivot to Bad Bunny’s political commentary [06:16], discussing how artists use their platforms for activism and the public’s polarizing reactions to it. The energy stays dynamic as Mandii shares career updates and her new radio show [09:11], giving listeners a peek into her professional growth and reflections on navigating media spaces. This leads naturally into a deeper conversation about the music industry [16:24], the blurred lines between artistry and business, and the constant evolution of creative identity. As the dialogue progresses, the hosts examine the power of social media and public perception [21:35], analyzing how online platforms amplify both critique and hate. They consider the challenges artists face when every opinion becomes public property and every misstep a trending topic. The group transitions to expectations and criticism in art [28:23], exploring how audience bias, nostalgia, and personal preference influence what’s celebrated and what’s condemned. The conversation takes a cinematic turn as Mandii, A-King, and Jayson begin diving into film critiques [40:43], starting with Marlon Wayans’ film Him [41:39]. Mandii praises the project for its symbolism and layered themes [42:23], describing how it thoughtfully examines identity, faith, and self-reflection. The discussion briefly detours into football culture and American society [43:53], drawing parallels between competitive spirit in sports and the cutthroat nature of creative industries. Next, the team tackles critiquing the critics [46:27], reflecting on how discourse itself can become toxic — especially when audiences conflate differing opinions with hate. This meta moment sets up their review of Spike Lee and Denzel Washington’s ‘Highest to Lowest’ [52:49], where Mandii delivers an unfiltered yet thoughtful analysis of the film’s creative shortcomings and emotional intent. They analyze ‘Highest to Lowest’ in depth [56:15], exploring how execution, storytelling, and audience expectations intersect in shaping reception. As the discussion unfolds, they reflect on the art of critique and audience reactions [01:01:57], questioning whether social media has made honest conversation about art nearly impossible without backlash. The hosts then share their favorite films and personal preferences [01:13:43], grounding the discussion in a shared appreciation for storytelling and diverse perspectives. The episode wraps with final thoughts and an outro [01:19:17], where the trio emphasizes the value of open-mindedness, empathy, and balance when engaging with art — reminding listeners that critique, when done with care, is an act of love, not hate. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media Hey Assante Instagram @heyassante Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Gillie & Wallo chop it up with comedy legend Marlon Wayans and rising Hollywood star Tyriq Withers. The two are fresh off their new movie “HIM” now in theaters and they came through to drop some gems. Marlon keeps it all the way real about growing up in the Wayans family, what it's like on set, and why he's never been scared to piss people off with his comedy. Tyriq breaks down why he chose acting over sports, how Marlon put him on game, and what it felt like stepping into his first leading role in Hollywood. This one's full of laughs, real talk, and motivation for anybody chasing their dreams.
In the new horror film HIM, Tyriq Withers stars as a young football player who has a chance to be trained by his idol, played by Marlon Wayans. As they train at a mysterious facility in the desert, it becomes clear early on that greatness might not be worth the price. From director Justin Tipping and produced by Jordan Peele, the film takes some big swings you may not fully see coming.
