Damon Wayans on the "Arsenio Hall Show" (1994)

[@MPPharaoh]

Damon Wayans is a national treasure. He one of the only celebrities period that is synonymous with my childhood.

[@mresco]

Damon is surely the funniest brother and a great comedian and cool guy GOD bless the Wayans family they are so talented and blessed. Arsenio Hall had one of the best night shows.

[@jaychild78]

I would’ve passed out from exhaustion from laughter if Keenan came out as Arsenio Hall 🤣🤣🤣

[@mikekillagreen9432]

T-Bone was hilarious." Now go get me a girly magazine and some smokes"" they found him like a baby with a big dick". Speechless!

[@nunyabidness3429]

@@brentmeistergeneral6074 I think its funny because the Wayans is like Wu Tang in the sense that everyone has a favorite person. Personally I am partial to Damon, but I also really dig Shawn and Marlon (as a combo). Then you got Keenan who is like so mentally ahead of the game, especially back then. Then the undeniable talent of Kim. And that's just the 90's generation. Their kids and nephews/nieces are also very talented. Just a very talented family and we were a gift to grow up with them on our TVs and VHS/DVDs

[@DavidBrown-hl1sj]

Damon got SWAG yo real funny dude True Comedian

[@TCthaCrisis]

David Brown Was always my favorite

[@zro_dfects]

Hands down the best brothers on earth, they grew up poor together, got into comedy together, got into movies together, with what they have been through growing up, still was able to hold their heads up high and form the perfect brother bond that creates true love and respect to each other but in turn entertaining to us.

[@KeezyKilo1]

You can see Shawn & Marlon were kids at the time, with mature older brother, Damon. They had a lot of projects coming out. Blankman, Major Payne, Above The Rim, Don't Be A Menace, plus Keenan had Low Down Dirty Shane coming. Them cats was grinding. Gotta respect that. But why nobody brought up the parody of Arsenio Hall on In Living Color? I always wondered what was his opinion was on that.

[@cartoonworld1000]

Keezy Kilo I heard Keenan and Arsenio had beef and Arsenio didn't want it to affect the other Wayans

[@missayawk]

Keezy Kilo You noticed Arsenio didnt even wanna mention Keenan's name when they mentioned that Keenan had something coming out ("Shame")

[@liltexazboi361]

Yea keenan & eddie used to be real tight grew up togetha & sum way some how arsenio was jealous of they relationship & arsenio started throwin salt on keenan to eddie & keenan said eddie started actin kinda distant & funny towards him next thang uknow arsenio & eddie was tight as hell

[@DeANGELIS4735]

Damon Wayans was 33 years old going on 34 when this interview was filmed, Shawn was like 23 years old, Marlon was about 22 years old.

[@jimlaforte1755]

The Wayans were all fun and funny as fck. They pushed the envelope and made fun of stereo-types in all great fun. LOL! "In Living Color" was ground-breaking and helped build Fox into the network that it is today.

[@scampbell21]

I love this interview so much. Damon and the entire family are so fly. Love them all!

[@junebugspade7771]

Damon Wayans was such a force when I was growing up

[@josephharden5592]

Same 🤘🏽😁

[@3912James]

Kinda weird watching this clip and not picture Damon's older brother Keenan playing Arsenio. 😝😝😝😝😝😝

[@jimlaforte1755]

As a late night host, they made Keenan in to being "soft" and "likable" and his show was as bland as the suits that he wore. "In Living Color" was his baby and then he got too big and "soft." Less razor edged ripping on and dissing in his Comedy. He Jay Lenoed his razor sharp edge in order to fit in to main-stream. Brilliant none-the-less.

[@spiderpimp33]

SAME HERE!!! Especially when he laughed out loud. I instantly thought about KIW playing Arsenio and jumping, dancing and sliding across the floor. Lol!

[@simplyjuannie5128]

I heard Arsenio was mad about that. Guess he got over it.

Had no idea Paul Mooney wrote for _In Living Color._

[@D2Kprime]

1977. I knew that Paul Mooney wrote material for Richard Pryor most of his career. Did not know this. What does someone's age have to do with lack of information? No one knows anything until they _know_. It was not a life goal of mine to know all of Paul Mooney's job history or any other grown man. If this came across as harsh then I apologize, but I don't like to be talked to in a condescending manner.

[@D2Kprime]

BADAZZTHANG​​​ Ad-homiems show not only insecurity, but a lack of intelligence. That whole dissertation of yours became null and void when insinuated that I'm "slow." Instead of just taking the L like an adult and admit you misspoke, you decided to try (and fail miserably) to salvage your mistake and compound the matter by insulting me further. That's okay though. If this is what you need to do to feel good about yourself, then I'm glad I was able to play my part. Now of course you will try to respond with more witty repartee, but your predictable and transparent response exposed you better than I ever could. *YOU* are done.
