"Hollywood didn't want him no more because he just did this thing called Duck Factory, which bombed... Keenen was like, 'He's hilarious.' From there, he put him on and he let Jim go buck wild."

💯Those of us who are old enough to remember know Jim Carrey was floating around Hollywood for YEARS (early to mid / late 80's); we watched him in various stand-up specials and movies. It was obvious he was talented, but for whatever reason Hollywood didn't see his star potential. When Jim popped up on In Living Color' basically doing the same stuff he was known for in addition to new show material, the country got to EVERY WEEK how funny he was. He wasn't under utilized. Without In Living Color he Jim wouldn't have gotten the exposure he needed to become a star.

4:17 FACTS!!! It literally shaped my personality out helped me discovered it. Born in 1987 and a silly girl, this show fit me. I related to Jim Carey the most😂

[@eddiec818]

Love this insight by Marlon Waynes. His older brothers helped so many individuals not just knock on the door but knock it down. Love it.

[@kyriskustoms2172]

Damon is definitely the unmentioned goat… He was and still is one my favorites..

[@user-vv1er7lz8t]

In Living Color changed the world... put on for the culture for sure... the Wayans are legends!!!

[@vengeancewillbemine3440]

Growing up jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy was my favorite actors they never failed to make me laugh, but also everyone knowed comedy was a wayans brothers family trade and appreciated their familys amazing talent.

[@seth3054]

Marlon... he gives props to all his friends and not focusing on himself... how cool is that

[@xhagast]

Lol, he credits everyone with making him the prodigy, genius and wonder that he is.

[@palmsquad4]

I don’t know man. He’s propping himself up quite a bit it without prompting. Lol. Obviously he has some resentment towards show business and has been wanting a platform to discuss it. I get it, he deserves it. I don’t think you can say he isn’t focusing on himself though.

[@xhagast]

@@palmsquad4 He really is. Still, he is doing it in a classy way.

[@AaronSomes]

ILC was such a part of my childhood (I’m 44) as it’s ingrained in who I am as is for many of my friends. That show gets quoted TO THIS DAY in a not so infrequent amount of times.

[@AsailorsWifeToo]

Legend Marlon and love him❤❤Never did anything that the media had to run and tell and always a positive figure. Much love to the Wayans family

[@mzwilson5849]

Don't be a Menace, Scary movie & In Living Color all funny 😂

[@LA-yv5us]

Marlon is an amazing and animated story teller, I love when he imitates his brothers especially Keenan 😂

[@healer81]

I consider myself very fortunate on witnessing their families success. Everyone in their family is definitely underrated

[@WPT1776]

"In Living Color" is hands down one of the best sketch comedy shows of all time. I'm so glad I grew up watching that spectacle on TV.

[@michaeldipsey332]

Jim Carrey is my favorite actor of all time. He’s amazing.

[@jb-ze1yh]

I met Shawn and Marlon back in the early 2000s. They were so nice to us, teenagers, treating us like little sisters; the nicest most polite guys. Great family. He is 100% spot on, they have love.

[@xhagast]

And meanwhile Disney and Nickelodeon produced broken child stars.

[@aseanra]

Bruh that story about “Don’t be a menace” is 🔥

[@sat0sh139]

Absolutely love the way he talks about people in his life. Humble, respectful and full of love. The world would be a much better place if more of us were like this.

[@NoName-cz3wn]

His Damon is so funny. I would've loved to hear "now how do you feel aboucho self?!" (Totally dissed, Homey) "Thats why Homey don't play dat"

[@ChrisMovieUniverse]

Jim Carey been invited at BBQs

[@AndreThompson-yx3zq]

[@abdirisakawes6544]

Marlon Wayans: What a legend!

[@JayzoTheNextKobeBryant2.0]

Same Here

[@mdot102]

Yup

[@colorfulme2552]

Kim will always live free in my head talking about Mrs Jenkins 😂😂😂

[@joelogan1452]

One of the greatest comedy show ever made and it was from my generation!!! Everybody on that show became a superstar. Man how I miss those days. Now a days nobody gets discovered they just do stuff that doesn’t need writing tic toc and you tube and a washed up music industry. Sports is all we got left. Thanks Shannon for bringing on a comedy legend!

[@lhart99]

I grew up on In Living Color from day ONE. I was 10 years old when that show first aired in 1990. ILC's impact on my taste in comedy, love of comedy, and outlook of comedy is immeasurable. I am forever indebted to the Wayans family and entire crew of ILC.

[@NikkoCara]

Marlon is my favorite! His humor is mine! And I’m crushing on him since the 90’s

[@SashaWillis-lp5ey]

Mines tooooo
