Kerry and Marlon Wayans on NYC, the Wayans legacy, and Growing Up in Comedy | Street You Grew Up On

[@captblk]

So excited to see/hear this quieter, more reflective version of Marlon Wayans. Great job, Ms. Washington, with tapping into this side of him.

[@watchyoutubeaccount1]

he trying to smooth talk Kerry 😂😂 Dude has game 😉

[@keshahunt1476]

I love how so many women always speak highly of Maron Wayans and how he also speaks highly of women in his life...he's one of my favorite actors/ comic

[@aprilfontenot9354]

Marlon is so cool. I love how he is so proud of his family and where they came from....

[@twiggynation.2779]

Marlon look hungry

[@talisha5863]

It was nice to hear Marlon acknowledge the importance of the younger generation picking up the mantle and keeping in contact with other family members. A lot of times we get so consumed with our individual lives and lose track of the need to maintain a connection with family. Sweet interview👏🏽

[@gospel3067]

When that picture went viral more Wayans came out the woodwork on social media. Sad they were unable to make it because of work. I was like dam, this family can start a new state.

[@dakotac180]

I love this, I like the more wholesome side of famous people.

[@acerkrt]

I was Marlons nextdoor nieghbor and frend for 20 years. We grew up together and would breakdance in our hallway on the 5th floor every night. His parents were wonderful. His dad Howell worked filling up the 25 cent toy vending machines and would give me keychain cap guns and plastic rings . Great memories. RIP to misses Wayans.

[@rainbow3649]

Wow! So u a real bro!!

[@ajboss924]

ACERKRT So was marlon a great break dancer? Because I always question if it was really him and shawn who break danced in white chicks

[@acerkrt]

@@ajboss924 Shawn was the best out of Marlon ,my brother and I but we were all good. I don't think it was them breaking in the movie tho. If you stop breaking after a while you haveto relearn. Like windmills and the harder moves takes constant practice for timing

[@ajboss924]

@@acerkrt thanks so much for answering my question dude

[@cj10109]

I love how in depth you go with your interviews. You can tell Marlon had a humble life and appreciates everything 💗

[@yami3960]

Awww when Marlon talked about his Mom on the window pane watching her kids playing outside, I immediately thought of Crooklyn. Its crazy how, maybe to them, their 1000 sq 4 bedroom was "poor like", but now in 2022, i wish i could afford a brownstone apartment like that in NY. Amazing interview!

[@lb1798]

I LOVE the concept of The Street You Grew Up On!!!!!!

[@Ldogg247]

I love the Wayans! But I connect with Marlon because of our ages and the era we grew up in. We really grew up in an awesome time. Black Hollywood emerged right in front of our eyes 😍

[@themamahoodexperience6238]

It was such a delight to listen to this.

[@nikie224]

I love the premise of this show. This is such a dope concept and unique way of interviewing (and getting to know) someone. It seems to tap into something really pure in the people. I find me asking myself the questions she asks. Love this!

[@thatssoairee]

Thank you for getting this interview! Still waiting on the documentary of the Wayans. They were instrumental in Black entertainment!

[@belindalindsey607]

Love Marlons heart. Good interview Kerry.

[@khrisi9410]

The Wayans era of funny will never be replicated. No one in this generation is funny. The Wayans, Eddie M, Martin era and all the greats before them was gut busting hilarious.

[@denisehopkins4885]

Wow this interview gives me chills. Here is someone not ashamed of where he comes from.

[@MawiyahJ]

He said "I miss breaking and entering" 😅 oooh Lord. Such a sweet interview.

[@tinishanewland4047]

I wanna cook him oxtail w/ festival and just ask him about their book (so good!). Hearing the peace and honor Marlon has with his journey is actually helping me process how I want to honor my own history. Respect 🙏🏿

[@KevinThomas-fl5xg]

Feel like this is what an AA family is supposed to do in this land....Get the money!....Keep it family!...Prepare the next generation!

[@tammykelly446]

This is one the best interview of any of my other favorite entertainers. This is one "HAND'S DOWN". I HAVE SEEN MR MARLON WAYANS IN OTHER INTERVIEWS HOWEVER THIS ONE TO ME WAS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH MR MARLON WAYANS. I like that. We've all been there.🙏🏿👍🏿

[@charlenebrownlow4677]

PTL Kerry & Marlon…beautiful interview, wonderful family values. Good success to all of them. This is an excellent comedic family.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏿!

[@Ag_Irish_71]

100% All True!! Everything Marlon said was Spot On!! The Wayans are a Great Family, they were my neighbors and dear friends of mine..So many Childhood memories are forever etched in my mind growing up together at 413 west 16th street 5th floor Fulton Projects!! Hey Marlon anytime you feel like breakdancing in the hallway, I'm down!! LOL..Great interview and Thank you for keeping it real and taking that walk down Memory lane..Hope to see you again real soon back in the old neighborhood!! Peace Brother and rember always, FULTON 4LIFE!!

[@rainbow3649]

U are his real brother

[@grQTbVMrZ]

Thank you Kerry for this interview! Been a huge fan of the Wayans since forever! His fans finally get to know him a little more personally about how he grew up, the precious family moments and more! Marlon is just so sweet, sentimental and funny as heck! Thank you Kerry!

[@milliemartin5024]

Luv ❤ this podcast Kerry and Marlon. So interesting and down to earth it's real life..cheers 👌😍

[@gretchennesmith9538]

I love how he keeping his family together. When the glue of the pass on the family goes there own way. They move out of town they don't attend family reunions. It's just sad. Much love to you Marlon. ❤❤❤❤

[@tobconnected]

This interview was awesome!! His Mother & My Mother sounds the same when it comes to a Mother's Love for her children. We had to be in the house when the street lights came on didn't matter how old you were. When we couldn't go out she would put on a show for us sitting down & being quiet while having a pound cake baking in the oven because she didn't want HER cake to fall ♡♡ LoL My Mother will be 97 on the 26th and she still keeps us laughing but will tell you off in a hot minute. Love this Family (especially Kim) Sincere condolences go out to the Wayans Family. Thank you Both for this interview.

[@aein_21]

I love Marlon. ❤️ This is actually the first time I hear him talk so calmly and not so energetic hehe 🤗 love him and the whole Wayans.

[@angieang26]

I think it depends on who the person is. You tend to adapt to the personality of the person you talking to. Me and my sister took care of a women who acted different to us. With me she was kinda quiet and calm because that's my personality. And with my sister she was loud and good acting. Because my sister was hood and ghetto acting. My sister told me the that our client personality with her was her real personality.

[@keshahunt1476]

Big families are the best...my mom has 6 girls and 6 boys and there's always fun, love and entertainment...we always say we don't need best friends because we got each other, so I get what he's saying about growing up with a big family

[@angieang26]

I'm glad you grew up in a close family. I had 7 siblings and I was only close to one. There are only four of us siblings left. The sister I was close to passed away and I'm not close to my living siblings.

[@sinatraartanis9285]

You guys make me proud! 🌸🌸🖤🤍💯

[@suthurnfaze1]

Wow never knew she was doing a podcast, ill be checking all of them out

[@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862]

[@isaiahshowell8841]

Learned more from him awesome conversation/interview

[@Execprod5]

I first saw The Street You Grew Up On last week. Your mother was your guest. I'm back in Jersey six years now after being in CA 32 years so I'm rediscovering the state and surrounding areas. I was curious about the Bronx so I told my sister we were going to take a drive to NY. We cruised to the Bronx on New Year's eve. It was hard to find a bathroom after our drive there so I bought a slice of pizza to use the facilities. We googled Simpson Street and drove over. We checked out the neighborhoods looking at the lights and marveling at a community that was new to us. Then we drove back to Jersey. Awesome guests and interviews! Keep up the great work!

[@lynettemokgano9009]

That head scarf Ms Washington ❤️❤️

[@maryshawn905]

Love me some Marlon. Thanks

[@ItsMeTashia]

Marlon is so dope! I need you to add some more questions I could have listened to him for a while!!

[@acerkrt]

Ask me..I grew up with Marlon as my nextdoor nieghbor. We usedto breakdance every night in the hallway on our floor

[@lb1798]

Every one of the Wayans children have said......Their mother was the funniest one OF ALL!!!

[@jenlgray9417]

Another great one. He is so insightful. I think your mother-in-law would be very interesting

[@nikkiatkins33]

Much RESPECT to the Waynes Family!!! Love this episode!!!

[@lxspa529]

I love how Kerry is pretending to understand the struggle lol. No shade to her, she’s so cute. But it sounds like Marlon nem grew up poor but were still a loving happy family. I always wished I had a lot of siblings. I have 3 but we aren’t close, I wish we were 😔

[@rainbow3649]

U are so right! That's exactly what I was thinking, poor Kerry,, Hahaha, if only she could relate, she'll know how much fun that life was!

[@angieang26]

​@@rainbow3649 I wasn't close to my living siblings. I'm still not close to them today.
