Marlon Wayans Defends Not Casting Tiffany Haddish in His Movie

Guest host Tiffany Haddish and Marlon Wayans have been friends for a long time, so she took the opportunity to ask him why he’s never cast her in any of his movies! Marlon also chatted about how they first met, reminisced about a party at Eddie Murphy’s house, and thanked Tiffany for featuring his niece Chaunté in her Netflix comedy special, “Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready.”

I LOVE that he answered honestly and said she just wasn’t ready at the time and needed to mature as an actress. That’s what people who actually like and care about you do: keep it real

He doesn't respect her period and I hope if she gets her own show she leaves him right where he is and not "hire" him to come on her show.

They are so funny together. Marlon is right when he spoke about maturity. How he’s been preparing for thirty years for the roles and opportunities he’s getting today.
