He's such a handsome man, not to mention hilarious.

[@naimshakir3569]

Loved Marlon's story. My mom is battling dementia at the moment and I am so happy that I decided many years ago to make her my friend instead of just my parent.

[@mayflower7811]

Marlon always found the funny during a sad time. That's his way of finding the light through the darkness

[@QbnAmCan]

I’ve got the first 3 seasons of In Living Color. I still laugh until I’m crying as I’m quoting some of the stuff to my family and friends. Men on Film. Homeboys Shopping Network. So many laughs 😂🤣😂🤣 Thank you Wayans family.

[@marcblair3781]

he meant flexing his arms....that's why he said, "Nobody plays drums like this"(showing off his muscles) and did a flex pose while acting like he's playing drums...he's talking about how buff he is..

I need to start wearing dark sunglasses to work (not the Lennon ones, but Matrix-style). Just last week my crazy director interrupted a group Teams call to say she felt my "laser eyes boring through to the back of her skull" - and then picked back up with the end of her thought. And I recently have been gifted problem projects so I can give unruly contractors looks that could kill. Others words, not mine. I'm not angry, just thinking (and maybe some of that thinking is that someone else in the room is crazy-pants, but that's private thoughts). It's been a problem probably for all my life. In my twenties a friend said she got in trouble for rolling her eyes. She called me because she said she knew I could relate. Ugh. And now I have to pack my Mrs. Potato Angry Eyes when I go into work. It's a burden and a gift. But I digress.

[@blackpointmaine]

P.s. Thank you, Marlon.

[@LadyBloodyGiven]

My mom died last year. And my dad has learned I'm handling this well with scarcasm.

[@ReileiRomo]

Omg 😂😂😂

[@Sharibaby80]

I just watched white chicks a few days ago as my teenage son recovers from ACL surgery. Laughter truly is the best therapy! Thank you Marlon and I love your story.

[@oddligames1592]

My baby daddy

[@TheElFamilyofstars]

❤❤❤❤ Great book 📕

[@KristineMaitland]

POINTS to Jason Kirshner, illustrator of Epic Story Time with Marlon Wayans. They really ought to publish it and give the money to charish. By the by, was it Happy Wayan Day or Happy Wednesday? I think Kelly and the Jason misheard.

[@vvorthabilly]

me being born on a Wednesday 😅

[@euleniabell4361]

[@jasminew8835]

It's all fun and games until it ain't.

[@preacher_chick]

Kelly needs to slow down and listen I thought it was controlled 🤦🏽‍♀️ (some guests lead Marlon is one)

[@jdahnscott]

Why don't he and Mariah get together?!?

[@ardellacfuiellsalimia7836]

Was this a good story?! 😮

[@Agent-wn7le]

Aging well

[@user-fd2xi9dx9u]

No no no....I don't celebrate Christmas because parents should be looking for missing children around this time of year...mothers place pressure on dads to go in debt big time and suicide is highest...and this should also be the time of year fathers check their childrens DNA because while you're away at work providing, moms get lonely and fathers end up raising a secret society of children they aren't related to. We need Happy DANA day! Dad's take your wives and your kids to get DNA tested around winter time and summer time and celebrate that your family is indeed 100% your family. We should celebrate people who DON'T LIE and honor those people. We should also completely cast out the users, liars and that is the mask hypnosis of the Holiday. Black Sabbath the Pagan Shadow of Christmas Undergrounds Day the Shadow Holiday of Groundhogs Day or Trail of Tears the Shadow of Thanksgiving or Independence Day the day we celebrate the Queen has legal charter of the President of the United States and answers to Roman Catholic Church. I am not stupid and I don't want my friends or family to ever expect me to be a coward. If you don't like saying the truth...stay away from, don't be my friend, don't pretend smile around me, but if you are my friend, we are gonna have a heck of a good laugh exposing the clowns, leaps of logic, the nonsense and the knowing we are indeed not FOOLS. See, the true trick of America is we Celebrate Fools Day everyday and we relish it to the delusion it's a single day. If you can't laugh at that and see the humor in that....then yes...I suggest you hold VERY strongly to holidays that validate you vapidness, your softness, your whimp neck and gelatin spines...but over here I'm pointing and laughing screaming look at those worms wiggle and jiggle. Happy DNA DAY!! Have mercy on the folly of fools! PEACE

[@justincastillogayray]

We do laugh at the movies.

[@iceg1231]

Kelly you must shut up when your guests are speaking. You have to let people talk, it's your show, ok, we got it, but you have very good guests...

[@Jazzyone246]

I dont know why he lied and said he didnt want to get married because he didnt want to put any woman before his mom. when him and shawn said they didnt want to get married because keenan wife took almost all his money after the divorce i dont know why people lie over dumb s**t..

[@sheraydunbar729]

Ohhhh wooowww

[@afeshiabullen6117]

Both things can be true right?

[@Jazzyone246]
