The actor, best known for his roles in “White Chicks” and “Scary Movie,” shed light on a peculiar incident during a joint interview with PEOPLE.


As Marlon discussed his exciting guest appearance on his brother Damon Wayans Sr.’s CBS sitcom, “Poppa’s House,” he reminisced about a peculiar incident that unfolded within their family group chat. Recalling the chaotic nature of their conversations, Marlon humorously revealed, “I muted one. There’s always one person begging to be removed from the chat!”
The Wayans family, known for their comedic prowess and close-knit bond, found themselves at the mercy of a stranger who inadvertently joined their private chat. Damon Wayans Sr., Marlon’s brother and fellow actor, shared insights into the dynamics of their group chats, revealing the challenges posed by different time zones and ongoing conversations.
Amidst the amusing chaos of their family interactions, Marlon credited his older brother, Keenen Ivory Wayans, for a peculiar twist in their group chat saga.

For Marlon, the incident added an extra layer of comedy to his guest appearance on “Poppa’s House.” Portraying the character of Melvin, the younger brother of Damon Sr.’s character, Marlon found art imitating life. Reflecting on his on-screen role, Marlon shared, “I love begging Damon for work. No, I called him. I wanted to do his show. My brother is on TV. I like to support my brother.”
The episode, titled “Melvin,” aired to the delight of fans on Monday, March 24. The storyline follows Melvin, the smooth-talking brother of Poppa, as he embarks on a questionable get-rich-quick scheme. Marlon’s seamless integration into the show highlighted the natural chemistry and comedic timing shared within the talented Wayans family.
In addition to Marlon and Damon Sr.’s on-screen collaboration, the sitcom “Poppa’s House” features appearances from Damon’s son, Damon Wayans Jr., and is directed by their sister, Kim Wayans.
