Damon Wayans is just as great in his own right

Thank you for doing this piece on Damon! He is my favorite Wayans and the funniest, hands down! He never got the notoriety he deserved. Hollywood and Critics always want to put our people in boxes. They approach us cause they either liked what they saw or heard but then they want to change you & mold you into what that see you as. Sorry, it don't work like that. If you like them when you first seen them, then go ahead and work with them as they are...don't try and change them. We loose our AUTHENTIC selves when you try to mold us into what you want. Let Us be Us!!

Hate it when these "the NEXT so and so" comparisons are made. I think it diminishes the unique talents and skills of the individual being considered...really it's a borderline insult disguised as a underhanded compliment. I can't imagine any artist seeking to be the next anybody, rather than the first them

He had his very own style of comedy so he didn't need to be eddie murphy and he's very humble and down to earth.

Major Payne is one of my most watched movies. Loved it growing up and I think it holds up.

Damon is super successful in his own right.

Dude, his family and a ton of his characters and roles are iconic still to this day. From "The Last Boyscout" to "Major Payne" he is forever etched into the culture and our comedic memories...both are still showing somewhere on TV, right now, and even more significantly being watched and enjoyed! And his "My Wife and Kids" sitcom showcased all kinds of powerhouse talent, also still beloved, watched and enjoyed by millions. Why be like Eddie M. when you can just be yourself and become a living legend, In Living Color ?!? Y'all already know, "Homie don't play dat!"👊🏿🤡🤬

He played the hell outta Pierre Delacroix on *Bamboozled*

Damian took the Malcolm X approach and did for himself & his family, look how he benefited. The Wayans singly handled created more opportunities for comedians, dancers and actors than SNL ever would. I don't even remember the last time I actually saw an SNL episode and honestly don't even care. SNL is like baked unseasoned mayo marinade chicken with some bland roni rice while ILC is like soul food, flavorful fried chicken with oven macroni & cheese with some green beans on the side. We as black people need to make our own opportunities and stop begging everyone else to get a spot in theirs.

Eddie Murphy vs Sinbad? Who's best

Way underrated and very talented. Loved his standups.

Damon Wayon, is cool as Damon Wayons. He was just another one of our very funny comedians. We had so many of different varieties, we didn't need another Eddie. Eddie was just the best after Richard. Back then originality was what it was all about, having your own style, and that was in every form of entertainment.

Comparison is unnecessary, I believe Murphy & Wayans are comedians in their own right & style, same with others.

"He didn't wanna be" well damn

the answer was so simple but the way you broke it down was amazing. great content

Damon's got some serious talent! Any studio that wants to make money should sign him on to produce/act/direct ten feature films; and give him creative license over everything. When you allow someone if his calibre talent to express themselves freely, it spells M-O-N-E-Y!

RIP Mama Wayans 🙏🏿❤️🙏🏿

Wayne was brilliantly funny is his own right along with the other greats comedians who came before him 💯💯💯💯

I Love Damon Wayans comedy always my favorite ❤ I wish i seen him in more comedy/standup He's Hilarious

In the mid 90's after In Living Color ended, MTV stopped playing music videos and rap music turned gangsta, the media became "The Drive By" media and entertainment and humor went to the gutter. He was blessed to have a career in spite of all that.

Damon Wayans is a G, Bamboozled was dope and even more relavant today, he knows what's up.

But even his flops are ALL cult classics. Lmao That’s crazy

I literally had no idea Damon was on SNL.

I just applaud the family dynamic. He got everyone on board. They family is Soooo Big lots of talent there. RIP mama Waynes

Also learn that Eddie was on SNL from 1980-1984. That's four years of watching him go from a cast member who had no lines in sketches, to saying maybe a sentence in a sketch, to damn near the writers feeling they need him to say a sentence or just something like, "Damn man" to keep the audience engaged in the sketch.

@Alex Kanyima - As former musician and band director G. E. Smith said about SNL, it became all about money after the third show. The first two was about being funny, after that, money. Eddie's presence was money to the show and NBC. Eddie showed how invaluable he was when Nick Noltie was scheduled to host, got arrested during an alcohol related incident, and Eddie was asked to host while being an active show member and the show was a financial success. Once that happened, it's been claimed that was the turning point, because it showed he had outgrew the show. There was once an opening skit where Eddie was rumored to be sick and could not do the show, and the cast members were debating they could fill his vacancy. One said they could do Gumby (l'm Gumby, Dammit), another imitated Buckwheat. As I said, you all where not living or had been old enough to see for yourself it play out in real time.

In Living Color was GENIUS.

The Last Boyscout is in that top tier of buddy action flicks up there with 48 Hours and Lethal Weapon imo! That football stopping the sniper bullet scene...🏈💥

Keenan Ivory Wayans and Eddie Murphy are friends and he wrote for Eddie on Raw so I don't think Damon being in a movie with Eddie was coincidental. When Eddie was on SNL Loren Michaels had left the show so Eddie had more creative control. The question is if Loren Michael had stayed would Eddie have had the same freedom? It seems the industry only likes 1 black comedian at a time.. They're always comparing the new to the "old" They did it with Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby /Richard Richard/Eddie Murphy.. They do it with Kevin Hart and the new Comedians of today.. Godfrey talks about that in another video. Producer's looking for the next "Kevin Hart".. It's like with rap artists they're always pitted against each other..

He never became Eddie Murphy because he’s Damon Wayans and his name carries his own wait!!! Major Payne, Blankman, Mo Money, In Living color like the list goes on he’s hilarious period!!!

"he didn't want to" was the part, D rather be genuine to his craft.

The problem is we don't have our own major platform, seeking validation from folks looking to control our narratives with money, and opportunities.
