Leah BHOST
And she always had something to say about everybody, which was so funny to me.
Leah BHOST
[chuckles] And the last two Wayans that I wanna talk about is Shawn and Marlon Wayans, and they became later, uh, became, uh, major stars in film and television.
Leah BHOST
So their connection to In Living Color helped establish the Wayans family as one of the most recognizable comedy families in entertainment.
Leah BHOST
And the show became the most important part of their early careers, and eventually they went on to create and star, uh, in projects like Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.
Sam JordanHOST
He stopped acting in about 2002, so don't know what he's doing, but good-looking guy, strapping guy, seems like a leading man, potential kind of guy.
Sam JordanHOST
And coming up a little later, Robo played by Sean Wayans, actor, comedian, writer.
Sam JordanHOST
He made his debut as a pedestrian in I'm Going to Get You Sucker in 1988.
Sam JordanHOST
And this role here, MacGyver, is his very next time he's on a screen three years later.
Sam JordanHOST
And then, of course, he'd be on In Living Color.
Sam JordanHOST
And then with his brother, Marlon Wayans, he wrote and starred in the WB sitcom The Wayans Brothers and Don't Be a Menace, Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2, White Chicks and more.
Sam JordanHOST
So that's Sean Wayans.
MarkGUEST
Kimberly Scott was also on another series at the exact same time as MacGyver.
Brittany JohnstonHOST
white chicks is one of my all-time favorite movies so i
Dean LoreyGUEST
mean we had just in in the writer's room we had uh damon wayans senior damon wayans jr uh sean wayans kim wayans uh michael wayans um these are the people directly directly in the room like yes i think the I think those are the Wayanses that were working directly on the show.

Marlon is little.
NezHOST
But returning cast characters, there's a lot of them in this.
NezHOST
Of course, Marlon and Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Academy Award nominee Tiana Taylor.
NezHOST
She was in it for like a second.
NezHOST
She was hella funny.
NezHOST
Shorthand, he's hella funny in this.
NezHOST
And of course, anything dealing with the Waynes, they gotta bring in their aunt, Kim Waynes.
NezHOST
and Damon Wayans Jr. pops up in this he's hella funny and Heidi Gardner from Saturday Night Live she's in this and then there's a bunch of other people in this film but alright scary movie did they need to make this? no Did they just go overboard with the raunchy comedy? Yes, they went really overboard.
NezHOST
Again, I couldn't tell you what the difference was between the extended and the rated R version.
Ami ChunGUEST
And everything that's not for me, I don't want any part of.
Lainey LuiCORRESPONDENT
The Wayans brothers bring the franchise they helped create with Scary Movie to streaming this week.
Lainey LuiCORRESPONDENT
And for Marlon Wayans, this isn't just another sequel.
Lainey LuiCORRESPONDENT
It's a full circle moment more than two decades in the making.
Marlon WayansSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
For me personally, I just think, you know, it's very, I would say satisfying to know that the audience wants to laugh, the audience needs to laugh.
Lainey LuiCORRESPONDENT
Scary Movie is back, and this time, the Wayans family is back in control.
Lainey LuiCORRESPONDENT
We back! Written and produced by brothers Marlon, Keenan Ivory and Sean Wayans, the new film marks their first return to the franchise since Scary Movie 2 in 2001.

Greg, what do you got?
Greg HoeyGUEST
I got Don't Be a Menace in South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, the ultimate spoof from the Wayans Brothers, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans.
Greg HoeyGUEST
It's spoofing Menace II Society, it's spoofing Boyz n the Hood, Juice, New Jack City, all that stuff.
Greg HoeyGUEST
It's a great palate cleanser, I think.
Ashley PageHOST
Very interesting.
