Wayans changed television along with his brother Keenan Ivory Wayans with his ground-breaking and hilarious sketch-comedy show “In Living Color.” The show with a mostly Black cast was one of the most popular shows on television in the 1990s. It also launched the careers of several of Wayans’ siblings, as well as Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier, Tommy Lee Davison and Jamie Foxx.
In 2001, Wayans created his own show “My Wife and Kids” which was a family sitcom that lasted five seasons.
While fans are all for it, as of yet, there is no official word on a “Verzuz” between Wayans and Chappelle.
