Why Hollywood Won't Cast The Wayans Brothers Anymore

Unlike some other famous families, the Wayans don't need to participate in major Hollywood productions to make ends meet. Instead, they've had much success in the past just doing their own thing and working together to forge successful opportunities. 

For example, rather than signing up for a film franchise or a new TV series, the four major Wayans guys — Keenan, Damon, Shawn, and Marlon — went on a joint comedy tour in 2014. The tour was called, appropriately enough, The Wayans Brothers Tour, and it led the fabulous foursome to play theaters and casinos all across the United States. "We've all been doing standup — that's how we all started — and, over the years, we've just been too busy to do it all together," Keenen Ivory Wayans told New York Live at the time. "And now that we each have the time, we decided we want to go out and do this tour."

The family tour was apparently so successful that a year later, the brothers kicked off another Wayans comedy roadshow, once again featuring Shawn and Marlon as well as their nephew, Damon Wayans, Jr.

In 2018, Netflix released Woke-ish, Marlon Wayans' first-ever stand-up special.
