In 2004, the Wayans brothers released a little movie called White Chicks. Twenty years later, it is still influencing others!
Yesterday, when The Minnesota Vikings’ Josh Metellus and Camryn Bynum scored an interception against the Atlanta Falcons, the two Safeties did a Safety Dance. Sorry, wrong song. They did the dance that Marlon and Shawn Wayans did in the comedy. And they nailed it.
Talking about nails. The two football players were just six years old when the film came out.
CBS changed things up this season, and they added Poppa’s House and NCIS: Origins to their Monday night schedule.
Today, the network announced that both shows were picked up for a full season.
“NCIS: ORIGINS has added a brilliant new dimension to the NCIS franchise with an origin story of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and a cinematic ’90s experience that features distinct characters, stories and crime solving. POPPA’S HOUSE excels with the dynamic father/son chemistry between Damon and Damon Jr. and their family-inspired stories that bring this comedy to life. These shows fit seamlessly into our Monday night lineup while resonating with viewers on CBS and Paramount+,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment.
If you have not seen Poppa’s House, you should check it out. The Wayans bring a lot of funny to comedy which also has smart humor.
The Monday shows join CBS’s other two shows Matlock and Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage with additional episode orders. Matlock was picked up for a second season, while the Chuck Lorre comedy will be around all of this season.
It has been 23 years since the Wayans Brothers released a Scary Movie. Today, Marlon Wayans announced that he and his brothers are back to make fun of Horror movies.
Marlon wrote, “WE’RE BACK!!! After nearly 20 years, the Wayans brothers are finally going to give the fans what they’ve been asking for… a return to the SCARY MOVIE franchise!
“We’re looking forward to having fun on the big screen again.”
I can’t wait to see what movies they are going to parody because they have a lot of material to choose from, like M3GAN, Cocaine Bear, Terrifier, and Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, to name a few.
Someone posted an article saying that Marlon Wayans looks amazing for being 50 years old.
As soon as the actor read that, he decided to share his secret to looking younger than his years. What is it? “The secret…the inner smile,” Wayans wrote. “Don’t let anybody steal your smile.”
They can’t steal what they can’t see. They just don’t have to know that what they are looking for is right there in plain sight.
So smile! It doesn’t matter if it is on the outside or the inside. It just matters that you do it!
