Marlon Wayans on Drink Champs Podcast

 When you're an interview show, it doesn't matter if your audience is young or old, black or white, or rich or poor. Your guest to be interviewed has to be someone usually well-known enough to attract listeners or viewers, and entertaining enough to keep them interested.

Thankfully, the Drink Champs podcast was able to interview comedian / actor Marlon Wayans this week on its April 7th episode. Wayans is a genuinely funny guy with some stories of interest to relate.

Drink Champs podcast will cover Marlon Wayans' new HBO Max special, God Loves Me, his past and current acting roles, and comedy career. During the episode (# 357), Wayans will share stories of his career, his family, the sketch comedy show In Living Color, and much more. 

Marlon Wayans -- nearly 51 years old - is best known for his work with his brother Shawn Wayans on The WB sitcom The Wayans Bros. from 1995 to 1999. His comedy films Don't Be a Menace (1996), Scary Movie (2000), Scary Movie 2 (2001), White Chicks (2004), Little Man (2006), and Dance Flick (2009) all scored well at the box office and with the audience.

Wayans has appeared in numerous comedy films including Above the Rim (1994), The 6th Man (1997), Norbit (2007), The Heat (2013), A Haunted House (2013) and its sequel A Haunted House 2 (2014), Naked (2017), Fifty Shades of Black (2016), Sextuplets (2019), and On the Rocks (2020). Wayans had a dramatic role in the psychological drama film Requiem for a Dream (2000), which saw his departure from the usual comedies.

Wayans partnered with Randy Adams to create What the Funny, an online destination for urban comedy. He created the comedy competition television show Funniest Wins, which aired on TBS in 2014. In 2014, Wayans and his brothers traveled the U.S. with "The Wayans Brothers Tour." In 2017, he co-wrote and starred in his own NBC sitcom, Marlon, which ran for two seasons.

In case you didn't know, in Drink Champs, well-known Queens rapper-turned-show-host N.O.R.E. teams up with Miami hip-hop pioneer DJ EFN for a night of boozy conversation and boisterous storytelling. The hosts and guests engage together in a fun, light-hearted conversation - looking back at their paths to success, highlighting their lives, friendships, and iconic moments within their careers.
