Wayans Family Left 'In Living Color' Over Syndication

Marlon Wayans recently discussed the Wayans family's departure from the groundbreaking show 'In Living Color' during an episode of Shannon Sharpe's podcast, 'Club Shay Shay.' He revealed that the family left the show due to financial struggles faced by his brother Keenen, stating, 'We all left In Living Color... F— this money.' The siblings staged a silent protest during the Christmas episode 'Driving Miss Schott' by wearing black glasses, symbolizing their solidarity and commitment to Keenen. Despite Fox's attempts to keep them with substantial offers, Marlon emphasized, 'I’m still a brother after this,' indicating their loyalty to family over financial gain. Following their exit, the show's quality declined, with Marlon noting, 'You can’t replicate Wayans’ s—t,' reflecting on the creative void left behind. 'In Living Color' was instrumental in launching the careers of many stars, including the Wayans siblings, and aired from 1990 to 1994.
