00:00All right, 105, Wonder Brown, Detroit, Stoback,

00:02for hip-hop and R&B.

00:03It's your boy, Showtime, the czar.

00:04I'm sitting here on the phone with a legend, man.

00:07I grew up watching the Wayans brothers,

00:09and he is just one half of it,

00:11but he's part of the illustrious Wayans family.

00:14I'm talking to the one and only Marlon Wayans.

00:16What up, though, Marlon?

00:17I'm good, brother.

00:18How you doing?

00:18I am great, man.

00:19So you will be in Detroit this weekend, right,

00:22February 8th, for your Wild Child Tour.

00:26I sure enough will be.

00:27I'll be in the B.

00:28We're going to have a good time.

00:29I always have great shows in Detroit.

00:31It's more like a party than it is a show.

00:34The way y'all be laughing, it always feels great in Detroit.

00:38This is your first tour in how many years?

00:42I tour, literally.

00:43I've been touring every year for eight years.

00:46Really?

00:46I have not stopped.

00:48And I come with new – I have a brand-new set every time.

00:51I don't do the same stuff.

00:53I come out.

00:54I do a special every year, and then I retire that material.

00:58So when you come see me live in your city, chances are that's a one-time experience.

01:06Okay.

01:06After that, I get rid of – I don't do that show no more.

01:09So last time I did Detroit, I think I was doing Good Grief.

01:12I'm on Wild Child, which is a completely different tour now.

01:15Okay.

01:15Talk about the name Wild Child Tour.

01:17Where did that name come from?

01:18Well, out of all my siblings, that would be me.

01:21And I just – you know, I can think it's a great name.

01:28It represents freedom.

01:29It represents the fact that I can go dark and find light, and I can be flexible and weird

01:38and physical and honest and raw and still be loved.

01:42So you're doing a new scary movie.

01:46Now, I heard that the last couple were not written by you or your brother or anyone in

01:52your family.

01:53This is – so now y'all got it back now, right?

01:54Is that correct?

01:55Is that how that works?

01:56Yeah.

01:57Yeah.

01:57Okay.

01:58So what made you want to do another scary movie film?

02:00I think the fans want it.

02:02I mean, you know, I think it was time.

02:03I think, you know, they tried to do it without us, and it just didn't taste the same.

02:07And it's like doing contemporary fried chicken without the colonel or, you know, trying to – it's

02:12like doing Frank's hot sauce without Frank, you know?

02:14There's only one Frank.

02:16So, you know, our thing, you know, we have a certain recipe and a certain formula and a

02:21certain point of view, and you can't take that from us.

02:24And so we're bringing that organic Wayne's point of view back to scary movie franchise,

02:30and it's going to be really funny, and you guys are really going to enjoy it.

02:34All right, one more thing before I let you get up.

02:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

02:37TV show Bel Air, you are – you have a reprising role as Will's father on there.

02:43Can you talk a little bit about what that role means to you and what made you want to

02:47do a role like that?

02:50You know, Will called me and asked me to do it, and, you know, it was a classic role that

02:56Ben Vereen had done and, you know, on his show, and I just thought it would be a cool

03:02thing to do, and I'm glad I did it.

03:04Got nominated for an NAACP at work, and I think it's some of my best dramatic work, you know.

03:11I got a lot of levels and a lot of things to showcase, so, you know, this is special.

03:17Yeah, I agree, man.

03:18Yeah, you – I really be getting into that.

03:20I like the character that you play, man, and you be having me kind of tear-jerking sometimes,

03:24because, you know, you do it so well, man, so it's super dope.

03:28But you'll be in Detroit this weekend, man.

03:30Thank you, brother.

03:30So we'll see you this weekend, February 8th at the Masanic Temple, man.

03:34We can't wait to see you for a while, y'all, so I appreciate you talking with us, man.

03:38All right, my brother.

03:39I'll see y'all at the Masanic Temple.

03:41Yes.

03:42Peace.

03:43Peace.

03:44Peace.

03:45Peace.
