We ain’t the ones to gossip but…
After nearly 40 years in showbiz, legendary comedian Kim Wayans is funnier than ever with a hit movie in theaters, a new Youtube series, and indelible legacy that grows more iconic by the social media trend.
What started with culture-shifting sketch comedy series In Living Color evolved into a history-making Wayans family renaissance that continued with Kim finally joining Shawn and Marlon in the Scary Movie franchise.
When asked why her Scary Movie debut took so long, Kim joked that we should direct that question to her brothers, Shawn, Marlon, and Keenan.
“When you talk to the brothers, ask them why is Kim just getting her invitation now, OK? Get Marlon, Keenan, and Shawn on the phone and ask them (laughs).”
“You know, I love working with my brothers and it’s true, we grew up together so we do know each other and have a particular comedic dynamic between us, especially Marlon and I.”
“We’d love to go toe-to-toe and see who can be the most desperate, you know, who can pull the bigger laugh by doing something so outrageous, and that’s a fun thing we like to do together,” Kim said.
The hilariously raunchy ‘rebootquel’ made its long-awaited return with an impressive $55 million debut at the box office, marking the biggest opening in franchise history.

Directed by Michael Tiddes and produced by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans, and Rick Alvarez, Scary Movie (6) is yet another reminder of how bankable the Wayans family continues to be three decades later.
Radiating with her signature charm, Kim opened up about her family’s legacy, undeniable impact on new-age social media comedy, underrated coming-of-age drama, Pariah, and more, in our interview. Check it out below:
