I wanted to fight them n-ggas. I wanted they hit me. I was so crazy. I was in the limousine and I said, ‘Don’t talk to me.

During a later interview on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” following After its Emmy disaster, the Wayans clan explained what led to the prank on her little brother, and found the then-rising star to chose a less expensive route when choosing her attire for the annual ceremony, against the wise advice of her seasoned celebrity siblings.

Nevertheless all agreed to the plan. However, on the night of the show, his siblings just stared at him instead of intentionally fooling Marlon like they had all previously decided, leading to it appearing that Marlon just had bad taste in fashion at the time and not that it was planned.

Known for both television and film, Marlon Wayans added stand-up comedy to his repertoire a few years ago and is coming to the Chicago Improv in Schaumburg for a series of shows this weekend.

“I used to talk about the state of the world,” he says of his act. “But the world is so messed up right now that it’s too easy to talk about, and I’d rather talk about myself. So now I’m talking about me. I think it’s more healing for people because it’s a lot more personal. So letting myself laugh at things that aren’t so funny in my life is what I better enjoy – the therapy of it.” Last week’s news concerns a lawsuit filed by an actor who had a small role in “A Haunted House 2.” and claimed he was mocked by Wayans because of his African American race and that the star compared him to the “Family Guy” character Cleveland in a movie, tweeting. Although a court ruled that Wayan’s speech was a protected activity, the California Supreme Court recently “told a lower court of appeals to reconsider Wayan’s victory,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

When he was asked to admit a worst moment share his career, he did not mention the lawsuit; The news broke after the Tribune’s interview with Wayans, and his publicist did not respond to a request for comment. The multi-talented Wayans family said his brothers pranked him into the industry and me and my brothers (Keenan and Shawn) should go to the Emmys. I had just done Mo’ Money (1992 with older brother Damon) and it was my first season on In Living Colour. (Netflix)

“My brothers were making money back then, but I wasn’t. We were supposed to be presenting at the Emmys, and before the show my brothers were buying these expensive suits. And I’m like, ‘Hey guys, why don’t we rent.’ just a suit?” I made a few thousand dollars on Mo’ Money, but they buy suits for $2,000. And I guess dude I’ve only got 10 in the bank, I’m not gonna spend two on a suit I’ll never wear again. So I think let’s just rent [a tuxedo]… And those suits are ugly.” And I said, “So let’s make fun of me wearing an ugly suit. I’m going to wear a really ugly suit that’s too small for me, and you guys can make fun of me.” And they’re like, “No, that’s bad EA.” I called Damon — who was ill at the time — and I tell him the EA.” And Damon is like (mimicking Damon’s voice), “You know what? I think that’s a good thing!”

“So Damon calls Keenan and Shawn and they decide they’re going to pull a prank on me.

“This little suit, the one I got looked like someone Urkel took off a suit, put it in the dryer and dressed it super hot (laughs)*100038 * – it was damn little. Had two left shoes on. I got into it!
