He went on to do In Living Color from 1990 to 1992, part of a team that was nominated for Emmy Awards all three years.
He produced Waynehead, a cartoon for the WB, loosely based on his own childhood growing up in a large family, starring a poor boy with a clubfoot. It only lasted a season.
Wayans currently stars as the father in the ABC sitcom My Wife and Kids. [1] Before that, he starred in the film Major Payne.
In 1999 his New York Times bestseller called Bootleg was published; it is a humorous compilation of his observations about family, children, marriage, and politics.
