He was on Saturday nite live?

For a little while.

He talks about getting fired here:

Damon Wayans Retells The Story Of Getting Fired From SNL: "I Knew I Was Going To Get Fired..." - ComedyHype.Com | Comedy Network


Weekender: You were actually fired from ‘Saturday Night Live’ in the 1980s during your first year as a featured player for going against the script by playing a character as a flamboyant gay cop instead of a straight cop. Why did you do that?

Wayans: I was angry. That’s the reason why it wasn’t funny, because I do a funny flamboyant character. It wasn’t funny because I was angry. They didn’t let me do what I wanted to do on ‘SNL’, which I came to learn was Lorne Michaels’ way of protecting me from looking like I was trying to be the next Eddie Murphy. It was right after Eddie Murphy left the show and they weren’t letting me do things that he would do. So, I went against the script. That was my frustration.

As an 89 Baby, Marlon was definitely my dude growing up ... but in retrospect, Damon Wayans was by far the best Wayans Bro and had a hell of a run. Doesn’t get nearly enough credit as he should in this comedy shyt.

Eh, Shawn might be.
