Keenan Ivory Wayans is a comrdy pillar

[85 East]

Keenan Ivory Wayans deserves to have his name mentioned along the all-time greats. Whether giving his siblings a career in showbizness or helping kickstart the careers of Jamie Foxx, Jim Carey, Chris Rock, Jennifer Lopez, and countless others, Keenan deserves his flowers

Like I said, the Wayans are black royalty. The barriers they broke down can’t be overstated enough.

Hollywood Shuffle is an absolute classic and don't get brought up in conversations enough. I know it's Robert Townsend too but Keenan had a big hand in it.

yeah but SNL didn’t have a person that comes out every episode claiming they are the creators of the show. it’s easy to target Keenan cuz hes black, and he’s out in the open. a white guy laying back behind the scenes ain’t gonna get the same heat. look at Al Haymon, he’s pro black as fukk, but moves like a ghost
