Damon Wayans fired from the famous show My Wife and Kids, the reason revealed
To believe some surprising statements, Damon Wayans would be the enemy of Bruce Willis in Hollywood. We know, the interpreter of Michael Kyle in My Family First does not have his tongue in his pocket and is not the type to let himself be walked on. Long before he found success with the cult series, Damon appeared several times on the 11th season of Saturday Night Live, an entertainment show that parodies American culture and politics, among other things. Unfortunately, this experience quickly turned into a real fiasco. Frustrated and tired of seeing his sketch proposals rejected, Damon confessed to having willfully sabotaged his work on the famous live-air show.
The last straw was during an episode in which Damon Wayans was to play a heterosexual police officer. Far from being seduced and amused by the story, the actor ultimately went against the script and portrayed the policeman in question as a stereotypical gay man. It didn’t take more for the producer to fire him on the spot. Later, the comedian finally revealed to The Weekender that the script change was intentional: “I was angry. That’s why it wasn’t funny because I’m playing a flamboyant character. They didn’t let me do what I wanted on SNL and I learned that it was their way of protecting me from being seen as the next Eddie Murphy. It was right after Eddie Murphy left the show and they wouldn’t let me do the things he was doing. , I went against the scenario. It was my frustration. ” Always more unpredictable, Damon Wayans would have been against the idea of working with Tisha Campbell-Martin in the series My Family First after a case of sexual harassment.
