It’s been a hot minute since Marlon Wayans has been a part of the primetime sitcom world, but now 1/77th of the Wayans dynasty is returning this summer with a new show on NBC called Marlon and a Netflix movie, Naked.
Stopping by The Breakfast Club (almost a year to do the day since his last visit), a Patrick Ewing drenched Marlon Waynes chops it up with Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee about his relationship with his ex-wife, Dave Chappelle, and his man Tupac Shakur.
Here are the 8 things we learned from Marlon Wayans on The Breakfast Club.

1. Vitamin Man
Marlon takes 100 vitamin supplements a day because of his brutal work schedule, lack of sleep… and he likes to drink.
2. The Ex
After the pictures of Marlon on a boat with female company came out he says his ex-wife cursed him out for four months straight. He still freely stops by his ex-wife’s house whenever he feels like it though.
4. Stand Up Guy
Even though Marlon’s been a comedic actor for most of his life he’s finally decided to do stand-up at the age of 38 because he wants “to be great.”
5. Donald Trump
Marlon says God chose Trump as President as a gift to comedians (we beg to differ). He says he could do an hour worth of material on Agent Orange but wouldn’t want to make it into a Trump bashing show.
6. Dave & Chris
Marlon says part of David Chappelle’s magic is the ability to perform in front of 25,000 people and make it seem like he’s talking to seven. He also calls Chris Rock “a great preacher” and a “tactician” with the way he connects to the audience.
7. Not Enough Color
Marlon isn’t buying into the belief that there’s a Black Renaissance going on in entertainment. He still feels Black people deserve more shows as well as Hispanics, Asians, etc.
8. Tupac
Marl remembers seeing his close friend Tupac the night he got shot. He said he gave him a hug before Pac pulled off and was murdered. He feels that God put him there in that moment to say goodbye.
