Summary

Comedian, actor, director and producer Marlon Wayans (@marlonwayans) returns to Yes, Girl! for more unfiltered conversation. He’s celebrating the return of his hit sitcom Marlon (season 2 premieres tonight on NBC) and going in about the realities of being a father, co-parenting and why White Chicks was one of his all-time favorite projects. Plus, Marlon beautifully explains why he and his ex are truly the best of friends (and that’s better for them both), his wonderful relationship with his mother and brothers, and why he’s better off single. Plus, he doesn’t think he’s actually “rich” and his explanation is as real as it is funny! We love him more after this conversation and we’re certain you will too! Get into it!
