Marlon Wayans joins Shannon Sharpe at Club Shay Shay for an honest conversation about life, comedy, and family. Marlon, the youngest of the Wayans siblings, reflects on growing up as the "butt" of his family's jokes. He shares how his childhood was shaped by his mom's hands-on approach and his father's strict religious beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness. He talks about how his mom foresaw New York real estate's value skyrocketing and recounts wearing hand-me-downs from his brothers—a habit he's kept up even today.

Marlon dives deep into his upbringing, recalling how different his family was from others in the neighborhood because they had both a mother and a father. He recounts having legendary entertainers like Eddie Murphy and Robert Townsend visit his home, and how he was writing sketches from a young age. Marlon also discusses the tension with his father over attending a performance arts high school and eventually leaving Howard University because of his experience with professors treating him differently due to In Living Color.

He opens up about his career in comedy, from his early auditions for his brother's movie Mo' Money to the creation of The Wayans Bros TV show with his brother Shawn. Marlon reflects on his family being labeled with nepotism despite their immense talent and discusses the challenges they faced with networks, including their decision to leave In Living Color when NBC attempted to blackball his brother Keenen Ivory Wayans. Lastly, Marlon reminisces about an In Living Color special that led to the invention of the Super Bowl halftime show and the history of his family on Saturday Night Live.

John Legend begins Part 2 of this episode of Club Shay Shay by sharing his experiences of making music for other artists, like his childhood crush, Janet Jackson. He also shares what it was like to collaborate with DJ Khaled, who he praises for bringing people together in the studio. John expresses a desire to work with Beyoncé and Adele and recounts his collaborations with music legends Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones. He also reveals that Oprah's "Legend Banquet" played a role in introducing him to Quincy, though these relationships almost didn’t materialize due to business disagreements.

John admits that while “Ordinary People” is his personal favorite of his songs, “All of Me” is his most commercially successful track. He recalls writing it for Chrissy, who was his fiancée at the time, and drawing inspiration from a Billy Joel song. He also shares a tender memory of singing the song in her ear for the first time. John credits the song's massive success to his decision to market it as a pop rather than an R&B song, which led to its instant popularity after his live performances. He ranks his top five songs he's written, reflects on how his political activism is inspired by the sacrifices of his ancestors, and his musical heroes involvement in the Civil Rights Movement.

John discusses selling his music catalog while retaining control of his songs and weighs the pros and cons of being an independent artist versus signing with a major label. He touches on Prince’s advice about the music business, how modern technology allows artists to bypass gatekeepers, and the challenges of creating another talent like Prince. John laments that fewer people perform in church today, which he believes is leading to a loss of musical talent. He also praises Frank Ocean's unique approach to the music industry.

Looking ahead to the upcoming presidential election, John talks about Kamala Harris's potential impact on underrepresented communities and critiques Donald Trump, stating that he does not want his children to grow up to be like Trump. He praises Kamala for being the first U.S. Vice President to have attended an HBCU and acknowledges the misconceptions about her time as California’s Attorney General. John also discusses the Obama and Biden presidencies, arguing that their policies have served the American people better than Trump’s did. Finally, he reflects on the potential impact Kamala could have on the Black community if she ascends from Vice President to President.

John Legend Part 2

John Legend joins Shannon Sharpe at Club Shay Shay for a conversation that starts off with a surprise gift from Shannon to John to celebrate his 11th wedding anniversary with his wife Chrissy Teigen. John reflects on the challenge of buying gifts for his wife, Chrissy Teigen, including a memorable year when he gave her a cookbook and a crockpot. He shares the story of how they met during one of his music videos, how he hand-selected her for the role, and when he knew she was "the one." John reveals that Chrissy is the funniest woman he’s ever dated, has great values, and even though her personality is quite different from his, these attributes cemented the idea that she is "the one" for him. He talks about how they made their relationship work even though they slept together on the first date, a moment many couples struggle to get passed. Many consider John and Chrissy "relationship goals," and he discusses how they navigate the ups and downs of their marriage. John explains why it took them so long to get married, recalling his near-botched proposal in the Maldives due to airport security.



John reflects on his upbringing in a big family in Springfield, Ohio. John addresses false comments made by Donald Trump during a debate about Haitian immigrants in his hometown and how those statements created unnecessary conflict. Shannon recalls attending one of John’s concerts and being struck by the way John tells stories during his performances, with his father's influence being a major theme. The conversation turns somber as John discusses how his grandmother’s death deeply affected his family, especially his mother, who struggled with addiction afterward. John shares how being homeschooled and growing up with his cousins shaped him, how entering high school at age 12 and college at 16 made him feel smaller than his classmates, and why he gave up organized sports. He reflects on how lessons from his father helped him through personal struggles, especially during tough times with Chrissy.



John opens up about Chrissy’s life-saving abortion, which made him pro-choice as an adult. John talks about his son’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and the challenges that came with it, especially after the repeal of Obamacare made insulin more expensive. He shares the story of how they discovered his son’s condition after he got sick at football camp. On a lighter note, John reminisces about a family trip to Lake Como and how they celebrated their love there, a theme captured in his song “I Don’t Love You Like I Used To.” The song title is meant to trick listeners but reflects his evolving love for Chrissy.



John reflects on his early career, working with Kanye West 20 years ago, and the strong artistic chemistry they shared. He reveals that he originally wrote “Ordinary People” for the Black Eyed Peas and that it was inspired by his parents. He discusses how the name "John Legend" came about, gifted by people in Kanye’s camp, and shares the story of negotiating with a musician and porn producer named Johnnie Legend to avoid a legal dispute over the name. John finishes Part 1 by talking about his work on Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
