Damon Wayans reflected on discovering Jim Carrey, sharing how he always knew the now-iconic comedian and actor, whose Hollywood career jumpstarted on the Wayans family’s sketch comedy series “In Living Color,” was always destined for fame.
“I truly knew he was special, special, and it didn’t take Keenen [Ivory Wayans] long to go, ‘He’s the guy’, ’cause they saw every white boy in Hollywood for that role,” Wayans told Shannon Sharpe on the former NFL star’s podcast series “Club Shay Shay” this week, mentioning he’s the one who introduced Carrey to his eldest brother and “In Living Color” creator Keenen Ivory Wayans.
