damon wayans on imus Damon Wayans Gives Don Imus Two Thumbs Up

Damon Wayans (47) was on The View this morning and he said he’s okay with Don Imus saying "nappy-headed hos." When many were calling for an end to using the word "nigger," Wayans continued to use the word in his routine even though he faced stiff fines at some comedy clubs. Wayans said:

"Freedom of speech, what happened to that? What happened to expressing yourself? At least I know where he (Don Imus) stands. And you know what? When he called them nappy-headed ho’s, I went, ’Wow, he’s right!’ Black people at home are laughing right now. White people are going, ’That’s not right!’ It’s all cultural."

Then Wayans went all Borat saying:

"Women today, most women I run into, don’t want to do the fundamentals. They don’t cook. … I make the money so she can make something to cook." Joy Behar asked, "What if she makes as much money, though, and she says, ’You do the cooking’?" Wayans replied: "Then we can talk. But I haven’t met her. Beyoncé is taken."

Dick Masterson would definitely agree with Wayan’s point about women. Click here to see Dick run his mouth in this video. Scroll down to see it.

Damon Wayans Walks Off Stage in El Paso, Texas

Share

Damon Wayans walked out five minutes before his sold-out performance Friday at Bart Reed’s Comic Strip leaving the owner and Wayans fans confused.

Reed said the comic was upset when, 5 minutes before his second show, two female friends were not immediately allowed into the club. Local comic Jorge Jimenez took the stage instead.

The sold-out shows on Saturday and Sunday were canceled. Wayans did perform two out of four shows on Thursday.

People who bought tickets online should have all charges reversed. Anyone who has not yet received a refund should go to the club during normal box office hours.

    Damon is a jerk. I was at the show that night. He's very unprofessional. I hope that he ends up ...

Damon Wayans and Andy Dick Caught Using the N Word

Share

Everyone knows using the N word is common in certain circles, but like some words, it can have positive or negative tones. This week both Andy Dick (white), and Damon Wayans (black), both used the N word at the Laugh Factory. Andy Dick jumped on stage while another comedian performed, and yelled, "You’re all a bunch of n***ers," to the crowd as he was leaving the stage. Wayans used the N word in a different context. The Laugh Factory is making an attempt to apply the rules fairly to try to prevent a repeat of the Michael Richards incident. See the story below:

Damon Wayans became the first famous offender of the Laugh Factory’s ban on the use of the n-word, and was fined and banned from the club for three months as a result, Wayans’ publicist tells TMZ.

After the Michael Richards incident on November 17, the club decided to ban use of the word and fine comedians $20 for every offense. Wayans took the stage Sunday during a showcase of African-American comedians called "Chocolate Sundaes." Wayans opened his routine with the line, "Give yourselves a big round of applause for coming down and supporting ’N***** Night.’" According to the L.A. Times, Wayans used the word 15 more times during his 20-minute appearance.

That’s a $320 contribution to the Laugh Factory’s swear jar. Wayans’ rep had no further comment other than to confirm the fine and the temporary ban.

Andy Dick drew fire earlier this week for using the n-word during an appearance at the Improv.


Dick has since issued an apology through his publicist.
