2000’s Scary Movie, which Wayans directed and acted in, was the highest-grossing movie directed by an African American until 2005. From 1997 to 1998, he hosted a talk show, “The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show.” In 2014, Wayans was a judge on the eighth season of “Last Comic Standing.”

He attended Tuskegee University on an engineering scholarship, but he dropped out the semester before he would have graduated to pursue a career in comedy.
