Damon Wayans Says He Learned to Tongue Kiss… with Brother Marlon Wayans?! Yes, You Read That Right.
Comedian Damon Wayans recently sat down with Shannon Sharpe for a candid interview on Club Shay Shay, and let’s just say… things got weird real quick.
While diving into his childhood and tight-knit bond with his famous family, Damon dropped a quote that has social media fully in its what did he just say?? era.
“I learned how to tongue kiss with Marlon Wayans,” he told Shannon.
“Once you kiss your brother in the mouth, you don’t want to fight anymore.”
Um… excuse us?
Naturally, the internet came to a screeching halt. Because we all knew the Wayans family was close — but that close? Damon didn’t stop there either. He added that even now, “we all kiss” — and explained it’s about cherishing family while you have them.
“Because you never know what’s going to happen when they walk out the door.”
Now, to be fair, we understand the sentiment: life is short, and showing love matters. But learning to tongue kiss from your sibling isn’t exactly how most people interpret that message.
Cue the tweets:
“Nah Damon Wayans said WHAT?”
“Imagine being Shannon Sharpe trying to stay serious after that.”
“This interview needs to be studied in a psychology class.”
Honestly, same.
Still, if you look past the shock value, it seems Damon was trying to highlight just how deep the emotional connectionruns in his family. The Wayans siblings — Damon, Marlon, Keenen, Shawn, Kim, and the rest of the comedy dynasty — have been publicly affectionate and supportive for decades. They’ve starred together, worked together, and clearly shared a lot of love.
But most fans were left wondering whether this was an awkward overshare, a badly delivered joke, or just… Damon being Damon.
Because let’s not forget — he’s a veteran comedian. And comedians? They often say the wildest stuff to make a point, spark a reaction, or just test boundaries. Whether this moment was meant to be funny, sentimental, or shocking (or all three), it definitely got people talking.
Shannon Sharpe, for his part, kept it cool — but even he looked like he needed a second to process that one.
At the end of the day, if Damon and his siblings are good with it, that’s their business. Families express love in all kinds of ways — though, usually not like that.
Still, this quote may go down as one of the most unexpected viral soundbites of 2025. And honestly? It might be time to call a family meeting… with a PR team.
