**Los Angeles, CA** – The Wayans family is bringing the laughs to CBS’s “Poppa’s House.” Marlon Wayans will guest star in the March 24th episode, playing his on-screen brother, Melvin, in a storyline involving a shady get-rich-quick scheme. The episode, titled “Melvin,” will see Marlon’s character arriving unexpectedly, challenging his brother Poppa (Damon Wayans Sr.)’s expectations.

This family affair extends behind the camera as well, with Marlon’s sister, Kim Wayans, directing the episode. Damon Wayans Sr. highlighted the unique chemistry and trust between the siblings, a dynamic that simplifies the filmmaking process. However, the production wasn’t without its challenges. Damon Sr. joked about Marlon’s tendency to improvise extensively, requiring Kim’s directing skills to keep the episode within the allotted time frame.

Marlon, known for his comedic timing, revealed that he playfully “begged” Damon Sr. for the role, pitching the character of the mischievous Melvin. The episode marks a successful collaboration for the family, though future appearances of Melvin on “Poppa’s House” remain uncertain, possibly depending on scheduling and budget constraints. Damon Sr. expressed his hope for a return, praising Marlon’s comedic performance and the development of a memorable character.
