Great comedy....Major Payne!!! Wayans performed as a comedian and actor throughout the 1980s, including a yearlong stint on the sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live, although his true breakthrough came as a cocreator and performer on his own sketch comedy show, In Living Color, from 1990 to 1992. Since then he has starred in a number of films and television shows, some of which he has coproduced or cowritten, including The Last Boy Scout and Major Payne, and the sitcom My Wife and Kids.
