Jamie Foxx Says Keenen Ivory Wayans Taught Him to “Get It All”

Jamie Foxx opens up to Keke Palmer and Corinne Foxx about the lessons he learned from Keenen Ivory Wayans while working on “In Living Color” and how that experience shaped the way he approached comedy, creativity, and his career. Jamie shares what it was like working in a predominantly Black creative environment where Keenan pushed the cast to be fearless, never settle for anything less than great, and always “get it all.” He also reveals behind-the-scenes stories from “In Living Color”, including Keenen’s battles with the network, pushing creative boundaries, and the incredible talent that came through the show. Jamie also reflects on bringing those same lessons to “The Jamie Foxx Show”, including recognizing and making space for legendary talent like writer Mara Brock Akil.
