Happy Endings - Interview with Damon Wayans Jr.

This is one of your first forays outside the family biz, as it were. How’s that going?
Well, this is our second season of the show, but it kind of feels like our first — because our first season, no one really saw it. It was on so late. But it definitely feels good to know that people are starting to dig the show and more people are coming along for the ride to see how silly we are.

What was it like having your dad (Damon Wayans) on the show?
It was good. He listened to everything I said, and I made sure he didn’t get the funniest joke in the scene because he’s on my show. It was good. It was great. Me and him, we’re good buddies. It was like getting paid to hang out with someone you always hang out with anyway.

It’s our working theory here that you and Eliza Coupe have one of the best marriages currently on television. Did you guys instantly hit it off?
We pretty much hit it off. I think once it got past the pilot, once we actually got picked up for the season, we were kind of inseparable, especially onstage. We still are, because most of our episodes are with each other. So, we have very like minds. We write together and we shoot sketches together.
