Anna Faris Calmed Comedy Fears After Keenen Ivory Wayans Advice
8 May 2012 3:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Anna Faris honed her skills as a funnywoman following inspirational advice from Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans.
The actress appeared in all five films in the comedy franchise and insists she felt more at ease in humorous roles after Ivory Wayans advised her to release her inhibitions when performing on set.
Faris tells V's Americana Issue, "He gave me the most valuable advice. He said: 'There's no vanity in comedy.' And that was such a liberating thought. I cling to that idea."
The star, who plays a hippie food shop owner in British writer and actor Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming release The Dictator, recalled Ivory Wayans' wise words to calm her nerves when making the movie.
She says, "I've been a part of some crazy movies, but never something quite like this. Sacha is an insane genius. It's exciting to be around him, but also terrifying. You really don't know what he's going to do." »

If it's a bit surprising they haven't had their turns before, they're getting them now.
Several beloved comedy series are in the TV Land Awards spotlight as the nostalgia-driven network televises the 10th-anniversary edition of the event Sunday, April 29. Kelly Ripa returns as host of the ceremony, taped two weekends earlier at New York's Lexington Avenue Armory at Gramercy Park, and the casts of the honored shows alone guarantee the room to be filled with familiar faces.
ABC's "Laverne & Shirley," which starred Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams as the Milwaukee brewery co-workers and roommates, gets the Fan Favorite Award; CBS' "One Day at a Time," about a single working mother (Bonnie Franklin) and her teen daughters (Mackenzie Phillips, Valerie Bertinelli), receives the Innovator Award.
Also, CBS' vehicle for Pee-wee Herman (alias Paul Reubens), "Pee-wee's Playhouse," lands the Pop Culture Award; Keenen Ivory Wayans' Fox sketch comedy "In Living Color, »

Damon Wayans’ Mysterious Absence From ‘In Living Color’s TV Land Awards Tribute
29 April 2012 9:51 AM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Tonight, TV Land is airing the 10th Anniversary TV Land Awards where Fox’s In Living Color is recognized with the Groundbreaking Award. But you wouldn’t know from it that Damon Wayans was a part of the iconic sketch comedy series. There were two members of In Living Color‘s core cast who were no-shows at the TV Land Awards ceremony, which took place on April 14 in New York: Jamie Foxx and Damon Wayans. Foxx couldn’t attend because he has been in New Orleans filming Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, in which he plays the title role. The absence of Wayans, who told organizers he was unavailable, was more puzzling. Wayans, who is credited as co-creator of In Living Color with his brother Keenen Ivory Wayans, was a key In Living Color writer-performer, who played some of the show’s most memorable characters.

The Cabin in the Woods – review
12 April 2012 4:07 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
This clever meta-horror asks what human need is fed by seeing hot youths get slaughtered, but it forgets to be properly scary
In Keenen Ivory Wayans's Scary Movie, from 2000, a fleeing character is famously offered two directional options by the masked figure: safety or death. The joke is that there is no choice. No matter how cynical and wised-up everyone is about the horror film and all its various tropes, the genre triumphantly survives, to a great extent by playfully absorbing that cynicism and feeding it back to the fanbase. Drew Goddard plays on this postmodern connoisseurship in this meta-chiller, The Cabin in the Woods, co-written with Joss Whedon. The poster shows the cabin in question floating in the air, tricksily twisting in sections like a Rubik's cube.
It's an affectionately satirical nightmare that asks why horror is so potent: what awful human need is being fed by seeing »

First revealed publicly last October, the Fox Network is bringing the Wayans' In Living Color back to TV as a mid-season replacement, with the original star and creator of the show, Keenen Ivory Wayans, on board as host and executive producer.

If the two specials are a ratings success, then the new In Living Color will be picked up as a series next season.
