When you come from a family of 10 children, it’s almost inevitable that there will be lots of debate about who’s the smartest, the funniest and, of course, the best looking. When it comes to the multi-talented Wayans family, actress and comedian Keke Palmer says she has a clear favorite in the looks department.

During a recent appearance on the “Baby, This is Keke Palmer” podcast, Palmer took a few minutes to gush over 53-year-old actor and comedian Marlon Wayans, whom she says is far and away her favorite of the brothers.
“You’ve always been the finest, funniest, my favorite Wayans. That’s the fact,” Keke told Marlon.
But Marlon was quick to disagree, giving the title of “finest Wayans” to his big brother and “White Chicks” co-star, 54-year-old Shawn.
“Shawn is definitely the finest,” he said. “If I was a girl, I’d be like, ‘Marlon make me laugh, but imma f* Shawn.’”
Palmer has been consistent about her love for Marlon: In a 2024 Instagram post, Palmer posted a picture of the two, which she captioned, “Maturity is knowing Marlon Wayans is and was always the finest Wayans. Love ’em all tho!”
Folks online who saw Palmer and Wayans’ conversation were quick to jump into the debate, including a few high-profile commenters who think we should be spreading the love around.
“They are ALL fine!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥,” wrote Holly Robinson Peete on Instagram.
Actress Elise Neal didn’t hesitate and came through with the cosign.
“All so handsome and fine & funny,” she wrote on IG.
But one commenter reminded the rest of us that there is one Wayans brother that we’re all sleeping on.
“Damon IS the finest. But MARLON is a close second… like, CLOOOSE. And I need y’all to stop leaving Keenan out the convo! 😂😂😂😂,” wrote someone on Instagram.
