The funny series is about a pop star, Cooper James (Felix Mallard), who moves in with his accountant Jake (Damon Wayans, Jr.) and the man’s wife, Claire (Amber Stevens West), in an effort to escape the pressures of Hollywood and lead a more normal life.
While viewers have already become acquainted with Claire’s parents, Bonnie and Gerald (Stephnie Weir and Victor Williams), they have yet to see a member of Jake’s family.
That all changes on the episode airing Monday, October 29 — titled “Like Father, Like Son” — when Damon Wayans makes his debut appearance as Jake’s father Mike.
Yes, art is imitating real life as the actual father and son duo are portraying father and son on screen.
“[Jake] and his dad are best friends — they text and talk all the time,” explained the younger Wayans to TV Insider .
However, the episode explores what happens when Jake finds out that his beloved dad has been keeping a secret from him.
In real life, the 35-year-old actor said his 58-year-old dad is quite “nosy.”
“He said once, ‘Comedy isn’t rocket science. Either it’s funny or it’s not. Don’t fake it too much.’ Also, ‘repetition is key.’ He’s said standup is the key to remaining funny.”
If you think @wayansjr is funny, just wait till tonight’s episode of #HappyTogether where you’ll get the Wayans humor x 3! Not only does this episode feature Damon Wayans Sr. alongside @wayansjr, but it was written by cousin & nephew @CRAIGWAYANS . 8:30/7:30c on #CBS .???? pic.twitter.com/Q3sfTSqpf6
