“Poppa’s House” welcomes a comedic force this Monday as Marlon Wayans guest stars as Melvin, Poppa’s smooth-talking, slightly shady brother. Melvin arrives with a “get-rich-quick scheme” that’s sure to cause some trouble, because, well, that’s what brothers like Melvin do.
With an episode penned by Dean Lorey & Damon Wayans and directed by Kim Wayans, the comedic pedigree is undeniable. This episode practically guarantees some classic Wayans-style humor. Poppa, already juggling the everyday chaos of work and family, now has to contend with his brother’s questionable plan. One can only imagine the eye-rolls and exasperated sighs that will ensue.
Will Melvin’s scheme actually work? Probably not. But the journey to its inevitable failure is likely to be filled with laughs. Catch “Poppa’s House” this Monday, March 24th at 8:30 PM ET/PT on CBS.
