Actor, Comedian, Director, Producer and now New York Times bestselling author, Damon Wayans is no stranger to hard work. He's been working at his craft since the early 80s. From his early days as a stand up comedian sleeping only 3 hours a night, juggling his day job and family while pounding the pavement as an actor, to his high-riding success on the hit television series, In Living Color to his highly-rated sitcom, My Wife & Kids, Wayans always did what he needed to in order to reach his career goals. But now he's at a cross-roads. His sitcom is in syndication and he admittedly was left with "a lot of time on his hands". What's a millionaire comedian, writer, producer to do? Write a book of course! His first book, Bootleg hit the New York Times bestsellers list and his next book, his first novel, Red Hats: A Novel is selling like hot cakes. 
In my audio interview with Damon Wayans today, he explains how he's able to juggle so many careers, his struggling days as a comedian when he couldn't even afford diapers for his infant son, what he really thinks of Jim Carrey and Jennifer Lopez whose own careers have sky-rocketed since In Living Color days and his advice to "starving artists".
