There’s gonna be some serious rib-cracking tonight for the HBO Max audience!

Lately Wayans wrapped up his critically applauded role as Will's long-last dad Lou on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air remake, Bel-Air streaming on Peacock. After years of trying to find out who his dad is, Will got to know the truth when Lou appeared, revealing that he was in jail. He didn't want Will to feel embarrassed of him and so made Phil and Vy swear not to tell him who or where he was. It was an unexpected yet commendable emotional performance from the comedy actor.
