Marlon Wayans Is 'Broken' Because He Can't Attend John Witherspoon's Funeral Service

Marlon Wayans took to social media to say he is “broken” because he can’t attend John Witherspoon‘s funeral service due to filming Respect.

The legendary comedian and actor’s service is scheduled to take place today (November 5) at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles.

In a post on his Instagram page, Marlon Wayan wrote:

Can’t make your send off Pops… I’m broken up about it. Unfortunately, have to work. I know you would tell me “mahlon, go get that PAPER!

You better go get them keys ? see… you got a comedy key, a sitcom key ? a movie key ? , a stand up key ?… now go get that drama key ? now you gonna unlock ? all that PAPER”.

I’ll always hear you. I’m glad every time we said goodbye it was always with a fatherly hug and kiss. So that’s the goodbye I’ll leave it with.

#ripPOPS @johnnywitherspoon playing some Johnny Mathis “chances are” in your honour.
