Max Original Comedy Special MARLON WAYANS: GOD LOVES ME Debuts March 2

· Comedy legend Marlon Wayans returns in his third comedy special for HBO Max, MARLON WAYANS: GOD LOVES ME, debuting THURSDAY, MARCH 2 on HBO Max.

· Logline: Filmed at the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta, Wayans delivers a hilarious hour-long performance, unleashing his spot-on impressions and fearless physical comedy to address one of the most infamous recent events in pop culture - "the slap" that took place at the 94th Academy Awards(R) ceremony. With his inimitable blunt and boisterous style, Wayans skillfully weaves anecdotes from his own life with stories about his long-time friends, from divulging his teenage crush on Jada Pinkett Smith, getting humbled by Chris Rock in an early stand-up set, and examining the impact of Will Smith's long career. A daring tour-de-force, this special is a hysterical yet thoughtful exploration of friendship, family, mistakes, and redemption.

· Marlon Wayans quote: "I'm excited to be back in business with HBO Max. We've had a lot of success with my last two specials so this will be great. I know HBO Max and the sophisticated team of executives are notorious for being true tastemakers and snobs of comedy, so I am flattered that they found this special to be... special."

· Credits: Written and performed by Marlon Wayans; directed by Troy Miller; Executive produced by Marlon Wayans, Rick Alvarez, Michael Rotenberg, Steve Harris, Troy Miller.
