Cocktail hour: After we finish taping “The Wayans Bros.” at about 11 Friday nights, we go to Pinot Hollywood for drinks. It’s close to the studio, so everyone can walk. If I have one too many Kahlua and creams, I can walk back over to the stage and hang out for a while before I drive.

Couch potato: After I work out at Gold’s Gym, I like to lie down in the afternoon and watch movies. I go to Virgin Megastore or Dave’s Lasers in the Valley first to buy laser discs.

Healthy choice: I like the chicken chili at Red on Beverly Boulevard. I bring my own tortilla chips from Air One--a place like Mrs. Gooches or Whole Foods. For sweets, I go to Mani’s Bakery and get the banana cranberry crunch cake. If I splurge, it’s on McDonald’s French fries.

Late shift: I’m usually done doing stand-up at the Laugh Factory or the Improv by 11 or 11:30. If I bombed, I go home and go to bed. If I’m tired or I had a good set, I go out to Bar One on Sunset or Checca on Santa Monica Boulevard. I avoid Hollywood places like Sky Bar like the plague. When I’m in Hollywood, it’s work. When I’m not, I like to chill and have a normal lifestyle.

Deliverance: Something we like to do as a family, all of us brothers, is play paint ball. We’ll get all the boys, our sister Kim, all our friends, Wesley Snipes and Will Smith, and go out into the woods in Glendale. It’s an all-day affair. We’re like deer hunters.
