The 64-year-old comedian stars with his son Damon Jr. in the new CBS sitcom “Poppa's House.”

Damon Wayans picked up some memorabilia from his sketch comedy series In living color which premiered in 1990 and aired for five seasons.

“I have my Homey D. clown suit and my Men on Films hats in a little man cave,” the 64-year-old comedian/actor tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “My house is my house, so all the stuff is in there. And when I need to stroke my ego, I watch it.”

The last thing I do before I go on stage
I sing Michael Jackson songs in my dressing room. It helps me warm up my voice while I jump around and stretch.

The last time I danced

Last fashion disaster
We wore these bright colors In living colorwhich was cool back then. But sometimes I watch
When you see these pictures you think, “That was a bit much.”

Poppa's house airs Mondays on CBS and streams on Paramount+.
