Premiering on October 21, the real-life father-son duo stars as legendary talk show host and happily divorced "Poppa" and his son who's trying to prove himself on his own. Wayans Sr.'s Poppa finds his stance challenged at work when a new female co-host, Ivy (Essence Atkins), is hired, and at home, where he still finds himself a parent to his adult son, Junior, a brilliant dreamer trying to pursue his passion while being a responsible father and husband to Nina (Tetona Jackson). Geoffrey Owens also stars as Nina's father, J.J.
