Overview

One season of bold, character-driven comedy

Damon was a short-lived but memorable sitcom that aired on FOX in 1998, starring Damon Wayans as a Chicago detective balancing his career and chaotic personal life. Known for its quick wit, physical comedy, and strong ensemble cast, the series provided a fresh comedic take on police life and family struggles. Tim Hightower contributed as a writer/producer, adding sharp humor and character-driven storytelling to the series.

Although Damon only ran for one season, it showcased Damon Wayans' comedic versatility and continued the legacy of strong African American-led sitcoms in the 1990s. Its production under the Carsey-Werner banner, the same powerhouse behind classics like Roseanne and The Cosby Show, gave the series a polished edge and cultural weight.
