Over the last 17 months, Verzuz has presented numerous head-to-head song clashes featuring musicians like Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, Teddy Riley, Babyface, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, DMX, Snoop Dogg, Jeezy, Gucci Mane, The Lox, Dipset, and many more.

Are audiences interested in seeing two stand-up comedians step into the Verzuz ring for a faceoff? Entertainment industry legend Damon Wayans suggested he wants a live battle with another comedy icon.

During a conversation with KBXX 97.9 The Box, Damon Wayans was asked if he had been watching the Verzuz events. The In Living Color star replied, “No, I have not… Do they do it with comedians?”

Wayans was then questioned about which other comic he would like to go against in a Verzuz. The 60-year-old actor quickly answered, “Chappelle… I’m calling him out.” That response earned “oohs” from the KBXX 97.9 hosts.
