Damon Wayans Sr. Asks Puppy to Do a Podcast in This Exclusive “Poppa’s House” Clip — and the Dog Responds: Watch
In the CBS sitcom’s Jan. 27 episode, Wayans’ character bonds with a canine named Popcorn that he gets for his son’s family
Poppa’s House is introducing a new member to the Fulton family!
In a clip shared exclusively with PEOPLE from the CBS sitcom’s Jan. 27 episode, Poppa (played by Damon Wayans Sr., 64) bonds with a puppy named Popcorn that he gifted his son Junior (Damon Wayans Jr., 42).
At the beginning of the video, Poppa asks the dog if he wants to do a podcast together. Popcorn enthusiastically responds with a cute bark.
In the episode, which serves as Poppa’s House’s mid-season premiere, Junior refuses to believe that he has a dog allergy, something his dad told him he’s had since childhood. In response, Poppa gifts Popcorn to Junior, his wife and their two kids — to prove Junior is allergic to pet dander.
The teaser clip, soundtracked by Harry Nilsson’s classic 1969 song “Best Friend,” features a montage of Poppa and Popcorn hanging out.
Poppa’s House debuted in October. The sitcom focuses on longtime radio host Poppa as he navigates changes at work and challenges at home as he continues to parent Junior, who is learning to raise a family.

The In Living Color star and the Happy Endings star both recently sat down with PEOPLE to discuss starring in Poppa’s House together, react to old family photos and reveal what it was like being next-door neighbors with basketball legend Michael Jordan, among other topics.
“Michael Jordan used to come over and eat all my snacks. That’s how good our snacks were. He came over too much,” joked Damon Jr., who was around 12 or 13 years old when Jordan lived next door.
