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.”

So has he been putting it on since the series ended in 1994? “I didn’t wear the suit,” he admits. “But I would if they wanted to make a movie.”

Damons, who stars alongside his son Damon Jr. in the new CBS series Poppa's housechatted with the magazine for One Last Thing:

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
I have a music room where I just dance around. I used to go to clubs alone and be the guy who sweated on the dance floor. It wasn't about conquering or impressing anyone. I just had to dance.

The last time I cried
My father died two years ago and I still haven't cried because his faith was so strong. But when my mother passed away in 2020, I cried. Four years ago, (my sister) Kim gave me photo books of my mother's life. I haven't watched them yet because I just know I'm going to boohoo.

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+.
