'Lethal Weapon' star Damon Wayan's announcement that he would be quitting the show come December has left everyone in shock including his son Damon Wayans Jr. The younger Wayans said in an interview with 'CBS This Morning' that he is just as weirded out as the rest of the world. He said, "I saw the video and I was just like, 'Dad, that's bizarre.' So I don't know, he might be. I don't know, if the show goes off the air he might be leaving." 

Senior Wayans made the announcement in an interview with Electronic Urban Report on Wednesday last week saying that he wanted to leave because he wanted to spend more time with his family. "I’m going to be quitting the show in December after we finish the initial 13, so I don’t really know what they’re planning, but that’s what I’m planning," he had said, "I’m a 58-year-old diabetic and I’m working 16-hour days… Like Murtaugh said, 'Too old for this.'
