In Living Color

Show Summary

Aired: 1990 - 1994
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US

In living color, the brainchild of Keenan Ivory Wayans, was a weekly comedy variety show that put a new hip urban edge on American comedy. Once being called a “black SNL”, the show grew in fame with satires of popular movies, music and commercials as well as happily exploiting various ethnic stereotypes and repeating sketches like Homey the clown, men on film and Fire Marshall Bill. The show featured the multi-talented Wayans brothers Keenan, Damon, Marlon, Shawn and sister Kim. The show also included many other talented black comedians such as Jamie Foxx, David Allen Grier, along with the shows “token white guy”, Jim Carrey. In Living Color also played host to an array of rap and r&b talent with backup dancing provided by the Fly Girls.

"You can do what u wanna do.. In living color.. IN LIVING COLOR!"

Pure classic. Very funny back then but now in syndication, I hate it. I liked Homey but I like the gay one better with David and Damon lol. Sunday nights in the '90's were made for In Living Color...

HAHAHAH...loved this show. I liked it all the way till the last season or so when Kennan stopped producing the show...then it kinda sucked. For some reason, my favorite skit is Cape Rear where Arsenio (played by Kennan) stalks Eddie Murphy (Jamie Foxx) for his job...HILARIOUS.
