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.

On December 31, 2008, reruns of the show will stop airing on BET. But no need to despair yet, because the next day (January 1, 2009), Comedy Central will start airing "In Living Color!"

"Cause That's The Way You're Livin' When Livin' In Living Color"
Theme by Heavy D and the Boyz

How you livin? What?
How you livin? What?
How you livin? In Living Color

You can do what you wanna do
Anything you want its up to you
You for me and me for you
You can be anything you wanna be

Lets take a trip and sip on a dream
Glide with the guide on a funky scene
Here comes another one of those
funky, funny Mo Money shows
a cast for laughs and talented rolls
And sisters with twisters
for you to look at, listener
It seems you dont believe
so youll believe what I convince ya
Some booty to your short, and forth well make it snappy
with jokes and pokes and folks to keep you happy
No need to hold your remote control, chill
This shows got soul
All aboard, all board
The train never troubles
You better snuggle up, couple up on the double
On the double yeah
Its hard to believe
When some of the best things in life are free
So fellas grab your girl, tell her that you love her
Cause thats the way youre livin
when youre livin In Living Color
