In Living Color

In Living Color was an American sketch comedy television series which ran on the Fox Television Network from 1990 to 1994 and was created and produced by Keenen Ivory Wayans.

Starring Keenen Ivory Wayans with many members of his family as well as noted performers like David Alan Grier and Jim Carrey, the series strove to produce comedy with a strong emphasis on African American subject matter. However, it is now also known for the work of Jim Carrey who was cast as a token white guy. The show also featured a dance group known as the Fly Girls; one member during the series' run was Jennifer Lopez.

Popular recurring sketches included:

  • Homie the Clown - An convict who works as a clown for his parole agreement, but violently lashes out at any attempt to make him perform the standard antics of the role - "I don't think so...Homie don't play that!"
  • The Bunmens - A family family modeled after The Cosby Show characters, only they have buttocks on their foreheads
  • Men on Film - A pair of extremely effeminate gay men review films in their own distinctive way - "Three snaps in Z formation, the ZORRO! snap."
