Nominated for 17 Emmys in its short 4-year stint, In Living Color is widely thought of the best skit comedy show since SNL. Produced by the multitalented star Keenen Ivory Wayans (the eldest child from a significant and talented family members), the 30-minute Television show became an instant hit for emerging massive network competitor FOX in the spring of 1990. Showcasing the talents of the Wayans loved ones (especially blockbuster talent Damon Wayans), along with initial cast members David Alan Grier, Tommy Davidson, Kim Coles, T'keyah "Crystal" Keymah, Kelly Coffield, and Jim Carrey (who would use the show as a springboard to smash hit movie profession that would start with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in 1994), In Living Color rapidly achieved the status of Television cult icon
Along with clever, cutting-edge writing, In Living Color featured a plethora of talented cast members who would move on to enormously successful Hollywood careers. The show's dance troop, The Fly Girls, hired an ambitious dancer named Jennifer Lopez for the show's final season, and Season 2 of the show involved the hire of Oscar Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx (of Collateral and Ray). For its final season, In Living Color also featured notable appearances by comedian Chris Rock. Along the way, the series would create a number of legendary recurring characters such as Homey D. Clown (Damon Wayans), Fire Marshall Bill (Jim Carrey), and Males on Film (Damon Wayans & David Alan Grier)
The In Living Color DVD attributes a number of hilarious episodes such as the series premiere in which the show starts with a skit entitled "Enjoy Connection". Jim Carrey stars as Chuck Woolery, trying to bring together star-crossed lovers Mike Tyson (Keenen Ivory Wayans) and Robin Givens (Kim Coles). This first episode also attributes the very first look of the well-known characters from the skit "Males on Film". Other notable episodes from Season 1 contain "Introducing Homey D. Clown" in which the globe 1st meets an ex-con turned clown who refuses to engage in any clown-like acts, and "Anton in the People's Court" which features the skits "M.C. Hammer Video" and "Ted Turner's Really Colorized Classics - The Kid"
