In Living Colour/Color

[OVP]

Jim Carrey used to be in a TV show called In Living Color. Definitely one of the funniest TV shows i can remember ... just a simple skit comedy TV show with a difference ... the comedians actually were brilliant. I believe this show was created by Damon Wayans of Mo Money fame. I remember it used to be on late at night on TV here, but id always try and stay up to watch it. Now i wished id taped all those episodes ... oh well. Here's some clips from youtube, if you're bored and want a laugh ...

Buuuump

The show was actually created by Keenen Ivory Wayans - and he did a surprise stand-up set last night at the Friend In Hand Hotel in Glebe! I went up to him beforehand and mentioned my love for In Living Colour. Just posting here to mark it as my answer to "who's the most famous person you've ever met, albeit for two seconds" [/gush]

I remember the Christmas special from about 91 or 92 pretty well.

Homie Claus! Haha!

The skit they did where Tyson,Sugar Ray & Ali all share a house was too funny..

Awesome show. Loved it as a kid. Pretty sure he went by the name James Carey in the credits back then too.

Also helped the Wayan's boys, Jamie Foxx and Chris Rock get better established.
