In Living Colorwill go down as one the most hilarious, albeit controversial, comedy sketch shows of the 90s! Sharing a similar format to Saturday Night Live, In Living Color featured a predominantly black cast,focused more on African American topics, and used “ghetto” styled humor that was never done before on television for mainstream audiences. It produced eyebrow-raising skits of wacky characters and parodies of pop culture at the time that left viewers in stitches. Despite its contentious nature, the show was a success. It also led to the rise of today’s A-list talent like Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey.
