The ensemble cast of characters turned unknown comedians into famous actors and actress. The Wayans brothers fashioned recurring sketches that became popular with each episode.
The original show helped launch the careers of Jamie Foxx
and Jim Carrey besides the Wayans family.
Homey D. Clown may soon find his way back into the spotlight
saying, “I don’t think so…Homey don’t play that.” Another of Damon Wayans
characters, Anton was a homeless man who frequented family gatherings.
Never without
his lone pickle in the jar, Anton was, one strange character.
Jim Carrey’s wild sense of humor in the characters he played
while on In Living Color was a glimpse
into the essence of this rising, whacky comic star. His psychotic character, “Fire
Marshal Bill” demonstrated unsafe fire calamities that caused him harm.
Other famous faces from the original cast include Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba
who was a regular ‘Fly Girl’ dancer alongside the now famous Jennifer Lopez.
Written and created by Keenen and Damon Wayans, the original
sketch comedy television series ran from 1990 to 1994. The Fox comedy variety
show will return in the spring with the hopes to become a series. Host Keenen
Ivory Wayans will return with a fresh new cast of characters.
