Keenen Ivory Wayans should really consider producing his own MasterClass. He seems to have a great balance between humor, Intelligence and wisdom -- Not necessarily in that order. He has a generous ability to recognize talent of others with a willingness to put them in the forefront, while he seems to find gratification in supporting their talent from the sidelines.
He really does seem a rarity among all races and genders. And he seems to be very patient and well considered in everything he does. It's very impressive.
Loved his facial expressions and his acting. David you a legend bro. You brothers will never know how much I appreciate your show in sunny south Africa. Bring back memories thanks again Keenan and the whole team.
@@Rah-know Yes, it's all good. I always look at it as he loves her and appreciates her. She got a lot of slack for her looks from the black community for a while. There were jokes. She is strong apparently and beautiful
@@Deception975 yoooo, his 'Airplane', 'Naked Gun' movies and the parody movie he did about 'The Fugitive' called 'Wronfully Accused' was hysterical. I can watch them over and over 🤣😂🤣😂
There was an interview years ago with Damon and he broke down crying talking about Kenan. He said he loves his brother and what he did for the entire family for generations is mind blowing.
But he made sure they earned their keep though. That entire family is so talented and working with each other, I feel, helped them all step up to new levels. In Living Color is what made me want to watch the show that Shawn and Marlon had for a few years, it drew me to Jamie Foxx and his show/movies, as well as the original Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2.
Kim Wayans playin Crystal Waters was my top 5 skit pick. Kim was such a strong presence on that roster, and is still one of my favorite people of all time
I personally need to thank Keenan and his team. I was an comic at that time and auditioned for the show. Even though I and others didn't get on, Keenan helped open doors for all of us and helped us get gigs and opportunities that we might not have had. I am still writing and producing comedy today and I wouldn't be here if not for the doors opened by Kennan and the show. Thank you!!
When it came out, I was thinking, Yo'. The Wayans family are the Jackson (5) Family of Comedy, no doubt about it. Everyone of them is funny, even Shawn (SW1) and Marlon. (You can't forget about "Tito" too.)
Yes, out of everything they had discussed on the panel - that stuck out to me the most. I remember studying in college that T.V. was intentionally used to program and control the American citizen in every way possible.
True because it was "ROTFLMBO!" even if it offended people of ALL cultures, religion and politics. They were free to laugh, joke, be silly and present a platform for my generation to partake of their hilarious creativity as they saw and felt it. With the nature of today's communication means and social media outlets creative artists, producers, and entertainment executives are more self-conscious about their image and worried about how any backlash can affect their financial bottom line. This results in the stifling of the freedom of artistic creativity
A few months ago I watched that sketch of the two gay movie critics doing the football part and it turned my stomach to watch it as a grown man. It was funny as a teen. hard to watch. Turned it off.
Im definitely feeling this. I would pre order tickets for that movie or I'd subscribe to whatever network for a trial period for it. That needs to happen.
Thanks for the the show and uplift. I was 20 years old in the Army. Deployed for combat in Panama. We found a VCR had family record you show and shipped us VHS to watch In Living Color in Panama. From the soldiers of 5 battalion 21st infantry Fort Ord, California 1990. "Cold Steel"
You mean the current era where i just watched a show where a little kids imaginary friend told him to "fuck her face" as dating advice? Remember the days when you couldnt say pregnant on tv? 75% of tv nowadays wouldnt have stood a chance in the 90's.
*Fireman Marshal Bill *Man on Film *The Head Detective *The Jamaican family wth all them Damn jobs *Homey the Clown *Ms. Bonita the gossiper *Wanda *The Man ( Damon Wayans in the prison sketch) * Duke (dead dog) w/ Jamie Foxx *Calhoun Tubbs wrote a song about this wanna here it *The restaurant with Tommy Davidson as the cook *Funky Finger Production There were so many. They kept me in stitches #A Classic
Love me some Kim Wayans! Who remembers her sketch w/ David Alan Grier “Lil Magic”? She played the lil girl that would audition for roles and David was her mom 😂
"I knew something good was gonna happen because when I woke up my big toe was swollen and my uterus has been doin' flips all day!!!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Kim Wayans...."Low Down Dirty Shame" will never get old to me! I love all of them on stage, we lived for In Living Color!!!
"Senator Hemsley gave me my first job, wrote a song bout it like to hear it here it go" I shine Senator Hemsley shoes fo a penny!!! Neva got paid!!! AHHHHHHHAAAAA thank u very much!!! Now that Senator Hemsley is my landlord...Seen em throw ol Ladies' out n da gutta.... AHHHHHHHAAAAA thank u very much!!!!
It was the Second Saturday Night with Hip Hop and Flygirls. THey were wonderful for the first couple of seasons until the sensors clipped their wings. Wonderful is all I can say, they were all wonderful on this show. Thank you Keenan and Co, you guys rocked big time!!
I never had a comfortable or affectionate relationship with my parents, but sitting down and watching In Living Color with them was one of the few times I felt like we were a family. Thank you, Keenan.
Child of the 80's here... this takes me back to those Sunday nights at 8pm and just LAUGHING OUR BUTTS OFF! This show was above and beyond and i have no words as to what an impact it made on many lives. Sidenote: I met Kim like 10 yrs or so ago and she is such a BEAUTIFUL soul....i hugged her twice and will never forget her kindness and smile!
That was one of the best fucking skit ever on that show.....it still cracks me the fuck up till this day....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣......even the real shabba had to laugh at himself
“We stillll together!” Thank you Kim Wayne, my husband and I have just celebrated 30 years of marriage and this is what we say to each other each year! Though times are rough and we have grown into very different people since being married in 1990 at age, 17 and 18, this saying makes us smile every time! Thank you for the smiles!
Carrie Ann Inaba, Laurieann Gibson, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Coles, Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier, Shawn, Marlon, Keenen, Damon and Kim Wayans, T'Keyah Keymah, Tommy Davidson, Kelly Coffield and Ali Wentworth and occasional guest appearances by Chris Rock (season 5). The career trajectory that branched off this show alone. And all are icons in their own right. True _ILC_ fans know that seasons 1 to 4, was the show at its height. The final season produced some good moments like "Cheap Pete" by Chris Rock, "The Dirty Dozens" and "East Hollywood Squares", but that was pretty much it. You can't honestly do a show like _ILC_ in 2019 for reasons that way too obvious. What made the show what it was, not only seeing people in color, but the embracement of hip hop on a major level similar to what Arsenio Hall's late night talk show did when hip hop began to dominate on a mainstream level. Timeless and iconic. All of them have gracefully aged too. Long live _ILC_ #ILC
I like that because respect is respect and it is very much needed in this day and time. You have to demand respect because if you don't do that then you won't get any.
