In Living Color: Homey Don't Play That!

On this episode, we are going to talk about a TV show that ran for five seasons on Fox from 1990 to 1994. Created by Keenen Ivory Wayans, it launched the careers of some of the biggest names in show business like Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, Rosie Perez and more. It was a sketch comedy unlike anything that had come before it and haven't seen since. We're discussing how the show is rooted in such works as Hollywood Shuffle, I'm Gonna Git' You Sucka, and Eddie Murphy: Raw, how the impact and legacy of the show still influences pop culture today, and of course we had to get into some of our favorite sketches.
