The multitalented Keenen Ivory Wayans was the driving
force behind this comedy-variety series featuring biting
satirical parodies of movies, TV series, commercials, celebs,
people in the news, and black stereotypes. Among the
recurring sketches were "Men on Film," gay movie critics
Blaine Edwards and Antoine Mayweather; "Hey Mon," the
trials and tribulations of the Hedleys, a hard-working West
Indian family in which everyone had at least six jobs; "The
Buttmans," a family with butts instead of foreheads; "The
Home Boys," Wiz and Ice, two young black scam artist/thieves;
Homey, the cynical nasty clown; Anton Jackson, the spaced-
out wino; Handi-Man, the handicapped superhero; and
frequent caricatures of Arsenio Hall and Oprah Winfrey.
In Living Color was a fast-paced show featuring a versatile
repertory cast--including four of Keenen's nine siblings--
and an energetic group of dancers known as The Fly Girls.
Over the years there were some changes. Starting in 1992
most episodes opened with spoofs of popular music
videos. That fall Twist (real name: Leroy Casey) replaced
Shawn Wayans as the show's D.J. after Shawn was
promoted to regular cast member. By year's end star and
creator Keenen Ivory Wayans had left the show, and by
1993 so had all of his siblings. In the fall of 1993, with the
entire Wayans family gone, Jim Carrey had become the
star of the show. No longer did guest rap musicians close
each episode, and almost half of the cast was Caucasian.
