In Living Color Returns to Fox

Fox just announced they’ll be bringing back In Living Color for two half-hour specials next year. The sketch comedy, which originally ran from 1990 to 1994 and starred the Wayans brothers (Keenen Ivory, Damon, Shawn, and Marlon), will be updated in the new specials set to air in the spring of 2012.

Keenen Ivory Wayans is hosting and executive producing the specials which will feature a new young cast and musical acts.

The iconic series put a hip, edgy spin on popular culture and featured characters and sketches that became part of the American vernacular, such as “Men on Film,” starring flamboyant film critics Blaine Edwards (Damon Wayans) and Antoine Merriweather (David Alan Grier); Homey D. Clown (Damon Wayans), a dour urban kiddie entertainer whose catchphrase was “Homey don’t play that!”; streetwise scam artists “The Home Boys” (Keenen Ivory and Damon Wayans); and Fire Marshall Bill (Jim Carrey), a disfigured safety expert.
