Celebrating 'In Living Color'

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2019
  • Here is my tribute to the brilliantly funny 'In Living Color'. The show propelled the careers of Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier, Damon Wayans, Jamie Foxx, and many others into superstardom with the unforgettable (and hilariously shocking) characters they created.
    I chose to focus on a handful of my personal favorites on this segment:
    Jim Carrey's amazing impressions of Pee-wee Herman, Richard Simmons, Rocky Balboa, and Vanilla Ice as well as his unforgettable performances as the steroid-abusing female bodybuilder "Vera de Milo".
    Jamie Foxx as "Wanda", the horniest ugliest woman in the world.
    Damon Wayans as the verbally abusive "Homey D. Clown", the filthy, drunken homeless "Anton Jackson" as well as his perfect teaming with David Alan Grier as a pair of extremely effeminate gay men on "Men on Film".
    Kelly Coffield is "Velma Mulholland", a woman who looks and acts in the style of film noir movies and her perfect imitation of Paula Abdul's ridiculous video for 'Promise of a New Day'.
    Also includes Jennifer Lopez as one of the original "Fly-Girls".

    Jim Carrey's impersonations were so amazing I can't imagine how good they would have become if that had been his primary form of entertainment. It really is unbelievable how talented he was on the first season of the show. He looked like he had been performing and developing characters for years rather than someone who was completely new in the business.

    Back in the day, we did not have all the time-sucking distractions of today, so we reflected on things and had more perspective and creative social insight. Today, most are looking to hack their thoughts and way of living, looking for shortcuts to thinking. Life is best lived being present and detached in the moment with an open mind, available and ready to experience the here and now. I don't see that as much today.
