ILC didn't make jokes about just anybody or anything. Smh. They were very deliberate and relevant to the moment, and the great writing was Insightful and critical, as well as funny. It was not comedy at people's expense but a 1990 attempt to be truly inclusive, to really see folkx and get us all thinking. They were/There writing was so much smarter and more impressive than that.
@abrablue It was comedy..... you can be offended by anything..... and yes it was great writing but they "pushed it" alot and it wasn't anymore relevant then than now.... people just wouldn't expect it now like then. We weren't shocked by what was being said or done like kids are today.
Shawn Wayans, Tommy Davidson, and David Allen Greer played bachelors #1, #2, and #3 respectively. I was 14 years old when IN LIVING COLOR premiered in 1990. It literally became an overnight hit and launched the careers of so many talented performers, most of whom are still working today. If I recall, it aired on Sunday nights and I can remember getting on the school bus on Monday morning to talk about the prior night's episode with my friends. They attempted a revival in 2012 but Fox cancelled it before the pilot episode was even finished filming and it never aired.
This show was the best. Wayans Bros were WAY ahead of their time. A couple other people who got their start on this show are Carrie Ann Inaba and Jennifer Lopez as part of 'the Fly Girls' dance ensemble.
I really loved this show and appreciated the different perspective than mainstream. Truly ahead of their time and you just knew watching it they were going to be ome famous... or start making movies. This is where they honed their chops.
@@kathleenlindquist4799Yep. Jim, Shawn, David, and Tommy never saw Jamie as Wanda prior to recording. The director wanted their reaction to Wanda to be genuine. When you hear Jim yell “HOLY CRAP!!” when Wanda walked in, that wasn’t scripted. 😂
Jim carry improved the lipstick and Europe jokes on the spot. Also david allen grear reaction was real as he didnt see wanda in costume before the time of filming.
More and more people need to be reacting to the show! It is the best sketch, comedy show of all time, spanning careers of all the greats! And it laid the ground for shows like Chapelle show, and it was always funnier than Saturday night live!
One the best shows ever. They best snl in the ratings numerous times. Fun fact, this was the first time the 3 bachelor's had seen in Jamie Foxx in this get up--so the reactions were real! 😂
@@tyseemahbishop6123 Oh, snap! You're talking about the gossip lady! You're right. I'm thinking about the Debra Wilson sassy character from MadTV. Thanks for the headsup!
The one who won (Bachelor #2) was Tommy Davidson, who's a cool guy. I found out when he was born, he was put in a dumpster by his mother. He was rescued by a white couple and adopted by them!
I read his book and it was so sad that his mother did that to him. He went through a lot of crap in his life before he finally got his life together. I always liked Tommy Davidson, he is a cool guy for sure.
This show was just an utter breath of fresh air. So much success from this one show. At the time SNL fell 2nd to this show in ratings numerous times for variety comedy. Grammy winners, Academy Award winners, Emmy and even a Tony Award winner from off this one show. A show of shows if you will. We will never have a variety show like this ever again. America, WHAT HAPPENED?????
So many hysterical skits - any of the Wanda skits, but so many more. I think my favorite one with Wanda is the Dracula one, but this one is up there too.
That show was ahead of its time, that and Mad TV were way better than SNL. Speaking of Mad TV have y’all seen their skits on The Wizard Of Oz movie, they have two called “Alternate endings” that are funny AF
Also the chorographer when "In Living Color" premiered in 1990 was Rosie Perez. In either season 2 or 3, they had a brand new fly girl and it was none other than Jennifer Lopez herself. Jim Carrey auditioned for SNL multiple times and was rejected each time (1980, 1985 and 1986) and Damon Wayans was on SNL for the 1985-86 season but was fired after only 11 shows aired for doing improvising during a skit. Shawn started out as the DJ on the show (he went by SW1) before being promoted to a main cast member. And one of the greatest gems was the discovery of Jamie Foxx, who wound up doing a lot of Wanda skits with my all-time favorite the one where we find out she was originally part of the group "En Vogue" (and all the members of En Vogue appeared in the skit with Wanda where they ended it by doing the breakdown of "(My Lovin') You're Never Gonna Get It" and it is FUNNY!)
I enjoyed all of your reactions even if I feel like a dinosaur while laughing. In Living Color was a favorite comedy for my sons as teens and we’d all watch. It was a little bit of rewind watching all of your faces, thanks for that 😊
In Living Color not only launched the careers of Jaime Fox and Jim Carrey but the Wayans family, David Allen Grier, Jennifer Lopez and countless others.
Tommy Davidson was the “winner” and all the Wayans brothers were on there. Damon, Shawn, Marlon and Keenen. Chris Rock, Jim Carrey and David Allen Grier was the third guy. It was one of the funniest shows on tv in the early 90’s.
Wow - - Y'all got a chance to see one of the greatest TV Skits of All Time. There are many more (Great) "Wanda" skits - - but this one is a True Classic. p.s., Check out when Wanda meets Dracula !!! (Vampire movies & shows were Big in the 90s).
Shawn Wayans is one of the Wayans brothers. In Living Color was created by Keenan Ivory Wayans who also wrote and starred in the sketch comedy television series.The Wayans include Marlon, Damon, Shawn, Keenan & their sister Kim. Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carey, Jamie Foxx and David Alan Grier were some of the notables people that this show help get they start in show business.
This is such a spread myth. David Alan Greer was one of the best on the show for keeping his composure. This was the 3rd Wanda skit and he was in the first one. It was in the script for him to laugh at Wanda.
Jennifer Lopes- JLo- was a fly girl. Fly girls was the women dance crew, they dance for the audience during commercial breaks and opening sequence. Once in awhile they might play some back ground people in skits.
😆. Have you seen Jim as VANILLA ICE👍❤️ here in Living Color…. and Yes J Lo is one of the FLY GIRLS, her stardom was also here…. Must watch IN LIVING COLOR
I saw Daman Wayans & Tommy Davidson stand up. It was so freaking hilarious! This was a show you couldn't wait each week to watch. I say it all the time, but I miss the 20th century! lol
David Allen Grier (Jumanji) was #3. Tommy Davidson is #2; he is the guy that Wanda the Ugly Woman is always trying to catch. He does great physical comedy.
My favorite ones of Wanda is the one when she met Luther (Marlon) and the one about her and her sister. You guys should maybe check out those two and check out some fire marshal Bill (Jim Carrey)
These guys were killer. I watched them every chance I got. Try Men on Books, Sports, etc. Hilarious. The Jamaicans with multiple jobs were funny as H double hockey sticks. Nothing was sacred.
The reaction from David Allen Grier was actually the first time he saw Jamie Foxx in his Wanda costume which is why he had such a great reaction.
I remember hearing that - that was excellent
Actually the whole cast did not know until Jamie came out lol
I loved Jamie Fox Wanda impressions
Wanda was HYSTERICAL!!!
You gotta watch Wanda giving a massage skit!!!! HYSTERICAL!!!!
The one with the bloopers!
The blind date one was also hysterical! The massage skit though, might be legendary! LMAO... I still have the entire series on DVD.
God, I loved this show!! Men on film, fire marshal bill and homey the clown are all a must!! Believe me. 😂
Vera de Milo
One of the best shows.... back when you could make fun and laugh at everyone and everything. Also Mad TV...... Everyone loved them some Wanda .
We loved this show , but LA Wanda was my fave...
Exactly!!!!!!
Wanda is my hero. 😅❤❤

7:18 I LMAO when Jamie foxx as Wanda was kicking and swinging his arms around
like some kind of damned Kung-Fu Praying mantis 🤣

Loved that show and the dancers👍
Jim Carrey shook his hand like GOTCHA!! 😂
This show was the best. Wayans Bros were WAY ahead of their time. A couple other people who got their start on this show are Carrie Ann Inaba and Jennifer Lopez as part of 'the Fly Girls' dance ensemble.
I really loved this show and appreciated the different perspective than mainstream. Truly ahead of their time and you just knew watching it they were going to be ome famous... or start making movies. This is where they honed their chops.
If you want to go way, way back, I recommend watching Flip Wilson as Geraldine.
I used to watch The Flip Wilson Show when I was a kid.
I loved Flip Wilson. I used to watch it as a kid too.😊
Batchelor #3 had me dying when he broke down laughing and hugged the host.
Apparently, it was their first time seeing Jamie costumed as Wanda so that was David Allen Grier’s actual reaction.
@@kathleenlindquist4799Yep. Jim, Shawn, David, and Tommy never saw Jamie as Wanda prior to recording. The director wanted their reaction to Wanda to be genuine. When you hear Jim yell “HOLY CRAP!!” when Wanda walked in, that wasn’t scripted. 😂
This was all of their first time seeing Foxx as wanda 😂, real reactions no acting 😂
Jim carry improved the lipstick and Europe jokes on the spot. Also david allen grear reaction was real as he didnt see wanda in costume before the time of filming.
Go down this rabbit hole . Men on Films, Mo money, Homey the Clown and Fire chief!
#2 Bachelor: Tommy Davidson #3 was David Alan Greer
Also... Jennifer Lopez was a 'Fly Girl" (the dancers) on In Living Color!
More and more people need to be reacting to the show! It is the best sketch, comedy show of all time, spanning careers of all the greats! And it laid the ground for shows like Chapelle show, and it was always funnier than Saturday night live!
Yes, also when folks were real
The laugh Carrey & Grier have followed by the hug, never fails to make me laugh
So many great characters on this show.
Wanda the Ugly Woman was a classic.
One the best shows ever. They best snl in the ratings numerous times. Fun fact, this was the first time the 3 bachelor's had seen in Jamie Foxx in this get up--so the reactions were real! 😂
One of my favorite skits is Tommy Davidson as the client and Wanda as the massage therapist. .
That one is a crying, stomach hurts, can't breathe, too funny sketch.
@@eileencastillo6323 it sure is!
You have to see the "Men On Film" clips from In Living Color. They're hysterical!
I loved Wanda then and still love her today! Bonita Butrell was also a favorite character of mine in the show.
@@kingcassius2586 google Bonita Butrell. She was on In Living Color. Check your facts before you try to fact check me.
That’s in living color because it’s a Wayan sister who plays the character
@@tyseemahbishop6123 Oh, snap! You're talking about the gossip lady! You're right. I'm thinking about the Debra Wilson sassy character from MadTV. Thanks for the headsup!
@@kingcassius2586That’s Bunifa Latifah Sharifah Halifah Jackson. That girl was absolutely nuts! Loved her!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The best skit from In Living Color was "Men on Film" when the sandbag fell on Damon Wayons head and turned his character "straight".
It’s even funnier if you remember the actual Dating Game show in the 70s. There were some real bad matches back then when it was real.
Wanda was the best. Gotta do Jim Carry as Vanilla Ice.
The one who won (Bachelor #2) was Tommy Davidson, who's a cool guy. I found out when he was born, he was put in a dumpster by his mother. He was rescued by a white couple and adopted by them!
I think the other actor was David Allan Grier....
@@Laylalover85 yes David Alan Grier was in that skit too! They all became pretty famous after that show!
@@Laylalover85 The first Bachelor was Shawn Wayans.
I read his book and it was so sad that his mother did that to him. He went through a lot of crap in his life before he finally got his life together. I always liked Tommy Davidson, he is a cool guy for sure.
I love David A G he cracks me up.
This is my favorite skit from ILC. Wanda was a very popular character back then. There's also a skit where she met Envogue
FIND "FLIP WILSON AS GERALDINE" HILARIOUS😂
It's good to see you young'ens making sure this stuff lives on 🙂
This show was just an utter breath of fresh air. So much success from this one show. At the time SNL fell 2nd to this show in ratings numerous times for variety comedy.

If you haven't watched all of the Wanda skits you should. 😂
Your post are alot of fun. I grew up watching all this stuff. I'm a type dude that likes watching this stuff. Thanks .
The actors playing contestants really hadn't seen Jamie as Wanda so that was their real reaction when they ended the game 😅😅
I didn't know that! That makes it even funnier!
Many people don't know that was the first time the cast saw "Wanda" for the first time, so those reactions were genuine.
David Alan Grier was Bachelor No. 3. Do some of the "Men on Film" clips with Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier. Hysterical!
Omagod, y'all need to watch Jim Carey as Vera de Milo on In Living Color. Absolutely hysterical.
I love Jim Carey
I LOVE WANDA !!!!
So many hysterical skits - any of the Wanda skits, but so many more. I think my favorite one with Wanda is the Dracula one, but this one is up there too.
All the Wanda skits were funny. Wanda and the Vampire is hilarious and Wanda as the Massage Therapist too❤
That one still kills me. The vampire chose death😂
You have to watch In Living Color: Men on Film, their movie and TV review show.
LOOK VING COLOR WAS HILARIOUS, LAUNCHED NUMEROUS STARS!!❤❤❤❤❤
This show was awesome... introduced flygirls and hip hop to their audience
Holeeee... the confused look on their faces🤣🤣
This show was the BEST!
That show was ahead of its time, that and Mad TV were way better than SNL. Speaking of Mad TV have y’all seen their skits on The Wizard Of Oz movie, they have two called “Alternate endings” that are funny AF
One of the funniest shows ever
that show was fantastic

great post, could you guys please do more living color

Bachelor # 3 was David Allen Grier. He was the cop in the original Jumanji movie with Robin Williams.
This show was brilliant. I couldn't believe it when it went off the air after only a few seasons.
This show was awesome ,,,,,,never missed an episode back in the day....
J lo was a dancer on the show!!
I loved in living color I spent an afternoon binging on the show.
Love regular character Wanda on in Living Color. Hilarious!
Wow - - Y'all got a chance to see one of the greatest TV Skits of All Time.
There are many more (Great) "Wanda" skits - - but this one is a True Classic.
p.s., Check out when Wanda meets Dracula !!! (Vampire movies & shows were Big in the 90s).

David Alan Greer (#3) said when he turned the corner and saw Jamie Foxx as Wanda that was his first time seeing him. His reaction was very genuine
David Allen Greer did not see Jamie fox as Wanda until he came over to see him and he was shocked lol 😂
This is such a spread myth. David Alan Greer was one of the best on the show for keeping his composure. This was the 3rd Wanda skit and he was in the first one. It was in the script for him to laugh at Wanda.

This was and will always be one of the best shows on tv!😅
Fu. Fact..when they came around the corner that was the first time they’d actually seen Jamie dressed like Wanda. All reactions were genuine.😅😅😅
Dracula meets Wanda is the best by far!
Fun fact: David Alan Grier didn't see Jamie Foxx in costume before they shot this skit so him laughing was his natural reaction
❤ MUST watch Jim Carrey and Jamie Foxx do Dracula on In Living Color!!!!! ❤
This was an amazing show!!! You need to watch more of these🎉😂😂😂
We will! - Joe
This show was hysterical! Miss the good ole days. Poor kids today can’t laugh at much.
Tommy an DAG are so underappreciated.
Unfortunately.
😆. Have you seen Jim as VANILLA ICE👍❤️ here in Living Color…. and Yes J Lo is one of the FLY GIRLS, her stardom was also here…. Must watch IN LIVING COLOR
I saw Daman Wayans & Tommy Davidson stand up. It was so freaking hilarious! This was a show you couldn't wait each week to watch. I say it all the time, but I miss the 20th century! lol
Jim Carey also did a Vera De Milo & A Vanilla Ice Impersonation
Too, too funny! Real talent there!
David Allen Grier (Jumanji) was #3. Tommy Davidson is #2; he is the guy that Wanda the Ugly Woman is always trying to catch. He does great physical comedy.
The voice of Oscar Proud.
Hey Ya'll ILC also helped launch Jennifer Lopez and Rosie Perez who were Fly Girls.. Loved This Show ! Definitely goes along with SNL & MAD TV.
✌❤🙏
Wanda was soooooo funny!!! Loved that show!!!! 😂😂
Another happy couple. I think David Alan Grier was Contestant 3.
This was Wanda’s introduction to the show. That was their first time seeing her. David Allen Grier and Tommy Davidson! Legacy
My favorite ones of Wanda is the one when she met Luther (Marlon) and the one about her and her sister. You guys should maybe check out those two and check out some fire marshal Bill (Jim Carrey)
In living color, Jim Carrey in pretty buffed woman is funny funny funny
Oh I’m almost crying 😂😂
You guys need to review Jim and Damin as preachers. There are 2 skits of it.
This was the first time the cast saw Wanda.
Not true. This was the 3rd Wanda skit, not the first.
One of my favorites!!😂
These guys were killer. I watched them every chance I got. Try Men on Books, Sports, etc. Hilarious. The Jamaicans with multiple jobs were funny as H double hockey sticks. Nothing was sacred.
@typadudes a couple of suggestions. In living color Wanda as a massage therapist, and everybody hates chris miss morello being racist.
That is hilarious again.
You have to see Jim Carry as Fire Marshal Bill
Fun fact, none of the 3 bachelors had seen jaime foxx in the wanda makeup prior to the sketch.
Now do one on "Men on Film" from the same show 😂 it's hilarious 😂
You guys should check the skit with Tupac in it , it’s with Jamie fox and the guy that Wanda got the date with and they play security guards .
Make a run for the border was Taco Bell's slogan back then. That's why Wanda said to get her a chicken taquito.
You boys should check out. Welcome Back Carter.
More 70's first please
Love In Living Colour but so much more to explore
