Where Are They Now: The Cast of In Living Color

The groundbreaking show debuted 35 years ago.

Where Are They Now: The Cast of In Living Color - When In Living Color debuted in the spring of 1990, the TV sketch comedy show was an instant sensation not only because it was funny but because it flipped the complexion of an overwhelmingly white television format. Show creator Keenen Ivory Wayans and his maverick (mostly Black) band of comic players unflinchingly lampooned everything from pop culture to American racism. And with musical guests like Rakim and Tupac, the show was also a major platform for a growing hip hop movement. On the 25th anniversary of this groundbreaking program, we take a look at the cast who flipped the funny of our Sunday nights.  (Photo: Timothy White/FOX)
