"In
Living Color" is coming back to life. At least for a little
while.
Fox announced on Friday that
they will revive the classic 90s sketch comedy show in
the spring of 2012, airing at least two TV specials that
will be hosted and executive produced by the show's
original co-creator, Keenan Ivory Wayans.
During a revolutionary run between 1990 and 1994, "In
Living Color" gave the sketch format an edgier, urban
twist, and launched the careers of the large Wayans clan --
Damon, Shawn, Marlon and Kim all co-starred -- as well as
David Alan Grier, Jim Carrey and Jamie Foxx. Jennifer
Lopez, who led the Fly Girls dance troupe on the show, also
got her big break from the series, as did her fellow dancer
Rosie Perez.
The network said that the "modern-day take" on the classic
"will feature a new cast of fresh, young talent, as well as
musical performances by special guests."
Air dates have yet to be announced.
