“ In Living Color ,” the sketch comedy show that made stars out of the Wayans family, Jamie Foxx, Jim Carey, Jennifer Lopez, David Allen Grier and Tommy Davidson is coming back to TV with its creator and star Keenen Ivory Wayans at the helm. Instead of making it a weekly series as it was from 1990-1994, it will air on Fox as two half-hour specials for the network’s 25th anniversary. Buzzfeed’s Most Colorful City In America Keenen Ivory Wayans will host and executive produce both shows. However, there is an option to bring “In Living Color” back on a weekly basis if the specials receive good ratings. According to Deadline.com , Wayans is bringing a new cast to the show, but I really hope some of the vets return. Get more details about the return of “In Living Color” are available here .
