Do you have a favorite sketch from In Living Color?

Last edited Wed Feb 7, 2018, 05:20 PM - Edit history (1)

My favorite recurring sketch was "Homey D. Clown"
My favorite one-time sketch was "An Elvis Sighting" ["Elvis is charging!"]

What a great show!

...it reminded me of the Harvey Korman and Tim Conway sketches on The Carol Burnette Show...a battle between the two to see which one could keep it together through the entire bit.

Bruno Mars has a recent song video that recreated the ILC years he even used their old set location and of course the look and colors in his video

I am using that as a 'gateway' to try to get the youngin teens to check out the old ILC shows .
Mentioning the Wayans family got them interested a little more

That and Second city and Monty Python. I said check these all out

Did Second city play nation wide? hope so - funny
