How You Livin'? Large! Fox is Bringing Back 'In Living Color'
by Richard Sharp
MTV may have Beavis and Butt-Head, but Fox is just about ready to bring an even more powerful retro TV comedy superpower to the table -- Homey D. Clown!
That's right fly boys and girls, Fox announced this weekend that it's bringing back "In Living Color," the comedy showcase (with smokin' hot dance intervals) that helped launch the careers of Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey and Jennifer Lopez.
According to a press release from Fox, the show "will air as two half-hour specials in the spring of 2012. Exact dates to be announced."
No word yet on whether Damon Wayans and Jim Carrey will be back (and we're not holding our breath for a J. Lo-helmed Fly Girls squad), but the show will still have the signature Wayans Brother comedic bent.
"The specials will be hosted and executive-produced by original series creator/executive producer Keenen Ivory Wayans. This is a modern-day take on the hit sketch comedy show that will feature a new cast of fresh, young talent, as well as musical performances by special guests."
As Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather would say "two snaps" to that!
