If you were looking for sketch comedy in the 90s, you turned to either SNL or In Living Color. The latter, which was ghetto humor + Jim Carrey, was created by Keenan and Damon Wayans in 1990. It’s famous for launching the careers of Carrey, Jamie Foxx, the Wayans family, David Alan Grier, and Jennifer Lopez. Those actors spawned many memorable characters and recurring sketches, and below are my Top 10. _

    Aahh...the classics. Don't know that I would put Fire Marshall Bill at #1 though. Kinda felt Jim beat that character into the ground (similar to how Mad TV does their popular characters). I was always a fan of Kim Wayans' Benita Butrell character "I ain't one to gossip, so you didn't hear that from me". Or Keenan's Rick James-like character, Frenchie. Quality sketch comedy that show.

    Oh God this was such a great show! Loved Fire Marshall Bill, Vera grossed me out but in a good way. Homey was awesome especially when he told stories. Dirty Doz was one for the books. And thank you AlanaG I totally forgot the Homeboys Shopping Network!!
  • Does anyone else remember Jim Carey as Dickie Peterson? He was like a fake special agent and would talk on a walkie talkie to his grandma haha. Woodchuck to Gray Squirrel....Woodchuck to Gray Squirrel...Come in Gray Squirrel...Man he was hilarious and this show was awesome.
