IN LIVING COLOR; SEASON ONE, EPISODE NINE (TV)
Summary
One in this African-American-based sketch comedy program. Creator and star Keenen Ivory Wayans opens this program by introducing DJ SW-1 and the in-house dance troupe, The Fly Girls.
Sketches include the following: a "business seminar" with streetwise salesmen Whiz and Iceman about how to make the most of one's government funds, including how to "dress for success"; "America's Funniest Security Camera Videos," in which host Bob Saget introduces a recording of a violent convenience-store robbery; a stand-up comedy performance by "Andrea Dice Clay," who discusses her unsatisfying dating life in graphic terms; an installment of "Hey Mon!", featuring the hard-working West Indian Hedley family as the staff of a commercial airline; and an appearance at a child's birthday party by bad-tempered ex-convict Homey D. Clown, who refuses to perform the standard clown antics and instead relates the story of his unsuccessful trip to "Chez Whitey." Wayans introduces choreographer Rosie Perez at the close of the show. Commercials deleted.
