"A fascinating inside look at the trailblazing series"
(Entertainment Tonight)--discover the behind-the-scenes stories and
lasting impact of the trailblazing sketch comedy show that upended
television, launched the careers of some of our biggest stars, and
changed the way we talk, think, and laugh about race: In Living
Color.Few television shows revolutionized comedy as profoundly or
have had such an enormous and continued impact on our culture as In
Living Color. Inspired by Richard Pryor, Carol Burnett, and Eddie
Murphy, Keenen Ivory Wayans created a television series unlike any
that had come before it. Along the way, he introduced the world to
Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier, Rosie Perez, and Jennifer
Lopez, not to mention his own brothers Damon, Marlon, and Shawn
Wayans. In Living Color shaped American culture in ways both seen
and unseen, and was part of a sea change that moved black comedy
and hip-hop culture from the shadows into the spotlight. Now, the
"in-depth, well-researched" (Library Journal, starred review) Homey
Don't Play That reveals the complete, captivating story of how In
Living Color overcame enormous odds to become a major,
zeitgeist-seizing hit. Through exclusive interviews with the cast,
writers, producers, and network executives, this insightful and
entertaining chronicle follows the show's ups and downs,
friendships and feuds, tragedies and triumphs, sketches and
scandals, the famous and the infamous, unveiling a vital piece of
history in the evolution of comedy, television, and black culture.
