Keenen Ivory Wayans' groundbreaking Fox sketch comedy show debuted on April 15, 1990, airing for five seasons through May 19, 1994. "Happy 30th to the funniest sketch ever #inlivingcolor. I remember being on the set as my brothers and sister filmed the pilot," Marlon Wayans wrote on Instagram. "All i could think was 'man the sh*t is HILARIOUS'! It still holds up 30 years later. So proud to be a part of history. @keenenivorywayans is a brilliant visionary and teacher, @damonkwayans a beast and a comedic genius and my big sister Kim was magically talented. And that cast.... one of the best to ever do it! All stars. Blessed to be a part of that institution... the world needs it." As The Daily Show's Roy Wood Jr. points out, In Living Color was "A show so funny, the NFL created the Super Bowl Halftime Show to compete with the sketches they did live during halftime. Respect the GOATS."
