WAY ahead of its time, and unlike many shows from 30 years ago, it's still funny as hell.

(33,643 posts)Kinda like Eddie did on SNL a few years earlier.
Not that there weren't other great actors on the show, but Carrey really captured the public's imagination as the saying goes.

(32,350 posts)Jim Carrey was not intimidated - he held his own and he made the show even better.
I remember In Living Color being on Sunday nights, but maybe that was just in Pittsburgh. (?)

(21,646 posts)All of them it was to get the most laughs in a not mean, but comedic competitive way, and Carrey really would push the challenge which Wayans said was good for the whole cast
Plus Carreys own characters were some of the real crazy fun on the show.
