A kick-a$$ American sketch comedy show which originally ran on the Fox Network from April 15, 1990 to May 19, 1994. Brothers Keenen and Damon Wayans created, wrote, and starred in the program. The show was produced by Ivory Way Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Other members of the Wayans family—Kim, Shawn and Marlon—had regular roles, while brother Dwayne frequently appeared as an extra.
The show strove to produce comedy with a strong emphasis on Black subject matter. Its groundbreaking sketch comedy helped launch the career of male comedians and actors Jim Carrey (one of only two white members of the original cast, then credited as "James Carrey"), Jamie Foxx (a future Academy Award winner who joined the cast in the third season) and David Alan Grier (an established character actor who had worked in Keenen Ivory Wayans' 1988 motion picture I'm Gonna Git You Sucka). Its Fly Girl dance troupe helped launch careers of future actress/singer Jennifer Lopez (who joined the show in its third season), choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson, choreographer Carrie Ann Inaba (who was a Fly Girl from 1990 to 1992), and future Academy Award Nominee Rosie Perez (the show's choreographer 1990 to 1992).

Get the Liviu mug.Livia is a crazy, amazing girl who is sure to put a smile on your face. You might occasionally argue over petty things but you all will make up quickly. She is athletic and kinda short with beautiful brown hair and hazel eyes. No matter what she is there for you. She’ll ask to FaceTime for homework help and then you end up talking for an hour about relationships 😂. If you are lucky enough to be dating livia you need to be the best bf ever because she deserves the best. If she is your bestie then you all will hopefully be friends forever. She is very talented especially at running and art. Livia is beautiful and funny, a little insane at times but she is a great person and even tho she might sometimes be insecure everyone loves her.
Hold on let me call livia. We need to work on math homework.
