The ’90s were a magical time that many who lived their formative years through will claim as the best. The music and the fashion were just a couple of elements that make it stand out in pop culture. From 1990-1994, Fox aired a predominantly Black sketch comedy show called “In Living Color” (via IMDb). Dubbed “TV’s most dangerous sketch comedy series,” according to Level, it was created by Keenen Ivory Wayans.

Quite a few of our most beloved stars of today can credit their success to the daring show. Some of those stars include Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, David Alan Grier, and, yes, Jennifer Lopez (per IMDb). Thanks to rom-coms like “The Wedding Planner” and “Monster-In-Law,” we now know JLo can hold her own in a comedy. But from 1991 to 1993, it wasn’t the laughs that got her on the “In Living Color” soundstage, it was her talent as a dancer

The comedy series had a format that was a bit unique at the time. At the top of the show and right before commercial breaks, the audience would be treated to Wayans’ younger brother Shawn “DJ SW1” Wayans spinning popular tunes. As an added bonus, a group of five young dancers — known as the Fly Girls — would perform. The same year, JLo was able to show her dance moves as a back up dancer for New Kids on the Block at the 1991 American Music Awards (via the Daily News).
