My, how far we've come...
So I'm watching BET last night, checking out the "In Living Color" in syndication, and by sheer dumb luck I happened to tune into the first episode of Season 3, when several new cast members were introduced, notably Fly Girl Jennifer Lopez and comedian Jamie Foxx. Man, what a launching pad that show was.
Jim Carrey's success is well documented, and mostly everyone now knows J-Lo did the ILC thing before making it really big, but it was funny to see their debut, both displaying goofy "Aw, shucks" grins when Keenan Ivory Wayans introduced them to the live studio audience. They each got the obligatory welcome round of applause...but if we only knew what was to come I'm sure the ovation would have been much louder.
Proof positive for you get-rich-quick schemers that cutting your teeth and paying your dues pays off in the end.

Just ran across your post on the net. I agree how far they have come. I was there on stage when they were introduced. Actually, just a few feet away off camera. One thing I can say about them, they were driven to succeed.
