Kim Wayans Will Not Return to Fox's New IN LIVING COLOR

In a recent interview with Collider, comedian Kim Wayans has revealed that she will not be returning to the cast of IN LIVING COLOR. In October, Fox network announced that the 1990's hit show would be revived by original castmember Keenan Ivory Wayans in the form of two half-hour specials to air sometime in 2012.  

In commenting about the return of the show, Kim Wayans hinted that the revived version would include a fresh group of new comedians. "It's going to be a fresh, new cast," she told Collider.

Wayans did not entirely close the door on the possiblity of a cameo appearance on the show however. "If Keenan asked me to do a cameo or something, I'd blow the dust off my curlers and get back in that window," joked the comedian. "But, this is an opportunity for the young, upcoming comedians who don't really have a place that they can springboard out of. It will hopefully do, for a new generation, what In Living Color did for so many of us."

The original 'In Living Color' ran on the Fox network for six seasons. Many famous celebrities got their start on the show, including Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier, Jamie Foxx and 'Fly Girl' dancers Jennifer Lopez and Carrie Ann Inaba.
