An underatted show

I liked this show. It appeared during the black comedy explosion of the early 1990's. Actresses like Lisa Nicole Carson and Paula Jai Parker were cast members.

My favorite comics were Kool Bubba Ice,with his tremendously silly hats,and Derrick Fox with his Chante character.

This show was part Saturday Night Live,part In Living Color,and part Def Comedy Jam. It was a spinoff of "Showtime At The Apollo" and came on after that program. It's late start was it's downfall. I think it would've lasted longer if it preceeded Showtime.
