Who is the Most Famous alumni from In Living Color?

Who knew what would end up coming out of In Living Color. Are there any Oscar winners from SNL?

Who's most famous?

Jim Carrey (or James Carrey on the show)

or

Jennifer Lopez (or fly girl j lo affleck anthony & the other 2)

or

Jamie Foxx (or Oscar winning Wanda, fo real doe)

or

pick a Wayan (Damon, Kenan, Marlon, Tito, Jermaine lol )

the most famous right now is most definitely Jamie Foxx, although it use to be Jim Carrey. I don't really generalize J-Lo with "In living Color" because she was just a dancer on the show, thats it.

The Wayans family are quite famous but not as famous as Jamie Foxx or Jim Carrey.

It's a shame though because they are truly funny.

Jim Carrey is by far the richest.

Jamie Fox will eventually be the most famous but he is not there yet.

i wonder if Carrey ever credits In Living Color for making him, sort of, known. It may not have been his first gig, but it sure did help put him on the map. I don't think there would have been an "Ace Ventura" if he hadn't had the chance to be on In Living Color.

If he doesn't credit it he's ignorant. That show made him and he was actually funnier on ILC than he has been in most of his movies. Without ILC, he would been making crappy movies like "Once Bitten" for the rest of his short career.

I saw Jim Carey give credit and thanks when The Waynes family were on Oprah and Jim recorded a tribute video for Kenan Ivory Waynes that Oprah played for him. Jim gave his thanks and love for he opportunity Kenan gave Jim on In Living Color.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Oh, and right now I think Jennifer Hopez is the most famous from the show. Jim second, Jamie third - Jamie is creepin' the fuck up though, but I still think people are enamoured w/ Jim Carey.

It's a tie between Carey (while not as popular as he used to be, still a huge star), Foxx (whose "Stealth"...and "Jarhead" proves not everything he touches turns to gold) and Lopez (even if her career bounces, she is still J. Lo). The Wayans, sadly, are barely on the map. They had a slight rebound with the first two "Scary Movie"s....even tough the second one kind of bit it but after the ridiclous 3rd, which I don't think involved the brothers at all, I think that the ship sailed.

I don't think he was very memorable on ILC. The only reason I know he was on SNL was because they keep showing those clips and shows he was in. I would say Chris Rock is up there but I barely associate him iwth ILC while I think many people remember Jamie, Jim and even Jennifer from the show.

The Wayan's are doing fine smile

Keenan will always have his directing career, of which the highlight was Scary Movie but he's never been overly visible...

Damon just had a successful few years on ABC w/ his sitcom that won some awards...

Marlon is a good actor & can always cash in on that, but he's funny as well...

Shawn... confused Shawn is still cute evillol He's the least talented but his brothers will always hold him up.

I ain't worried about them, they've always kind of coasted. Don't count them out cool
