Wild ‘N Out – The New Generation’s In Living Color

There have been episodes that have turned to events.

When Chance The Rapper came to the show it was reminiscent of when Kanye West came to the Wild ’N Out stage, both received multiple Grammy awards and it was truly a great moment.

With Chance’s episode there was just an electric energy and that turned into an hour special.

With the Season 11 premiere Nick was able to revisit his childhood & his Nickelodeon beginnings where there was an All That Takeover including SNL’s Kenan Thompson surprise entrance.

The 90’s Are All That

In 1994 two shows premiered that would go on to define a generation.

It was a tale of two coasts.

In Los Angeles one centered around six caffeinated 20-somethings trying to make it in New York.

And in Orlando the other was a cast of characters with different races and personalities.

 

In sketch comedy there has been one main constant, Saturday Night Live.

There were those who tried like Fridays & Saturday Night Special and those who were more successful like In Living Color and later MADtv but SNL for 40+ years has reigned supreme.

At the time there were no sketch comedy show targeted towards children, the options were staying upto watch or tape the shows. 

 

This changed when Nickelodeon added a new show to their lineup, All That.
