Ep 7. Don King-The Early Years

In Living Color season 1 episode 7 is titled "Don King-The Early Years". The episode begins with a skit featuring the men of In Living Color in a barber shop, discussing how funny it would be to see a movie about Don King's early years. This leads into a mock trailer for the fake film "The Early Years of Don King", showcasing over-the-top scenes of a young Don King (played by Damon Wayans) embarking on his boxing and promoting career.

The episode then moves into a sketch parodying Don King's infamous hair, with the recurring character of Vera De Milo (played by Jim Carrey) playing a wig designer attempting to create a hairpiece for King. As always, the sketch features physical comedy and plenty of laughs.

The theme of hair continues with a music video parodying the popular song "We Are the World", titled "We're Spending Too Much Time Together". The video features the In Living Color cast all wearing identical curly perms and singing about being too close for comfort. The song and accompanying video are both hilarious and catchy.

Another musical number follows, with Tommy Davidson as Little Richard performing a medley of his hits. The audience is treated to Davidson's impressive vocal range and over-the-top stage presence, all wrapped up in a funny and energetic performance.

The episode continues with a sketch depicting an alternate ending to the popular film "Fatal Attraction". The sketch features Jamie Foxx playing Michael Douglas' character, who refuses to be manipulated by Glenn Close's character and instead enlists the help of his friends (played by the In Living Color cast) to take her down. The sketch is both a clever parody of the film and a commentary on gender roles in relationships.

The episode concludes with a sketch featuring Damon Wayans as a fast-talking, smooth-talking salesman trying to sell a variety of random products. The sketch is fast-paced and filled with humorous one-liners.

Overall, "Don King-The Early Years" is a hilarious episode of In Living Color, filled with topical humor, clever parodies, and hilarious characters. Fans of the show will not want to miss it.
