This week on Coolest Geek Alive, we’re giving flowers to one of the most groundbreaking sketch comedy shows of all time—In Living Color. From the fearless social satire to the launch of iconic careers like Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, the Wayans Family & MORE! Jesse Blaze Snider breaks down how this '90s classic shaped modern comedy, pop culture, and what it means to truly push the boundaries of comedy with style. A bold, hilarious, and unapologetically raw tribute to the show that made us laugh, think, and dance during the commercial breaks.

Jesse Blaze Snider is the hero we need, bipartisan & scrutinizing. Like a nerd culture Arthur Fonzarelli, he will give you that perfect advice you need or jump some sharks to save the day himself. He’s a geek like you. A fan of the source material FIRST, who believes that geeks need to get their geek news from other geeks or it’s all bull$#!+. He’s a professional comic book writer whose credits include Marvel, DC, Image, Disney*Pixar, the Muppets & a lot more. He’s an English major, a music minor & a damn good broadcast journalist since the age of 19. Truly, you’ve never met a more humble taste-making mortal than this lovable muppet of a man. He even wrote this bio. JBS believes that the world deserves better MYTHS and he’s NOT GONNA TAKE IT…not anymore. Some things…are worth fighting for. Join us, won’t you?
