Damon Wayans: Still Standing

1997 · 57 min · ★ 6.3 · Comedy

Emmy-nominated comedian Damon Wayans, who's perhaps best known for his work on the groundbreaking comedy sketch show "In Living Color," has a knack for creating funny characters. But he plays his most hilarious character yet in this gut-busting HBO special filmed live in front of an appreciative audience: himself. Riffing on marriage, kids, work and a variety of other topics, Wayans proves he's still relevant in the cutthroat world of stand-up.

Living Single is an American television sitcom that aired for five seasons on the Fox network from August 22, 1993, to January 1, 1998. The show centered on the lives of six friends who share personal and professional experiences while living in a Brooklyn brownstone. Throughout its run, Living Single became one of the most popular African-American sitcoms of its era, ranking among the top five in African-American ratings in all five seasons. The series was produced by Yvette Lee Bowser's company, Sister Lee, in association with Warner Bros. Television. In contrast to the popularity of NBC's "Must See TV" on Thursday nights in the 1990s, many African American and Latino viewers flocked to Fox's Thursday night line-up of Martin, Living Single, and New York Undercover. In fact, these were the three highest-rated series among black households for the 1996–1997 season.
