    In this clip, Tommy Davidson opened up about getting cast on "In Living Color," which he said he initially didn't want to do because he was getting offers from Disney and lead roles in big TV shows. However, after being on "In Living Color," Tommy spoke about the show taking off due to the talented Black writers and the comedians, and he also spoke about the show winning an Emmy. Speaking more about the show, Tommy detailed impersonating various celebrities, including Michael Jackson, which he demonstrated.

    Keenan Ivory Wayans described Tommy Davidson as a new age Sammy Davis Jr. A guy who could do comedy, sing, dance, and was an all around performer.
