In this episode, I talk about the classic sketch, comedy series that was on the Fox network for five seasons. Kim Coles claimed that Kim Wayans was given roles that Coles felt were more suited for her. Did the Wayans have an advantage because they were related to the creator/producer of the hit show? That is the argument Kim Coles made in the book, Homey Don't Play That by David Peisner.
