In this special, the In Living Color star brings his stand-up act to New York City's Apollo Theater.

It's a set that in attitude and content is more explicitly aimed at black audiences than his Fox TV series is. The topics include selling out to Whitey, rap music, trends in dancing, street toughs, black nerds and people with noxious bad breath. He also heaps further abuse on some people (Whitney Houston, Mike Tyson, M.C. Hammer) who have had the temerity to object to the way they have been portrayed on In Living Color.

Wayans's routines are raunchy, rude, racial and oh, yes, let's not forget, funny.
