Description
Abandoned as an infant on the streets of Greenville, Mississippi, and rescued by a loving white family, Tommy Davidson spent most of his childhood unaware that he was different from his brother and sister. All that changed as he came of age in a society of racial barriers - ones that he was soon to help break. On a fledgling network, Tommy joined the cast of In Living Color, alongside other relative newcomers including Jim Carrey, Rosie Perez, Jamie Foxx, and Jennifer Lopez - all united by an ingenious throng of Wayans siblings, poised to break new ground.
Tommy gives listeners the never-before-told behind-the-scenes story of the first show born of the Hip Hop Nation: from its incredible rise, to his own creation of such unforgettable characters as Sweet Tooth Jones and appearing in such classic sketches as "Homie the Clown" and the unforgettable "Ugly Woman", through guest-star skirmishes to backstage tensions and the eventual fall of this pop-culture touchstone. And he also shares his very personal story of living with - and being inspired and empowered by - two distinct family histories.
Told with humor and hard-won honesty by a singular voice whose family and friendships help him navigate a life of personal and professional highs and lows, Living in Color is a bracing, illuminating, and remarkable success story.

Amazing listen....
I don’t really like to leave reviews b/c I generally think no one really cares about my opinion but this time I felt compelled to write something.....
This book came my attention when Mr Davidson made an appearance on radio morning show The Breakfast Club. In the interview Tommy started telling portions of his story (despite Charlemagne Tha God telling him to not give to much away). I’m glad he did. The few parts he told of his childhood, his time on In Living Color and his relationship with his adopted family was enough to have me searching for weeks for this book.....
Admittedly so, Tommy wasn’t my favorite comic growing up. His brand of comedy didn’t necessarily appeal to me. This is not to say that I didn’t find him funny in his movies or on In Living Color but his POV from behind the scenes of one of the most iconic shows was remarkable.
It took me two days to listen it from end to end. I was glued to my phone. It was easily one of the best bios I’ve read/listened to.
My only gripe is I would have loved to of heard more about his addiction and his journey out of that dark place. But nonetheless it was an amazing read/listen.
5Stars from me
