The stars of In Living Color are showing their support for Bruno Mars and Cardi B’s new video for “Finesse,” which pays homage to the sketch comedy series. The video, which dropped on Wednesday, shows Mars and Cardi dancing and having a good time on a set similar to In Living Color‘s iconic stage. The video also includes dope, Fly Girl-inspired choreography. Many of the stars from the sketch comedy series, including Kim, Shawn, Marlon and Damon Wayans, have show love for the video.
Kim Wayans tweeted Wednesday, “What an amazing tribute to # In Living Color! Made me emotional. Thanks for the love, Bruno. I’m a big fan!”

In Living Color ran for five season from 1990-1994, receiving an Emmy in 1990. The series launched the careers of a number of famous faces including Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey and Kim Coles. Many of the show’s Fly Girls went on to have big careers as well, including Rosie Perez, Laurie Ann Gibson and Jennifer Lopez. Mars took to Twitter on Thursday to thank everyone for their support, writing, “In Living Color was it growing up. Pop culture, comedy, fashion, dance and all y’all superstars.”
