(CBS) Nineties nostalgia is already upon us with the return of "Beavis and Butt-Head" and Teen Nick's "The '90s Are All That" TV block, and now Fox is jumping on the bandwagon.

Fox is bringing back its early 90s sketch comedy series "In Living Color," with original producer Keenan Ivory Wayans as host and executive producer.

The network has reportedly ordered two half-hour primetime specials that will air midseason, according to Deadline.

"In Living Color" was a groundbreaking show, employing a cast of mostly African American comedians. The show also launched the careers of the Wayans brothers, Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez, who was one of the show's "fly girl" dancers.

The show ended its run in May 1994 after four years on air.
