Recently, Davidson revealed an interesting fact about what happened after he kissed Jada Pinkett, wife of actor Will Smith, on the set of "Woo" in 1998. It almost led to a brawl, he said.
The actor disclosed that Smith was “triggered” by the kiss. After the situation cooled down and the sides were heard, he and Smith eventually patched things up.
Although the “In Living Color” TV series ended in 1994, many fans continue to follow the actor's career. He once spotted a young man wearing a jersey shirt with the TV show’s logo on it which made his day.
But the beloved series might be back on the television screens soon. Earlier, the “I Am Comic Star” said in ABC’s "The View” that there would be a possible reboot of the old TV show.
Davidson expressed excitement over the possibility of reuniting with his co-stars. The show’s 1990 cast included Keenan Ivory Wayans, Damon Wayans, Jim Carrey, Jennifer Lopez, and Jamie Foxx.
The iconic 90s sketch series became a stepping stone for acting neophytes in show business. These young actors are now hotshot Hollywood celebrities, such as Lopez, Foxx, and Carrey.
When the series celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2015, Davidson said that the show remained close to his heart. Many lives changed because of the experience they had on the TV show, he said.
