TV's sketch comedy boom is hip, smart and inclusive

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - The new IFC sketch show "Sherman's Showcase" wasted little time in mocking preconceived notions about its expected audience. In reality, it's been four years since Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele's Emmy-and-Peabody-winning Comedy Central show "Key & Peele" ended and TV's sketch market is growing increasingly racially diverse. He added that "I don't think any of these sketch shows coming out are going to look the same or even, or even deliver the same kind of jokes. While the name "A Black Lady Sketch Show" does emphasize the historical significance of this series, it was almost called the somewhat less inclusive "The Black Lady's Sketch Show." "Sherman's Showcase" is currently airing on IFC and "A Black Lady Sketch Show" airs on HBO.
