In 'Living' memory
Comic Robert Schimmel was a writer in 1990 for "In Living Color," the hilarious show that starred the Wayans brothers, Jim Carrey, and Jennifer Lopez as a Fly Girl dancer. Schimmel wasn't laughing, though, when he recently ran into J.Lo.
He revealed the humbling encounter on WHFS' morning "Junkies" radio show in Washington, D.C., last week. "The writers used to eat with the dancers and the crew every day," said Schimmel. "Lunch and dinner for, like, a year. So I used to eat with Jennifer Lopez every night. And we'd crack jokes together, I mean all the writers and her and the girls.
"So I see her in a restaurant in L.A. and I said, 'Hey Jennifer, how ya doin'?' And she said, 'Who are you?'
"I said, 'Robert Schimmel,'" the comic recounted. "And she said, 'Do I know you?'
"I said, 'Do you know me?! You ate, like, lunch and dinner with me for a year during 'In Living Color.'" And she said, "I don't remember anybody from 'In Living Color.'"
Schimmel, not to be dissed or dismissed, replied: "Well, I'd get a checkup if I were you, because that wasn't too long ago, and if you can't remember that it could be the beginning of Alzheimer's disease."
A pal of Lopez tells us she is still friends with Keenen Ivory Wayans and some of her fellow dancers.
