Homey D. Clown is still around - at least in the person of his creator, Damon K. Wayans, who is now 57 and in 2015 announced his retirement from stand-up comedy. More on Mr. Wayans here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Wayans More on convict-turned-clown Herman Simpson, alias "Homey D. Clown" here: http://inlivingcolor.wikia.com/wiki/Homey_D._Clown "Homey don't play that!" I can remember saying that a bunch of times in my last years at work.
