https://youtu.be/P8HYnGlI40gOn April 5, 1990, the Fox network premiered In Living Color, a sketch comedy based around African-American humor. However, during its five-season run, the show got into conflict with the censors at times, and eventually led to the departure of the Wayans brothers in the fifth season. One of the earliest instances of this to occur happened with a sketch entitled "Bolt 45,"(a parody of Colt 45 commercials).
The censors believed this sketch implied ? due to the date passing out ? and spreading her legs, and the host getting on top of her. It was cut out of its parent episode, but then on its May 5, 1990 broadcast debut, the master tape was mixed up, and the wrong version was shown. Fox then immediately had the original master tape destroyed, and as a result, it has never been included in repeats of the episode or the DVD release of the first season.

Deleted entirely from all syndication and DVD versions, and never re-aired on network repeats, “Bolt 45” managed to see the light of day on May 5, 1990. A parody of the Billy Dee Williams commercials for Colt 45 beer was interpreted by Fox to be mocking ? , and Keenen Ivory Wayans lost his argument that it was only mocking the beer. Wayans begrudgingly agreed to cut “Bolt 45” before Kim Coles’ character passes out on the table, but a network employee (according to Keenen) aired the wrong cut and was almost fired for it.
Anne Marie Johnson didn't get on the show until 1993 -

I died laughing when he sniffed the beer rings. And then when ole girl requested a paper bag and a straw after downing a few. Keenan was a master of comedy and I would bet money he was behind the "mistake" of airing it during prime time.
I did not expect him to throw her leg up in the air like that. He knew it would cause a stir. -
