"Out of 30 years of Second City I was probably the third African-American with the main stage cast. I was surprised when I first heard that. I think part of the reason that improvisation has never been popular with African-Americans is that it isn't popular in the inner cities"

This quote by Tim Meadows speaks to the absence of representation of African-Americans in improvisational comedy. Meadows himself was only the third African-American to be part of the primary phase cast of Second City in 30 years. This lack of representation is unexpected to him, and he believes that the reason for this is due to the fact that improvisation is not popular in the inner cities. This could be due to an absence of access to resources, or an absence of understanding about the art form. It might also be due to a lack of representation of African-Americans in the field, which might lead to a lack of interest in the art form. Improvisation is an essential form of funny, and it is very important to guarantee that all people have access to it. Improvisation can be an excellent method to reveal imagination and to inform stories, and it must be available to everybody.
