the voice of Lois Griffin
Orlando Jones had a couple year run as well lol
Will Sasso could have been bigger
Scraping the bottom of the barrel.
It ran for 13 years and didnt produce a single star. It produced a couple c- d listers. The talent was never there. Hence why it didnt last or didnt launch any notable careers.
It was always a bootleg snl.
Andy samberg and jason sudekis are bigger than anybody on mad tv. And they were after 2003. Hell bill hader and kristen wiig are on par. So is fred armisen and will forte. And none of them are all that big, though id argue jason sudekis is. I mean hes been the star of several big comedies now.
Which leads into my other point of you saying the snl cast are either boom or bust which is false.
It produces a lot more smaller comedians that get work than it does anything else. On average they produce about 1 breakout star per cast and 3-4 that get work in smaller shyt. The norm macdonald, tracy morgan and fred armisens of the world. Hell guys like rob riggle, or tina fey, plys the mentioned andy samberg, bill hader, kristen wiig...every cast is filled with c and d listers.
