If you don’t include clips i’m sorry but i’m forced to tell you to eat a dikk
That was the point I lost feeling for the show until they started giving Will Ferrell more work.
The Hader cast was epic tho.
Facts.
Mad TV had me dying back in the day!
I would try to watch SNL, depending on the guest, but there was no comparison. SNL to me was the more popular show with "better" guests, but less consistent humor.
FYI, this cast almost got the show cancelled in 1995 and Lorne fired everyone but Spade and Hartman (he left).
If you look at the talent MAD had...obviously they didn't become as big as a lot of SNL people, but real shyt...Mo Collins is wayyyyyyyy funnier than most women that have come and gone through SNL. Jordan Peele was gonna leave MAD for SNL but thankfully decided to make his films.
Bobby Lee, Mo Collins, Key & Peele, Frank Caliendo,, Aries Spears, Michael Mcdonald, Deborah Wilson, Will Sasso and a couple other dope cast members will never get to be seen as legit, or legendary within sketch comedy as a whole host of unfunny motherrfukkers that were able to get an SNL placement.
Low ratings and heavily criticized. Lorne spent most of 1995 doing damage control. Will Ferrell, Cheri O’Terri, and Molly Shannon kept the show on in the late 90s.
that's surprising
