It's crazy how the cast of Mad TV mostly were bit players in other people's projects after this, other than Key and Peele, of course. SNL actors were far less talented but had the money behind them.
This is why, i do like sketch comedy on public television, same thing with comedy central. MadTV is golden! MadTV is better than modern SNL. The new snl is okay to me.
Can't try to compare this to SNL because it wasn't filmed live. It's hilarious, but it's scripted, rehearsed, and polished. SNL, though scripted, is harder to pull off.
You do realize that snl always had dress rehearsals and a writer's room, right? Although, to be fair, snl stopped being funny because it leaned so heavily into politics and current events.
This show was on with top ratings back when people had a sense of humor and knew how to laugh at satire and jokes overall! F**k WOKE-ISM! Bullshit! Go back to when things were not always 'politically correct' and skits were actually funny and made a person laugh!
