      @WALL91NUTZ Uh, that's Academy Award winner, Jordan Peele. 😉 My comment was really more of a critique of the show's writers than the on-screen talent.
      SNL has spawned LEGENDS in the world of entertainment, no one is taking that away from them, but when it comes to a bulk of their skits, it's often dry, courtesy laughs with the occasional standouts.
      At the time when MADtv was hitting its stride, Fox was still finding its footing as a contender in the network wars. I think if MAD had been on ABC or CBS, it would've had possibly greater exposure, but with Fox--because they had that younger demographic--it was able to get away with much riskier & often funnier sketches; just like it's predecessor, In Living Color (which was also funnier than SNL)

    Let's be truthful, MADTV was on FOX, the same FOX that canned In Living Color, cause Keena Wayans was a strong, powerful black man who wasn't going to let them run his show. MADTV thought the same was as Keena, the right way, so FOX did what they always do, can a great sketch show. If MADTV was on Comedy Central Saturday Night Live would be off the air, and MADTV would be pumping out great sketches/talent.

      This. After 3 years, everything went downhill in mid 1992. Keenan had tons of creative control over ILC. After his brother Damon left for Hollywood, the Family run Sketch Comedy brand began to crumble as Keenan was firing people left and right. It was in 1993 when He was dismissed by FOX executives. Fax Bahr took over and even hired Chris Rock who had been turned down by The Wayans due to nepotism back in ‘89. But with ILC no longer family managed, the end was near and even Jim Carrey knew that. He already informed FOX that he wasn’t going to renew his contract after 93-94, with Carrey out, Fox decided that ILC couldn’t survive without Carrey or his creative control direction. So they canceled it.
      Fun Fact: MadTV was originally supposed to sneak peak pilot in November 1994 and begin its run in the Spring of 1995. But ILC executives wanted a Spinoff of ILC instead so House of Buggin’ debuted and ran during the Autumn of 1994 instead. In February 1995 after 8 disastrous shows with immensely poor ratings(It went up against MTV’s budding Gen X fledgling sketch comedy The State), Fax Bahr finally got his way as FOX went full steam ahead with MadTV.

    I remember living color and mad tv I still follow Bobby Lee in his podcast and what mo collins does, I mean all of them are great talents, and its a shame that they didn't continue supporting the show and yes it was raunchier and sarcastic and smart compared to SNL, even some sketches wouldn't run by today's standards but they had soo much more to offer, I hope they can come back or so a special or something I miss seeing variety in a sketch show and not just the same jokes every week.

    If you watch the top clips of MadTv now you will feel like you used to live in a parrallel universe or alternate timeline, You realize all the race jokes, gay jokes, gender jokes, fat jokes that were simple and slid in between moments have been taken out of everything. They literally had a white guy say the racist jokes to the black actors, Today they would never, AND EVERYONE was ok with it because they WERE AIMING for americans of all races to join in on the fun and the middle class younger adults.
    I didn't realize how badly wokeness affected even me because watching it made ME shocked when I thought that part of me was still in tact.. Some of it obviously got damaged if it made surprised re watching it, It was so normal and FUN, It made life feel raw and real, and everyoen in society being exposed to that daily actually seemed to have MORE appreciation for eachother because there was NO ELEPHANT in the room. People could BREATH! Laugh and actually Love being around others
    especially at comedy shows where they pulled NO punches, It's why comedians who even dip there toe just a little get the audience back so fast, People can feel the void and are sick of the virtue signalling. People back then instinctivly knew racism was wrong and that was why it was being joked about, You didn't need to really talk about it because when someone WAS being actually racist they looked as absurd as the characters on tv shows. They were laughed at!
