The former FOX sketch comedy show and SNL rival MadTV will be coming to the network who recently did their reunion show, the CW.

Great news.

Not sure how to feel about this one.

Oh, CW. Never change :D

This makes me so happy. Best TV related news in a long time for me. I always hoped another channel would pick it up.

I loved MadTV when I was 12....not sure how well the skits that I used to like hold up.

Is it confirmed that Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele are returning as well?

Exactly what I was gonna say.

Always preferred MadTv to SNL. Although looking back, some of MadTv's stuff was kinda obnoxious at times.

I have a love-hate relationship with this skit. Didn't know until years later that the male character is played by a female performer :lol:

Well THAT was obnoxious and did not age well at all...

yeah
 

i've always prefferred MadTV to SNL.

From my understanding some people are returning, but i doubt the big ones will be back, (Alex Borestein, Key & Peele)

but here's one of the best Key and Peele MadTV Sketches

My personal favorite.

I wonder which cast members will return.

but
 

i really wonder how long until marlon tries bringing back in living color.

premiere
 

July 26 9/8c

The new members of late-night sketch comedy ensemble are Carlie Craig (Todrick), Chelsea Davison (@Midnight writer), Jeremy D. Howard, Amir K (Argo), Lyric Lewis (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Piotr Michael (Disney Channel’s Wander Over Yonder, The Howard Stern Show), Michelle Ortiz (Life in Pieces, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) and Adam Ray (The Heat).

The new comedians will perform with members of the original show, which ran on Fox from 1995 to 2009. The original cast included Ike Barinholtz, Alex Borstein, Orlando Jones, Keegan-Michael Key, Phil LaMarr, Artie Lange, Michael McDonald, Jordan Peele, Will Sasso, and Nicole Sullivan

Whaaaat, Artie's gonna appear? Sick! I might actually tune in, then.

Reminder
 

TOMORROW 9PM on the CW the premier. CW taking MadTV to the HNL

CW? Original cast gonna be replaced by hot 25-something year olds? :lol:

Meh, bring back Key and Peele.

Where are you seeing that? I doubt it.

on now
 

Solid start.

hmm
 

Solid first episode. The first skit had me cracking up (the gameshow with Hilary and trump) very flavor of the month so far as skits go. But good to see it back.

The Blind Kung Fu master returns next week. Looking forward to that!
