I know both MadTV and SNL haven't been as good as they were early on, but there are 2 diamonds in the rough...and both of them come from MadTV.
Aries Spears and Frank Caliendo
Aries Spears' Shaq impression, though not the most accurate, is downright hilarious with those crosseyes. Frank Caliendo is probably the most talented cast member I have seen in recent years. His John Madden, Bush, and Jay Leno impression are down to the wire...practically perfect. A true, true talent.
Will Sasso was funnier than all of them. The Kenny Rogers bit has got to be the funniest thing ever.
Well, yeah. Darrell Hammond was funnier than them too, but I was referring to current casts.Quote:

*nods* I loved MadTV during the more..middle years, but now I can't stand it.Quote:

:D
Current casts, I can't comment too much on, because I don't watch either show much at all now. Except reruns. I like MadTV tons better than SNL, and my favorite cast members were Michael MacDonald, Will Sasso, and Alex Borstein (solely for the Miss Swan sketches!).
SNL, meh......Guess I don't really have a favorite.
I haven't seen much of Mad TV, so I'm going with SNL.
Will Ferrell, Dana Carvey, John Belushi.
Ms. SWAN BITCHES! :love:
5 best of all time:
~Phil Hartman
~Mike Myers
~Norm McDonald
~Chevy Chase
~Darell Hammond
I'm not a big fan of MadTV...great magazine though!
CURRENT members only. Man...I thought I made my subtopic clear. :rolleyes2
lmao. I like that one!Quote:

I was raised on da dairy bitch!- Kenny Rogers impersonated by Will Sasso
At least a good handful of guys are too close to call when it comes to SNL, but the best aspect of MadTV was Phil LaMarr.
I don't watch new episodes of either. *shrugs*
Phil LaMarr was/is good, though.
People actually watch MadTV? Wow.
Seriously though. MadTV has got to be one of the worst shows on television. New SNL is pretty terrible too.
The newest episodes of MadTV haven't been aired in Norway yet, so I don't really know who the current ones are. But I think these are particulary talentful:
Nicole Sullivan, Mo Collins, That woman who plays retarded little sisters.
I think these are particulary funny:
Alex Borstein, Michael McDonald, That woman who plays retarded little sisters.
I think these are particulary dull:
Will Sasso.
Sorry about that. But, in that case, they all suck, except for Michael MacDonald with MadTV. SNL has sucked horribly for a couple years now.Quote:
