Behind the show.

Inspired by Mad magazine, MADtv built its sketch comedy around movie and television parodies, celebrity impressions, and outsized recurring characters. Performers including Debra Wilson, Nicole Sullivan, Alex Borstein, and Michael McDonald helped define its broad, irreverent style. The original Fox series ran from 1995 to 2009, followed by a CW revival in 2016.

A different show.
A whole new rabbit hole.
