The premise

Here’s the bit.

Mo Collins plays Madonna, who introduces herself as "Madonna Ritchie" and, in a plummy faux-British voice, announces to the camera that she has resolved to give up making films. Stock footage follows of concert crowds, a packed Congress and a stadium mob erupting into jubilant cheers at the news, before the segment cuts back to Madonna, who stands glaring with her hands on her hips and finally crosses her arms in offended silence.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Hi, I'm Madonna Ritchie.

A fortnight ago, I was pondering my New Year's resolutions, and I, for one, have decided from now hither to cease making films.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

Collins's Madonna introduces herself as "Madonna Ritchie," a nod to the singer's marriage to director Guy Ritchie. His remake Swept Away, starring Madonna, opened in October 2002, three months before this episode aired, to overwhelmingly negative reviews and a box-office failure. The same episode also featured New Year's resolutions from Frank Caliendo's John Madden and Aries Spears's Shaq.
