There have been a number of sketch comedy shows that lived in the shadow of Saturday Night Live to varying degrees of success. Of all of those shows MADtv –a spin-off of the magazine of the same name– is probably the most well known, loved, and longest lasting. While MADtv hasn’t been on the air in years –is ran for 14 seasons on FOX– the show will celebrate its 20th anniversary special January 12 at 8/7c on The CW.
Many of the shows stars have done well for themselves and 19 of them are returning for the special. On hand will be Ike Barinholtz, Alex Borstein, Mo Collins, Crista Flanagan, Anjelah Johnson, Nicole Randall Johnson, Keegan-Michael Key, Phil LaMarr, Artie Lange, Bobby Lee, Michael McDonald, Arden Myrin, Nicole Parker, Eric Price, Will Sasso, Aries Spears, Nicole Sullivan, Stephnie Weir and Debra Wilson.
In honor of this upcoming special, 75 of the funniest MADtv episodes will be streaming on CW Seed beginning on January 5.
