MadTV was great because they didn’t have major celebrities hosting each week, so they weren’t beholden to their egos. Which of course meant they could roast the hell out of most celebrities. It was truly great 😄
That’s the only reason why snl has been around for a long time it rides on the coattails of the hosting of celebrity’s to where mad tv didn’t witch I loved mad tv over snl
Agree. They were doing some killer comedy. "He look.... LIKE A MAN." It was like "UH-OH! Hot dog!" Steven Seagal's America. It was MadTV at 11pm and then (possibly) a switch over to SNL at 11:30pm. Tough decision!
You're generation is slow! I understood all the jokes I could watch on SNL in the 70's and 80's! John Belushi, Eddie Murphy, Dan Ackroyd etc! I was 8n kindergarten then grade school! Nothing looked different as an adult! Well maybe not slow, just the brain washing started in the 90's, so you all think this is dark and weird! Your generation is weird with no sense of humor!🤦🏿♂️🙄🤷🏿♂️👌🏿✌🏿👍🏿💪🏿😇
1:59. Phil Lamarr is an amazing impressionist. He looks and sounds just like Nat King Cole. His Rick James impression is so funny and spot on. The whole cast is talented.
Hilarious! "I didn't say stop". And then he goes offset, mistakes a back drop for a urinal, pees on Natalie Merchant (who is murdered) and interrupts a silly game show, pees on Robert Englund and then goes into another room with a bunch of people, still peeing, to determine who murdered Natalie Merchant. This show was the greatest comedy show of all time. What originality.
Bill Al That’s okay. They’re both currently recording that cover of ‘Ebony and Ivory’ we so desperately crave right now in hell. We’ll get to enjoy it when we get there.
[Bjork playfully jumps onto Kenny's back] Kenny: "Whatcha doin' there, little fella?!" [Kenny proceeds to swing Bjork around and bodyslam her, not so playfully]
"omgosh it's a scary ghost!" 😂 His tongue always out..I love this bit!! I miss mad tv... They need to have a reunion podcast to have commentary on old skits with the cast members.❤
You know you're good when a celeb actually tries to sue you for making fun of them on one of these shows. But that's exactly what happened when Kenny Rogers tried to. LMAO
its scary... how degrading it is for censorship to be in this kind of generation, where these kinds of stuff are badly necessary and needed. instead we got nagging teenagers and karens who are sensitive and pretentious, that they can form a mob to just cancel these kinds of shows. its sad.
@@I3rianD I find many things funny. I laugh every day. This is badly written, badly acted, badly conceived. Fun fact: just because it's on TV and called "comedy", doesn't make it funny.
@@tarp11z Well, you are allowed to have an opinion, but, I would say, take into account that your opinion that the show was awful is in the minority. It's an unpopular opinion.
Will Sasso is great, since seeing his Kenny Rogers on madtv I can't take the real Kenny Rogers seriously I would think he would come out with a bottle of jack at concerts. Fun fact: Kenny Rogers was pissed at these skits which makes them even funnier.
CD loaded with Kenny's other classic duets, including w/: Joe Cocker: "With A Little Help From Depends" Amy Grant: "Highway To Hades" The Andrew's Sisters: 'Enter Mr. Sandman" Johnny Cash: "Wholesome Whizzin' Meatloaf: "You Took The Fries Right 0ut 0f My Mouth" Bob Dylan: "Can You Understand A Word Were Singing?

I would give a year of my life to see Kenny Rogers & Ol' Dirty Bastard sing Ebony & Ivory together.
😂😂😂😂 that would be awesome funny .😂😂😂
the MadTV years with Sasso are on par with the very best years of SNL.... Sasso is criminally underrated.
Was that jeremy piven at the end
Agreed. It’s unfortunate he didn’t make it big
Hah ahm Kenny rogers an this is jackass
Still to this day.
The man is a Treasure.

Mad tv is so much better as an adult. They pulled off a lot of ballsy and just dark and weird stuff. Its great.
I said the same thing and catch hella shit from all the snl ass wipes

Thanks for the info captain obvious
I miss that show. It was so funny.
@@rhuttrho88 It depresses me that it's been supposedly revealed Chevy Chase was and is a douchebag. He was so funny!
The Marilyn Manson part took me TF out!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIP Kenny Rogers!
I wonder which one of the writers Kenny Roger offended……
Me too 🤣☠️
“Well I didn’t say stop!” 😂
Right!!!!! Omg I can’t imagine being in that audience when they showed this. I would be in tears laughing
Will Sasso is so talented just a gem
Meh. Not so much.
until he starts up with his far-leftist rhetoric
The real Steven Seagal! LMAO
@@tarp11z Yes he is.
@@treyjetson5320 No, no he's not. Sorry. Someone had to tell you.
The bit with Bjork is just legendary :)
What you doing there little fella?
Using a real vocal track was a nice touch.
The actress who played cher is just too unbelievably funny 😂😂 also will sasso is a freakin' legend man...
Mo Collins you mean. Funny lady 🤣
Yes Indeed 💯 Mo Collins was AWWWSEME Fuuuuny & Very Talented 🤣💙💗👏
Mo collins
Mo Collins, Stephanie weir and Debra Wilson are underrated talents!
1:59. Phil Lamarr is an amazing impressionist. He looks and sounds just like Nat King Cole. His Rick James impression is so funny and spot on. The whole cast is talented.
"In conjunction with the IRS" 😅😅😅
The Marilyn Manson Part killed me. 🤦😆🏆
Same here! "Well, I didn't say stop!" 😂
@@coryrofo 🤦😆
Was it just me or did it look like Marilyn's crotch was totally exposed?
Alex Borstein's Bjork was spot on!
Two bah two is four
Yeah that was pretty accurate
That Nat King Kole impression was spot on.
I thought they just had a tv recording and spliced it in there 😅😂
The descent of Madtv’s Kenny Rogers was glorious. With each failed endeavor he got more and more drunk
"OMG IT'S A GHOST IT'S A SCARY GHOST!!!" ...Lmao!
I fucking cried when I first saw this hahahaha
MadTV on Saturday nights back in the days. Bringing back some great pre-teen era memories and laughs.
I thought it was on Fridays?
@@tylertyler82 Saturdays at 11 pm.
RIP Kenny Rogers, a true legend
He can stop peein' now
RIP. At least he was able to avoid a grueling death from a Covid infection, just as the pandemic got worse the month he died.
@Overlords Control Mr. Rogers did die a grueling infection death? I do not watch Television and News.
Convoy- with Fiona Apple.....i literally started crying 😂
Lol and they kept spelling her name wrong
Still better then the majority of the snl offerings.
Bjork was too funny.
“Thank You Anne. Murray”
Hysterical !!!
Alex Borstein was spot in with her impression! I love when Bjork is on Lowered Expectations!
🤣🤣🤣
It was s great Bjork and a great Cher.
Will Sasso makes the perfect Kenny Rogers
Even as a kid I loved this and laughed my ass off. Glad I have always had a great sense of humor.
I bought this CD and I have hours of wonderful listening pleasure.
Kenny Rogers body slammed Bjork. LMAO 😂
I think we've all wanted to do that.
That's how you propose in Island
Lmao the bitch fell hard too
with extreme prejudice.lmfao
Heey waadgy doon little feller SLAM! Dairy BITCh
"Fiona Appel"
" God Bless America with Sinead O'Connor"
XD
I was dying of laughter 😂 😂😂😂 with the Marylin Manson part when he said I didn’t say stop.
If this show was not canceled. Man the Era we were in
Rip Kenny Rogers 🙏
My heart will go on with Rob Zombie!!hahaha!!!
Alex Prado I would pay to see that
And. Convoy with Fiona Apple!
The song just might work with him
RIP KENNY ROGERS
RIP The Gambler.
Alex Borstein was BORN to play Björk.
Still one of my favorite Mad TV sketches 🤣
The best sketch comedy show of all time.
I would buy any album where Kenny Rogers sings Convoy with Fiona Apple. Not sure why that was never actually recorded. Guaranteed hit.
Is MadTV intentional to mistype Fiona Apple as "Appel" ?
My favorite Kenny bit! Rest in peace Kenny!
He will be missed.
MadTv is the most underrated show. They had some amazing characters and amazing actors and comedians!
I really, really ...REALLY wanna see our lovable character do a duet with Ol' Dirty Bastard. Too bad the Dirt McGirt is gone.
"Thank you Anne Murray.." LOL. Will Sasso...as good as it gets.
I love this fucking skit.
"What are you there little fella!!!""
hilarious. Mad Tv always had gifted comedians. all underrated.
Mo Collins was a smokeshow! Crazy how well she could play a frumpy mom, too 😅
Will Sasso was the best on this show. His Steven Seagual, Arnold, and any other celebrity impressions were hilarious.
RIP Kenny Rogers

@@mikesmokesweed I'd actually would want to hear that, and Dude Looks like a lady with Luciano Pavoratti.
I want to hear all of those duet songs listed
This is hysterical! I laughed so damn hard 😭😭😭😭😭
You knew it was going to be good from the outline of "Kenny" gesticulating wildly at the beginning, hahaha.
[Bjork playfully jumps onto Kenny's back]
Kenny: "Whatcha doin' there, little fella?!"
[Kenny proceeds to swing Bjork around and bodyslam her, not so playfully]
My heart will go on with Rob Zombie sounded like a banger.
Will Sasso: " Hi! I'm Kenny Rogers!"
Me: "Damn it! I pissed myself!"
All the Kenny Roger's skits I've seen on MadTV are absolutely hilarious😂😂😂😂😂.
Mo slayed Cher.
"omgosh it's a scary ghost!" 😂 His tongue always out..I love this bit!!
I miss mad tv... They need to have a reunion podcast to have commentary on old skits with the cast members.❤
HERE HOLD MY CUP!!!immediatly chuggs his whisky bottle
I feel chris farleys spirit coming out thru wills performance BOTH AWESOME PERFORMERS 😂
Sasso played with farley in Beverly Hills ninja i think.
Gangsta's Paradise with Helen Reddy made me laugh so hard, I could have peed on Kenny Rogers!
Are we gonna ignore the fact that Mo Collins looked smoking hot as Cher!!!😍😍
You know you're good when a celeb actually tries to sue you for making fun of them on one of these shows. But that's exactly what happened when Kenny Rogers tried to. LMAO
HAL 9000 lier LMAO 😀
That is so true and that makes the skits even funnier
Who played Marilyn Manson?
He's not bad.
@@kenterminateddq5311 Stan the Coffeeman! Aka *Pat Kilbane
What!? I never knew about that. Do you happen to have a link to any article about that?
Random Helen Reddy reference. That’s awesome!
If this show was to come back and bring back the old actors this world would be done
The Leftists would have epileptic aneurysms, and herniate their bottom surgeries...
The whole MADtv cast was great
Will Sasso’s Kenny Rogers is one of the best things to ever grace television. 🤣😆🤣😆🤣
Want to play s game, Tara?
In conjunction with the IRS... LOL
He called Cher, Anne Murray 😃
I would have loved to have seen those other duets. God this show was funny.
But they blaspheme god to much
Will Sasso is a North American treasure
So is David Duke. Just saying
I miss the old days, watching mad tv and eating ice cream lol.
Kenny Rogers was a legend. That Cher impersonator looks more like Fran Drescher.
It's Mo Collins
Yah Thus Show Kicked Ass Really FUNNY..All The Players Were Great Comedians!!!!!
This is why i love america. It is mad and hilarious!
Awesome funny memories of watching Mad TV .
Imagine if the real Kenny Rogers did a duet of "Sugar Walls" with Sheena Easton!
I miss Madtv.
I loved this show!
He called her Anne Murray lol 😂 😭 😆.. Mo Collins is trying soooo hard not to laugh lol 😂 Will Sasso is so amazingly hilarious 😆 😆 😂

Drunk Bjork is a top level Wrestler.
Pop goes the weasel with Marilyn Manson 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was truly comedy gold,will sasso is extremely funny,I’m glad he’s still around.
1:50-2:16 is my favourite part of the skit.
Will Sasso is great, since seeing his Kenny Rogers on madtv I can't take the real Kenny Rogers seriously I would think he would come out with a bottle of jack at concerts.
Fun fact: Kenny Rogers was pissed at these skits which makes them even funnier.
it was funny how they always had him looking like an overweight wherewolf, I just never understood why they made him had that lisp lmaooooo
Lmao sooo stupid and hilarious I remember watching this as a kid 😂😂😂😂😂
The Kenny Rogers jackass skit was epic too
"Overweight werewolf"

I will buy this if I can find it. Thanks Kenny, I think.
R.I.P. Kenny Rogers !
Will Sasso is so underrated
RIP Kenny Rogers 💔
I loved MadTVs Kenny Rogers skits! Thank you for reminding me that they exist.
"i didnt say stop" lol
