MadTV is something we need today; a comedy show that pushes boundaries, and helps us laugh together about things that we think are ridiculous but maybe afraid to say how ludicrous they are in daily life. The slapstick nature of the show for me was a spiritual successors to "In Living Color" in that they pushed the limits and were always on the edge of comedy.

I remember watching the first season of MadTV when I was really young I had to be 4 or 5 years old, and I vividly remember being disturbed by the babewatch skit, the other being the office shooter with Jack the UPS guy (Phil Lamar), also CLOPS with the Pillbury doughboy shooting. MadTV in its first 3 seasons was hardcore af.

I grew up on Mad TV. And for that... I'm so friggin grateful. 🎉

Artie’s still alive and this was light compared to the rest of his stories.

I miss MadTV just like I miss Celebrity Deathmatch. 😢💔

Artie. What a talented comic. If you want to know if someone is funny or not, see how Norm Macdonald feels about them. Norm and Artie were best friends. Also Artie is what made me fall in love with the Howard Stern Show.

The Artie years on Stern were the greatest.

Based off how Debora Spoke about Artie in te passed tense towards the end had me frantically searching the comments thinking he was dead. Thank god hes not, Ive always really liked Artie not just for his comedy but for his raw honesty and can relate to him quite a bit. What you see is what you get with Artie. Always seemed like a genuinely good guy. Hadnt heard of Deborah Wilson before now but se seems like a truly wonderful friend to have in your corner.

Younger me had no idea about global politics or t.v. ratings. Popularity had no influence on what i thought as a kid. I thought SNL was the new show that was for sure going to be canceled because how could it possibly compete with MAD?

I want more of a behind the story of MadTV.

First, Glad Artie finally got cleaned up. Both this and Stern didn't do him any good. Also, I love Debra Wilson, she's blown the doors off the VO scene post-MAD TV.

Arties a wild man, gotta love him,hope hes doin good. Last time i saw him his nose was falling off 😢

I think it's laughable for Orlando to say he didn't like the babewatch skit at the time to seem pious in retrospect, also the whole thing is tone deaf, if you hear Artie tell the babewatch story it's hysterical! They really chose a weird incident to try and articulate the seriousness of his addiction problems.

And in 2005 he graduated to heroin which stole his soul and made him into a stuttering and vacant person. With cocaine, he was still Artie (looked and sounded). Since heroin, Artie has left the building (his physical features changed, his cognitive abilities declined, his voice changed, his personality changed, etc). When he got sober pre-covid, it was like the old Artie (pre-2005) was back, but that didn't last.

Not only are they acting like he passed away, but this is basically what everyone said in the Chris Farley episode

MadTV cast taking exception to being made fun of in skits is comedy gold in and of itself 😂 They were hilarious

I never watched MADtv or saw a magazine in person but the MAD show on cartoon network was fire. I miss spy vs spy.

Growing up in the 2000s Madtv is what got me into comedy and to this day I’m happy it’s still in my life and get to see how far a knock knock joke has gone

I am very glad I found MAD magazine as a pre-teen. Anyway, this is some of the dark side of the entertainment industry.

Just reminding me of Chris Farley absolutely sad the demons people battle behind closed doors and are afraid to open up

He was the MadTV Chris Farley.

MadTV changed the game for sketch comedy shows. This felt like In Living Color but with more brass balls than any we have ever seen before...and NBC knew it after season 3 i believe. They knew Lorne had to step his game up with the writers room before MADtv would dominate primetime television. Alas, both shows gained middle ground where both networks garnered favorable ratings regardless.

MadTV was awesome! So funny and they knew when to end a skit before it spiraled into stupidity. SNL has yet to master that skill.

Please bring it back

Is this the entire MAD TV episode? Vice had the opportunity to tell behind the scenes stories, and they chose the one story Artie has told so many times it needs to be retired permanently. This story, going to court as an infant, and the ladder his dad fell off of being stolen is the Holy Trinity of Artie's go-to stories.

I thought this was about Madtv in general, not just Artie Lange. He wasn't the best cast member, just the most drug addicted. Will Sasso is way more memorable and funny from Madtv, do a piece on him next for me

Massive Classic

7:05, Debra cared about Artie no matter what mistakes he had.
