MADtv
MADtv is a comedy television series in the United States. First broadcast on October 14, 1995, the successful show is Fox Network's only late night program. The one-hour show airs Saturdays at 11:30 PM EST. It is a spin-off from MAD magazine.The format of MADtv is simple sketch comedy and humor. Skits and sketches are performed in a manner similar to other variety shows. Recurring characters include The Vancome Lady, Stan the Coffee Man, and Miss Swan (who describes any person as looking like a man).
Comparisons with NBC's Saturday Night Live are inevitable with both shows airing at the same time. Many believe that MADtv's humor is edgier than that of its long-running competitor.
