MadTV was one of my favorite sketch comedy shows. . Bob was also one of my favorite comedians, his Button Down Mind albums are classic.
Yup, he's still alive at 94, , which, I guess is what happens when you get really, really old.
I'm surprised they haven't brought mad TV back. It was a career killer for many, but the good ones rebounded. Growing up in the 90s with it, while SNL slowly went down hill was great
I was there for the original SNL Not Ready for Primetime Players, Chevy, Jane, Gilda, Belushi, et.al., after them is when I think it went downhill.
The 90's did have some good stuff, In Living Color was another one.
Celebrity jeopardy and president satire was the only thing keeping it afloat.
