I believe it.

The majority of them were very good at impressions and comedic timing, yet none of them hit it big except Keegan and Peele.

They only popped when doing their own thing together for a few years at that.
I forgot Mo Collins existed until this thread but Molly Shannon had multiple films playing the lead character

Hollywood tried to make Chris Kattan a thing but Will Sasso couldn't get an Eastbound and Down type show, he would have killed that.

That last minute was some of the realest shyt, and she's 1000% right.

Sometimes as men we believe that the material can fix the internal, emotional and psychological.

And I'm not talking about being broke vs. being rich or some surface shyt, I'm talking about the concept that we have the reach a certain goal in life that we set ourselves in order to be the person we want to be or should be.

But you can and should strive to be those things first, and even if the material doesn't come, you've at least attained or achieved something in yourself and in your life with the people around you.

Being like Aries, you won't achieve either and you'll suffer for it.

Molly Shannon was SNL, not MadTV.

Chris Kattan was also never on MadTV. He is also SNL.

Unless your saying it doesn't matter, ain't no one popping like that.

Mo Collins now voices a Simpsons Character so I would assume she doing alright :whew:

I feel like he's been trying to be the replacement for Patrice in the "underappreciated comic's comic" for a few years now but it's not working.
He's not at that level. Patrice was once in a lifetime talent. Thats why he got away with being too good for Hollywood shyt.

I could see that.

I also heard the executives at MadTV played dirty too.

Jordan Peele was supposed to be on SNL for his Obama impersonation but his MadTV contract wouldn't allow it.

Peele is supposedly still mad to this day at them about that.
I could see being mad about it, but it worked out in the end for him. Kind of off topic, but I got a theory that Lorne Michael's is making it so nobody blows up from SNL and moves on like Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Michael Myers, Chris Farley(RIP), Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, etc. How many SNL cast members from the last 10-15 years have REALLY BLOWN UP? I really can't think of anyone. MAYBE Leslie Jones?

I would make the argument that "comedic movie stars" haven't meant what they did over the last 15 years.

Outside of Kevin Hart, who has that been whether they be on SNL or not?

I believe the rumors Lorne Michaels had MadTV actors blackballed. They ate off voice acting but when it comes to live action tv shows and movies none of them actors popped as much as they should have.
will sasso has been eating since mad tv ended, same with phil lamarr and alex borstein. and thats not even counting key and peele but if true i could understand. in living color did major damage to snl. mad tv came up and piled onto what they did. id be bitter as hell myself, as well as look at any other sketch show funny
Not really, the main difference is Corey didnt play the game, knows he didn't play the ame and accepts his fate. Aries plaayed the game, thought he was going to make it and didn't.

he tried to. he was a voice actor on the cleveland show. maybe he took the patrice/trevor moore route and realized he didnt care for the crossover and wanted back

Her and Michael McDonald were two people who I'm surprised never went on to do bigger things after MadTV. McDonald was by far the funniest person on that show.
It's weird that most of them didn't get much, though they live pretty well. Wilson is the go-to for a lot of video game motion capture, she's frequently seen in a lot of shyt. But of all of them, Sasso not having a bigger career is crazy.
