I loved MadTV more than SNL but idk why so many MadTV commenters are so confrontational with SNL considering they are he same category. Maybe because it's been such a long time I think people also forget that SNL did have skits way back then on the same topics. SNL did do skits at the time that made fun of racial stereotypes and race related events in the media.

SNL would NEVER do something like this even though they're guilty of it since every black woman who's ever been on that show was chosen for diversity and not because they have the talent that the black ladies on MADTV have.

I went on an interview yesterday and they asked me what my husband did for a living and if I had children. Is this because I am black? I don't know. We had completed a phone interview before the in-person meeting, but they're eagerness to hire me seemed to change after we met. Maybe my husband's profession was too lucrative or they were afraid I would have kids on their dime because, although very impressed with me [they said], I wasn't hired.
