I don't find SNL funny. They're too soft on celebrities, a lot of the jokes don't land and the acting is very stagy.
Mad TV, on the other hand, went ham on everyone and they had the best celebrity impersonations. No one did a better Oprah or Whitney Houston than Debra Wilson. The show had Key and Peele before they were famous, Aries Spears, Alex Borstein, Nicole Sullivan...etc.
It should still be airing. I never accepted its cancellation. My god, they would have destroyed Lady Gaga.
