PART 2 Mad Rewind: The Badass Women of MAD TV (with Mo Collins, Stephnie Weir, and Debra Wilson)

Welcome back to Part 2 of our hilarious interview with the incredibly talented, funny, and badass women of MADtv: Mo Collins, Stephnie Weir, and Debra Wilson! We had so much to say that we had to keep the cameras rolling. In this episode, we dive deep into the creation of iconic characters like Dot, Mrs. Campbell, Doreen Larkin, and Lorraine. The ladies share their favorite impressions, hilarious behind-the-scenes wardrobe malfunctions, and the legendary sketches that actually ended up getting cut (including a tragically on-the-nose conjoined twins bit!). Plus, Debra tells an unforgettable story about using "The Force" to get Mark Hamill on the show, and the group gets real about navigating the comedy industry, handling rejection, and why MADtv is officially staying in the vault. A special thank you to our sponsor, The Crow Comedy Club in Santa Monica!
