MadTV: Season 2
Mad TV Season 2, which aired on Fox from September 21, 1996, to May 17, 1997, continued the show's bold and irreverent brand of sketch comedy. The season featured 22 episodes and maintained the original format, with a mix of live-action sketches, celebrity impressions, and parodies of pop culture. Notably, this season introduced a weekly guest host, a format that was unique to Seasons 2 and 3. The cast remained largely the same as the first season, with the addition of Tim Conlon and Pablo Francisco, who brought fresh energy and perspectives to the ensemble. However, midway through the season, Artie Lange was dismissed due to erratic behavior reportedly linked to substance abuse issues.
