MADtv is in love with Jeff Probst. He's been on the show, what, 3-4 times at the least? He was on in the early seasons 1 or 2 times i think and I know he guested in Season 10 for the Lost parody. Im probably even missing stuff.

Anyway, the Maury/Connie thing didn't look too funny from the blooper outtake (besides the outtake itself) but eh, it was only about 1 minute, and it looked like it might have been from a dress rehersal or something. The Songs from Survivor thing...well, it's too early to tell for that. The Frosty thing sounds funny, although it IS animation, so who knows...

Also, according to the previews, there's some kind of Freddy Kruger Christmas thing or something, also.

Darn, pretty much the same info that was revealed several days ago.

This episode sounds like it's going to be good. Can't wait for the Saw parody.

Man, this thread needs a jump start ...

It looks like there will be a fake musical performance for this episode. This time, it's Nicole Parker as Tori McLachlan (cross between Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan).

Nicole is great at pretty much anything she does. That was awesome.

Sweet, I'm really looking forward to the fake musical performance and the Frosty the Snowman skit.

Was Nicole playing the piano in that sketch? She is very talented and has a great voice. I wonder what her flaws are.

She doesn't have a recurring character.

Disney Girl.

Technically, that's true, but I mean a 'signature' recurring character; Mo had Lorraine, Stephnie had Dot, Michael (still) has Stuart, and so on. Or they could just recur Disney Girl more often...then maybe I wouldn't bitch so much.

God only made one of her.

Disney Girl has the potential to become a recurring character...I hope she does. Nicole really does have what it takes to make an awesome recurring character, but the producers don't see that I guess. We should write to them

I kinda think Disney Girl will be recurred again, Celebrity Obsessed aired around the same time Disney Girl did last season and they recurred CO this year...not to mention her first appearence was in Season 9 and her 2nd in Season 11.

A recurring character is not necessarily a good thing. It does not take long before they get old. Eventually they will become tedious and predictable, or worse, there will be a really crappy movies based on the characters that should have been made for television but due to the power of the producer gets released in theaters in hopes of becoming a launching platform for its stars’ movie careers as they bid their final farewell to the show, only to end up ruining the actors’ entire careers causing them to spiral hopelessly out of control on drug and alcohol binges until they are doing guest spots on Hollywood Squares, Pyramid, Disco Dance Party, Lick the Stick, and various other crappy syndicated daytime game shows created by the government to cheer up severely depressed people.

That's it. There isn't just one of her. For every talent there must be a deficit. For example, I can type 88 words per minute but I am illiterate. It is the way the universe works, balance in all things. There has to be two sides to every coin, four wheels on every car, eight corners on every stop sign, ten kilos of cocaine in my digestive tracts when I sneak across the Canadian border, thirteen orifices in every human body, and 23. By that flawless line of logic, I can only conclude that there must be an opposite version of Nicole out there, somewhere, beyond the veil.

Morgie, I'M GONNA GET YOU A TICKLE ME EMO DOLL FOR CHRISTMAS. Because I know you relate to that stuff.

This is shaping up to be a killer episode...
