Thanks madtvdork808, for providing the link

Reminder: Skits done in one live taping are shown in different episodes.

Live Taping (Note: The skits are done 2 times. The second take is little different. Both takes are edited together later to produce the final product.

Live skits performed

Show Open: Mad TV Oscar Special (Keegan- Himself, Arden- Herself)

• Keegan and Arden come out nicely dressed and show off their oscar fashion and explain their very own Mad TV Oscar Special Episode. 4/5
• If you are an Arden fan, this is a must watch. Her gown completely comes off, and you can see her pink lingerie. When the skit is closing, she shakes her booty to the camera

Superstitious Knights: Bears vs Colts Game (Keegan- Carl Hall, Jordan- Ty Gray, Frank Caeti)

• Carl Hall and Ty Gray are Bear fans, watching the game at their own apartment. Frank Caeti tells them that the Bears are going to win anyways (27-3) and that their superstitious dances won't do any good. 3/5

The Ellen DeGeneres Show: Ugly Betty (Nicole P- Ellen DeGeneres, Crista- Ugly Betty, Lisa Donovan- Salma Hayek)

• Producer Salma Hayek comes to the show and explains that person playing Ugly Betty is actually very very very ugly. 4/5
• From what I'm hearing, Lisa Donovan is the new castmember. She is absolutely gorgeous! I think she has potential of being very funny rather than being eye candy.

• The American Idol judges critique on Bobby's show opening. 3/5

3/5
Show Open: Wing Lady (Bobby- Himself, Arden- Herself)

Attitudes and Feelings, Both Desirable and Sometimes Secretive Pt. III (Bobby- Himself: Dr. Poon Ji-Sum, Cathy Shim- Ms. Long Bong, ?- Mother, ?- Father, The guy who played Pongo- Assassin)

• Bobby and Ms. Long Bong are bathing each other as siblings, but are still in love. Mother tells them "You are brother and sister, but at the same time you are not" "HUHHHHH???". 3/5

This lucky SOB did it again! He also got his Epic Movie ticket stub signed by her.

How is Nicole RJ's Oprah impression? I knew they'd get her to do it sometime or another.

As for those sketches, very excited for Ellen, American Idol open, and interested about Oprah's Oscar Picks. I'm guessing those are for 1212 since Oscars are right around the corner. Freedom Writers should be good, too.

I'm interested to see Lisa! I'm glad they're adding someone new. Do you know when her first episode is gonna be..?

[potroastpig]

someone new...that's cool

Nicole Parker is only in 2 sketches... I hope they aren't fading her out...cause she's the best one on the cast right now.

I don't know how I feel about Nicole RJ playing Opera.....Danielle tried it....but I feel like Debra will always be the best.

Actually...she was in 4 sketches. Which is about average, I would say.

Yeah Nicole RJ impression of Oprah is pretty good, but not as good as Debra. I heard Lisa's skit is probably airing 3 weeks from now.

So 1214. Interesting I'm looking foward to seeing her. Do you know when any of the other sketches are airing?

[HELLRaZerXTC]

well the thing is, the audience coordinator said that the live taping skits is 3 weeks ahead of the episodes airing now. The pre-released videos can air anytime soon.

You can also see that a lot of show opening skits were done on this taping. I bet the show opening with Keegan and Arden for the Oscar Special woulld air on Feb 25th because the real Oscar is airing on February 26th

So yeah..i don't really trust the audience coordinator. He didnt want to make it complicated for the audience when they ask when are the skits airing.

So all of these sketches are for 1214 then I would assume? So I guess (most of) Jan. 12th's tapings were for 1213? Ooh...wonder what will be happening next Saturday.

Is this new girl a full time cast member?

I doubt it - she's most likely featured.

[Rurry]

...Make that 5 sketches Nicole Parker is in. See, there's nothing to worry about.

[HELLRaZerXTC]

EDIT: I forgot to add

Grey's Anatomy Vs. House Vs. ER (Nicole RJ- Miranda, Crista- Meredith, Bobby- Cristina, Keegan- Preston, Arden- Izzie, Nicole P- Addison, Michael- Dr. House)

• The Grey's Anatomy characters are unable to cure a pregnant woman, so they call Dr. House for help. 5/5

Hypn0d1scf4n, thanks for the corrections

Maybe it's Elisa Donovan?

[Hypn0]

FOX's preview for #1212 this past Saturday (1/27/07) seems to be football-themed. Of course, that would make sense because the Super Bowl is next Sunday. Therefore, I'm willing to assume that the Superstitious Knights sketch will be aired during that episode.

Heh, that sounds hilarious. Can't wait.

The Other Less Likely Results:

http://www.lisadonovan.com/. I'm guessing this isn't the lady, because from the impression I'm getting, the new Lisa is younger and "absolutely gorgeous" as apposed to her.

Also found two Lisa Donovans on IMDB, none of which may be her. Lisa 1 and Lisa 2.

I think Elisa Donovan would be the best bet. But it seems she's already pretty famous, so MAD wouldn't be getting someone exactly fresh...then again, it seems like most of her roles were guest stars.

[ZoogzRift]

I'm pretty sure that Lisa Donovan is the same girl who YouTube addicts such as myself currently know as LisaNova:

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=LisaNova

I'd heard rumors that she was joining the cast of MadTV. HELLRaZerXTC, can you confirm this?

[Rurry]

I'm betting that's her. She's young and hot, and isn't too famous, so she seems like someone MadTV would hire.

I'm really hoping this girl isn't a replacement for anyone - because if she was, it'd be Nicole Parker. I don 't think she's leaving, but this got me thinking last night. Then again, since she has so many YouTube videos, she'll probably be a character person - so maybe she's a Michael McDonald replacement? Or maybe since they want more characters, that's why they hired her? Or maybe they just want to keep the cast fresh? Who knows. But I'm hoping it's not the first reason.

Maybe Frank can come on and confirm anything?

[Rurry]

Here's Lisa's myspace, btw, if anyone is interested. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=83306918

She lives in LA, too...I think we can pretty much confirm this is Lisa Donavon. Same name, fits the description, lives in LA, plus there's been rumors for a while....

I think her YouTube videos are pretty funny and she could be a good cast member. I think she should write her own sketches, assuming she wrote all of those YouTube videos.

YES! I'm so happy they're doing another sketch with House in it.
