[MADtv] Lisa Donovan

[Dartanian]

"Her success on the Internet lead to some guest spots on the hit comedy sketch show MADTV. However, it has been speculated that she was let go from the show after that regular cast members protested that Donovan didn’t have formal training. "

Based on some of the things I've heard, I could see that being the case. That would certainly explain why she absolutely refuses to respond to any of our inquiries.

Whaaat!? A website that doesn't steal our content!? This is unheard of!

But I would agree, Lisa wasn't that good.

Yeah, she didn't really live up to the hype, at all.

I thought she was great......I loved her in the sketch w/ Bobby, Ike, and Jordan. I think it was Bobby + Ike's home movie. She did a funny impression of Saylma Hyak (sp?), and I thought the Feb. sweeps thing her and Crista did was funny/hott too!

I think if they would of given her a better chance, she could of went far...I miss her

[elscorcho]

Really?? I thought her impression of Salma Hayek was absolutely awful

[potroastpig]

I guess it's a matter of opinion.....I thought it was funny, I thought her, Crista, and Nicole all did a great job on that sketch.

I agree with this times a million gajillion.

[Dartanian]

I thought everything Lisa did was awful. And I hate her youtube crap! ARGGGHHH get some acting lessons, stat!

[Rurry]

She wasn't awful, but she did nothing on the show above average (most of it being sub-par), and didn't live up to the massive amount of hype she got.

Lisa has a very cute quality about her

And she is talented too

But who really cares about her

She seems to be old news

[potroastpig]

i care........

Lisa has done a follow up sketch on youtube to the Hillary vs Obama sketch that was on MADtv, this one also has Jordan in it. Worth a look!

Hillary vs. Obama II

[potroastpig]

thanks for posting that!

She would of been a great addition to season 13

[potroastpig]

If I'm not right then say it, but after looking back at season 13, and looking at things that Lisa does on Youtube wouldn't you think season 13 would of been a perfect season to keep her around? She does remote stuff all the time, is good at it.....I dunno...I was just re-reading old articles and got angry again, I think with how season 13 was set up, it would of played to her advantage, and to Mad TV's advantage.

Still tooting Lisa's horn -- priceless! Though others may disagree, you won't get any argument out of me. Lisa would have fit into S13 like Tommy Lee's wang inside a groupie. Pity.

[potroastpig]

wow someone that agrees........when I got my e-mail alert that someone responded I thought I would of had to argue again...lol.

I gotta say, if I had the training that the MADtv stars had, I would have been pissed that this girl who simply goes in front of a camera, films something, and upload it to a website gets a shot when I had to work for years to get to that point. I also do believe that she is not that great at acting, and that she probably just makes these video's for fun. When she did the thing on Bobby's 30th birthday, I thought she was an extra or something. I truly think the only reason she was brought in was because they couldn't find anyone better in the new castmembers testing, and figured that they had to bring somebody in to make the audience feel that the show was going somewhere. Not bringing her back was a good decision by the Fox executives (one of the few good decisions they have made in the past little while).

[potroastpig]

I disagree, I think that she is trying just as hard with her youtube stuff, yeah she didn't get any formal training, but why couldn't this be when she wasn't bad, people wont get experience when they aren't given the chance due to "lack of experience". I understand that they might be mad, but it wasn't like any of them were losing their job over it.

[Rurry]

Does Lisa still do those YouTube videos?
