Yeah, I think they said the webcasts would be a regular thing last year too.

Also new this season is a feature in the Informer called "MADtv Exclusive
Access" with short, guerilla style behind the scenes interviews with
actors, writers, directors, etc. This week's MADtv Exclusive Access
features an interview with Jordan Peele.

Well, there are literally only 2 madtv exclusives out there. This one and the Bobby Lee webcast from last year. So there really isn't a need for one. This must be an annual thing, which sucks because these are awesome.

Unaired Sketch (DVD) Transcripts

... there's only 3 of those transcripts and this is a special category just like that one and it will be a regular thing too.

I just watched this. I liked the part with Jordan discussing new characters and more impressions because i dont think hes really had alot of good solid appearances on the show, even in season 10 i dont think we really saw quite enough of him when we saw a bit too much of other castmembers. Now with Aries gone it looks like he can break that mould...

There's a new one in the Informer with Keegan, just a heads up.

According to IMDb, Jordan's birthday is 21st February, 1979, which makes him exactly one year younger than Nicole Parker. WEIRDNESS.

Jordan and Ike are in a new movie: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0816685/

Jordan and Keegan open up the new Weird Al music video, "White and Nerdy." I only know this because a friend sent it to me on MySpace, honest.

Find it here at YouTube.

All right, Jordan's bio's done. Moving on (quickly) to Nikki P. and Arden. Whew!

[mizzimad]

I edited Jordan's recurring character info to include Noodles (Hype Jingleberries) and a link to the "Astroman & Killbrain" thread since one didn't previously exist. There are those who would say, "Hey, mizz, I was under the impression that you don't like the Hype Jingleberries," to whom I would note that I'm simply doing my job.

That's The Krump, Bitch! Welcome To Life!

Jordan was on tonight's episode of Chocolate News, which is Comedy Central's new Chappelle's Show mixed with a little of The Daily Show. He was in a sketch about steroids as reporter Kelvin Melvin.

Oh, goody!

According to these articles, it looks like Jordan is a contender to play Obama on SNL, along with three other guys:

If he does make it on SNL that would be weird, a MADtv cast member turns SNL cast member.

[Planned Disaster]

Wow, that's weird. But he wouldn't be the first MAD alumnus to join SNL *cough* Jeff Richards *cough* *cough*

I find it interesting that SNL is doing away with Fred's impression, is this a sign of Fred Armisen leaving the show altogether I wonder (or is that just wishful thinking on my part)

[cartman2002]

I though Keegan Michael Key will be the MADtv castmember to audition for the Obama role on SNL

[tvmanismadformad]

This is an outrage! Just kidding, but seriously, this is going to be wierd if he gets it. If he did I wonder if they would make a MADtv reference in his first episode somewhere?

A lot of ppl don't seem to like Armisen's Obama much and SNL's been critized in a lot of articles for having a white guy play Obama, but they don't really have a choice since their only black guy (Kenan Thompson) is too fat to look anything like Obama. Lately there's been word that SNL's been looking into hiring a new black comedian to play Obama and Jordan is one of the auditoning comics that SNL has liked so far.

Heres his Obama:

Not bad, about on par with Keegan's.

[edkedkedk]

Well, to each his own. If he wants to work on SNL and SNL wants to hire him, it'll be great, 'cause after all, SNL has larger recognition. His work on SNL will surely get him noticed.

[CristaFan]

It would give me a reason to actually watch SNL next year! Now they just need to hire Crista too

A new Jordan Barack video where he reads an outgoing note from George Bush.
