of course they wouldn't....MAD is a rival to SNL which is on NBC. Its just naturally a given.

I was making that quote based on the show's late night humour Scorp. But that was probaly another good reason.

his laugh on the desperate housewives parody was so funny

[Debrafan]

I can't believe he played Eva Longoria in that sketch! That's too weird!

Yes, but it's actually called The Planet's Funniest Animals

[Debrafan]

I saw him on "Planet's Funniest Animals"! How could he take the stuff that he is supposed to say seriously. He acts like hes really excited about it. Now thats a good actor!

[mizzimad]

Stick a fork in Keegan's bio, and serve it up with all the trimmings. (Or so I hope.)

[blackwind]

From what I can see, there are only two problems: "As of September 2007" is missing, and you didn't credit yourself, you glory... non-hog.

[mizzimad]

Oh, okay, well, I can change the "WATN?" to read thusly. And yeah, I just thought about the fact that I didn't credit myself; I was going to try to catch that before you did...lol. Yeah, self-congrats don't come naturally to me, but the glory non-hog will get the hang of it.

'MADtv' to 'SNL': We've Got Your Obama Beat!

Don’t tell MADtv’s Keegan-Michael Key he isn’t black enough to play presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

“I’m just like Obama,” the actor proclaims to PageSix.com when asked how he thinks his impersonation of the Illinois senator stacks up against Fred Armisen's Saturday Night Live incarnation.

“My father was African-American, my mother is white. I’m the real Fauxbama!”

And to prove it, Keegan will be debuting a spanking new Barack (above) on March 29, when MADtv returns for its first fresh post-writers' strike show.

The yet-to-be shot sketch finds Barack bumping and grinding with No. 1 endorser Oprah (played by newbie cast member Daheli Hall). The mutually enamored pair appear in a parody of Flo Rida’s hit video "Low," while Barack and crew belt out some hilarious lyrics — which you can check out, after the jump!

I was a big-eared senator
Without a chance in hell.
(Then the Queen of the world
Put you under her spell.)
She took control,
I think you know,
Talkin’ ‘bout Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh O-prah.

Though Keegan, 37, played Barack last season, he says he has been reevaluating the character now that the Democratic presidential candidate has broken out of the pack — and stands a good chance of winning the White House: "Last year I played him like the coolest dude in the room. Since then, he’s become a rock star, so you’ll see more attitude.”

And how did Keegan fashion his new, improved Barack? "Here’s my secret recipe: The syntax of Montel Williams, the timbre of Bill Clinton and the lyricism of Martin Luther King.”

In the wake of Fred’s portrayal of Barack last month, SNL was blasted by critics for casting a non-African-American (Fred is of Asian and white heritage) in the role.

“I find SNL's choice inexplicable,” griped the Chicago Tribune’s Maureen Ryan. “Obama's candidacy gives us solid proof of the progress that African-Americans have made in this country. I guess SNL still has further to go on that front.”

Still, Keegan declines to pass judgment on Fred just yet: “SNL hasn’t given him enough to do. When they write a scene where it’s all about Obama — and Fred can really flex his acting chops — then we can talk comparisons!”

Meanwhile, he thinks a President Obama would do wonders for equality.

“It’s going to be so refreshing that black people will be scrutinized in the same way rich white people have been for years,” says Keegan. “We’ll finally be made fun of on the same level.”

Interesting article. Can't wait for the Obama/Oprah lovefest to begin!

Thanks Nick.

This should be really interesting. Obama and Oprah; that's like every kid's fantasy =D
