Mad TV 300th Episode!

Last night Tim and I braved the freeways to attend a taping of Mad TV at the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood. It was so fun!! We arrived around 7:30 and got in line (a line that was much less entertaining than at Disneyland), and then they finally started letting people in around 8:45. The theater was really cool-looking, and there was a DJ blasting music while we waited for the taping to start. We also had an emcee of sorts, Blas, who pretty much just got us energized and kept us excited between tapings by throwing candy, asking questions, and telling jokes.

Little did we know, the Mad TV episode that we attended was the 300th episode, so a couple former cast members (Mo Collins, aka Stewart's mom, and Debra Wilson, aka Whitney Houston) were back. Hooray!! The cast members interacted with the audience a little bit (Bobby Lee especially, and he's hilarious), but mostly we were just there to provide applause during their live sketches (which they performed on stage) and also their recorded sketches (which we watched on a big screen and laughed at). There was also a stand-up comic who performed (a friend of Bobby Lee's), and he was pretty funny too. All in all, it was a great time, and it was especially awesome to see the whole cast at the end. The only downside was that we were sitting in front of this guy who was apparently starving, and would reach over our heads and run out into the aisle again and again in order to catch the candy that Blas was throwing. Dude, calm down, they're just Starbursts. Oh, and Tim's my hero, because he caught a Starburst at one point and gave it to me. I'm in love... :-)

The 300th episode airs this Saturday at 11:00 PM! Yay!!
