MADtv cast members you think would’ve do good on SNL(or other way around)?

Excluding Jeff Richards and Taran Killam of course

Honestly short lived cast members Kathryn Fiore and Christian Duguay I think could have been awesome!

My idea for a sketch for the show.

The "Two-For-One Hot Dogs" Sketch

​The Setup:

The camera pans over a sun-drenched, slightly depressing community pool or a local carnival. We see a rickety hot dog stand with a neon sign that flickers: "2-FOR-1 HOT DOGS."

​The Cast:

​Bobby Lee as the frantic, high-pitched owner of the stand who is clearly hiding a dark secret about where the meat comes from.

​Nicole Sullivan as a "Karen" archetype customer who is oscillating between being disgusted by the hygiene and thrilled by the bargain.

​Michael McDonald as a creepy bystander who just keeps saying "That’s a lot of dog" in his signature Stuart voice.

​The "Turn":

The sketch starts normally, but every time Bobby Lee hands over a "Two-for-One" deal, the hot dogs are actually fused together like Siamese twins in one giant bun. When the customer complains, he starts pulling increasingly weirder "Two-for-One" items out from under the counter—like a two-headed pigeon or a pair of used socks stapled together.

​Why it fits the Mad TV Brand:

​The Repetitive Catchphrase: Someone would definitely scream "TWO-FOR-ONE!" at least 15 times until it stops being funny, and then keep saying it until it becomes funny again.

​The Physical Comedy: It would inevitably end with someone being pelted with lukewarm hot dogs or falling into a vat of neon-yellow mustard.

​The Gritty Aesthetic: Unlike SNL, which feels "produced," this has that "filmed in a parking lot in Van Nuys" vibe that Mad TV mastered.
