- October 2, 2005
MadTV was a sketch comedy show that aired on FOX from 1995 to 2009, featuring a lively cast of comedians tackling everything from pop culture references to political satire. MadTV season 11 episode 3, titled "Episode #1103," aired on October 15, 2005, and featured a variety of skits and segments designed to make audiences laugh.
The episode opened with a sketch titled "House Hunters," a parody of the popular HGTV show. In this version, however, the house hunters are looking at a run-down and dilapidated home that they can't stop gushing over. As they tour the property, their enthusiasm only grows, even as they encounter some truly grotesque features, like a toilet that's been inexplicably placed in the shower.
The next segment featured returning character Stuart, a precocious little boy who always seems to be getting into trouble. This time around, Stuart wants to be a contestant on "American Idol," but he's having trouble with his song choice. After belting out several inappropriate and outrageous lyrics, Stuart finally settles on a syrupy ballad that he sings with a surprising sweetness.
Other skits in the episode included a parody of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," in which the team of designers shows up to a family's house and proceeds to cause all sorts of damage and chaos, as well as a sketch about a children's TV show called "Mr. Bunkers," in which the titular character teaches kids about important life lessons like sharing and self-esteem.
One of the most memorable segments from the episode, however, was a pop culture parody that took on the hit reality show "The Apprentice." In this version, Donald Trump was played by comedian Frank Caliendo, who captured Trump's distinct voice and mannerisms with impressively accuracy. The skit featured a group of hapless contestants vying for Trump's approval, including one who thinks he can win by repeatedly shouting "You're fired!" at his fellow competitors.
Overall, MadTV season 11 episode 3 was a fun and entertaining installment in the series, with plenty of laughs for fans of irreverent comedy. From clever parodies of popular shows to silly sketches featuring outlandish characters, the episode showcased the range and talent of the show's cast and writers.
