Mad TV is coming back for a one-hour 20th anniversary special

Mad TV, the sketch comedy show known for characters like Stuart, Miss Swan, and the early version of Key & Peele, is making a comeback. The CW will premiere a one-hour 20th anniversary special next month, TVLine reports.

"In the special, the cast reunites to attend a glamorous award ceremony to honor the series, but in classic Mad TV fashion, nothing goes as planned," The CW said in a statement.

A large portion of the original cast, including Ike Barinholtz, Alex Borstein, Mo Collins, Keegan-Michael Key, and Michael McDonald, will return to revive some familiar characters. The rest is anyone’s guess. The episode will air on January 12th at 8PM ET.
