* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] and [[Retroactive Recognition]] - Alex Borstein (the voice of Lois Griffin on ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'') was a ''[[Mad TV]]'' cast member. In fact, she had a news reporter character on ''MADtv'' who sounded like Tricia Takanawa and always addressed Diane ([[Nicole Sullivan (Creator)|Lawyer-Trabajo]], not Simmons) in her reports, even asking where Diane was in a news sketch after [[Nicole Sullivan (Creator)|Nicole Sullivan]] had left.
** [[Phil La Marr]] also falls under this. Before he did voice acting in shows like ''[[Samurai Jack (Animation)|Samurai Jack]]'' (as the title character) and ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' (as Jamaican accountant Hermes Conrad), he was a cast member on ''MADtv'' (though before ''MADtv'', he had a small, but memorable role in ''[[Pulp Fiction (Film)|Pulp Fiction]]'' [which explains why in the show's parody called "Gump Fiction," [[Actor Allusion|LaMarr screamed]], [[I Just Shot Marvin in The Face|"Not again!"]])
** Indeed, several of ''MADtv'''s actors have found successful careers in voice acting (with the possible exception of Taran Killam [''[[Mad TV]]'s'' youngest cast member at age 19], who, after a year on ''MADtv'' and eight years of bit roles and underground comedy, joined the cast of [[Saturday Night Live|another late-night, long-running sketch comedy show]]). Unfortunately, many of the later performers (like Crista Flanagan and Nicole Parker) have found themselves stuck in the [[Seltzer and Friedberg]] movies.
