The tenth season of Mad TV, an American sketch comedy series,
originally aired in the United States on the Fox Network between
September 18, 2004, and May 21, 2005.With MADtv in its tenth year on
FOX, the show continued to change with cast turnover. Mo Collins left
while Josh Meyers was fired. The only new cast members this season
were Crista Flanagan (who was promoted to repertory player in the next
season) and Spencer Kayden (who became one in a long line of
microscopically short-lived MADtv players who joined the cast in the
middle of the season, barely appeared in sketches, and were
immediately fired at its end). Despite the dearth in new cast members,
the show saw an abundance of featured players getting promoted to
repertory status, as seen with the promotions of Daniele Gaither,
Keegan-Michael Key, Nicole Parker, and Jordan Peele, all of whom
became the show's most memorable cast members since the days of the
original 1995-1996 cast.With MADtv in its tenth year on FOX, the show

who had been a cast member since season three, left the show after
eight years, tying Debra Wilson's then-record for longest tenure as a
MADtv cast member, which would later be surpassed by Michael
McDonald's ten years. Ron Pederson and Paul Vogt would also say
goodbye to the show. While Vogt quit so he can work on Broadway,
Pederson was fired due to FOX cutting the show's cast budget.Notable
