In a lively discussion with Vlad, comedian Aries Spears weighed in on the ultimate sketch comedy showdown. When asked to compare iconic shows like *Key & Peele*, *Chappelle’s Show*, *In Living Color*, *Saturday Night Live* (SNL), and *MADtv*, Spears gave a nod to *Chappelle’s Show* for its impact despite its relatively short two-season run. However, when it came to legacy and longevity, Spears crowned *SNL* as the undisputed king, highlighting its rich history and stellar eras featuring legends like Eddie Murphy, Gilda Radner, and Chevy Chase.
Spears acknowledged *In Living Color*’s groundbreaking status but noted it started to lose momentum around season four or five. Regarding *MADtv*, he admitted it couldn’t quite compete with *SNL*’s longstanding influence. Ultimately, Spears emphasized the importance of era and cultural impact in the “sketch show battle,” celebrating the unique strengths of each but respecting *SNL*’s enduring reign.
