Source – Lost Tape (2018) with an Unknown source (Pre-2007) Tape Patch
An episode first recovered over a decade ago, Dicky Barrett of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones returns to the show for his 4th known appearance of the Adam era. Now 100% complete with a huge audio upgrade. Freshly transferred this afternoon, as hot of the presses as these episodes come. Two very solid calls in this episode!

An episode first recovered over a decade ago, featuring one of the rare “live in studio” musical performance on CLL, now with a huge audio upgrade and 100% complete. This is the first of two appearances by the band, they return to the show in November of 2000 for CLL #1338.
An episode first recovered almost a decade ago, 99.9% complete, just missing a few seconds of discussion about ‘Nutty Professor II: The Klumps’ now with a slight audio upgrade. Barry is making his only appearance on CLL, promoting ‘Beyond the Mat’ Enjoy!
An episode first recovered over 15 years ago, the only known source and roughly 70% complete. Debra and Mo are making their first known appearances on the radio show, though it’s possible Debra has been on prior, at least on the MTV show. Drew is broadcasting remotely which leads to an “incident” the audio has been repaired and reprocessed. Sadly the best we’re probably ever going to get.
From Wiki: Mad TV (stylized as MADtv) is an Americancomedysketch television series originally inspired by Mad magazine. The show featured animated Spy vs. Spy and Don Martin cartoon shorts as well as images of Alfred E. Neuman in earlier seasons, although the sketch comedy rarely if ever had any relation to the magazine’s content. Its first TV broadcast was on October 14, 1995. The one-hour show first-ran on Saturday nights on Fox and was in syndication on Comedy Central. In Australia, the show screens on satellite and cable TV channel The Comedy Channel and in late-night timeslots on free-to-air broadcaster the Nine Network and its affiliates.
Mad TV was created by Fax Bahr and Adam Small. The series was originally produced by Bahr/Small Productions and Quincy Jones/David Salzman Entertainment (QDE). After Bahr and Small left the series at the end of the third season (they were later credited as “executive consultants“), the series was handled by QDE and distributed by WB Television Distribution (its parent company Time Warner Entertainment owns Mad magazine through its DC Comics subsidiary). The series was directed by Bruce Leddy (196 episodes),[1] as well as David Grossman, and Amanda Bearse.
On November 12, 2008, Fox announced that Mad TV’s 14th season would be its last. David Salzman said that he would be exploring the continuation of the show on another channel; possibly cable.[2] In early 2009, the show was moved to air after Talkshow with Spike Feresten, the show that normally followed Mad TV, as a test, before being moved back. The series finale aired on May 16, 2009.[3] The show was nominated for 35 Emmy awards, winning five, and was succeeded by an unrelated animated sketch comedy series (intended for a children/preteen audience), Mad, that aired on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2013.
On December 11, 2015, it was reported that the series would be returning for a one-hour special on The CW to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary; the special aired on January 12, 2016. A large portion of the original cast returned.[4]
On April 11, 2016, The CW announced that it was reviving the show for an 8-episode season to air in primetime. The season premiered on July 26, 2016 and concluded on September 27, 2016. The CW has cancelled the series.
An episode first shared over 15 years ago, sadly only a partial recording featuring roughly the last 30% of the episode. Too bad we don’t have the full recording as still-single Adam is swooning and in rare form, bizarre callers. I wish we had more, now remastered with a break bumper added back in.
