Bobby Lee to Play McCain on MADtv

Posted by keith

Comic Bobby Lee will play McCain in a segment on the season premiere of “MADtv” this Saturday night.  The segment, “So You Think You Can Dance: President’s Edition,” features Bobby and Arden Myrin as Cindy McCain and Keegan-Michael Key and Erica Ash as Barack and Michelle Obama.

I’m going to TiVo this. But even before I watch it, I’m sure that MADtv’s choice to have Bobby Lee play McCain in a comedy sketch is a wiser one than the Real McCain’s decision to pick Sarah “I Don’t Know What the Bush Doctrine Is” Palin as a running mate.

    I hope Bobby Lee can do McCain’s Gollum-like toothless grin too, preferably in front of a green screen.

    I am guessing Bobby knows how to use e-mail and a computer, unlike McCain!

    I love Bobby Lee but after watching him play McCain, I had a mixed feeling.
    Yeah, he moves oddly and can not type, but that’s mainly from his wound from being POW in Vietnam. He is old and seems outdated but is it only me to feel strange about Bobby making such fun of his condition? Politics aside, he fought for this country….?!

    ” Politics aside, he fought for this country….?! ”

    Yeah, so did Timothy McVeigh.

    I’m just sayin’.

    [...] I really don’t know what to make of this. It’s crazy… but I like it! In a weird twist of racial casting, comedian Bobby Lee will play Senator John McCain on the season premiere of MADtv this Saturday night: Bobby Lee to Play McCain on MADtv. [...]

    Made my summer.
    Bobby - I am fifty nine and this is one of the (deliberately) funniest things I’ve ever seen on TV.
    You deserve an Oscar.
