MADtv (2005-2010)
Overview
As MADtv entered its second decade, stars from previous seasons, like Ron Pederson, Paul Vogt, and Spencer Kayden, were released from the show at the start of season eleven. Longtime cast members Stephnie Weir and Aries Spears announced in The Spring of 2005 that they would leave the show at the end of MADtv's tenth season. However, in order to provide a sense of continuity, FOX executives persuaded Weir to remain on the cast for part of the eleventh season. As for Michael McDonald, Bobby Lee, and Frank Caliendo, it had been announced in February 2006 that their contracts had expired, meaning they had an option to renew their contract for further seasons or leave the series after season eleven. Caliendo left while McDonald and Lee returned.
With the departures of cast members from Season 10, a new group of cast members were hired. Joining MADtv for its eleventh season as a repertory player, was The Groundlings alumnus and movie actress, Arden Myrin. The featured players included Chicago native and The Second City alum, Frank Caeti and Groundlings alumnus and television actress Nicole Randall Johnson.
