Real **********ing Talk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Title Sequence

Real **********ing Talk is a recurring skit on MADtv and is considered to be a show-within-a-show. The show is a spoof of other forum-style shows such as Hardball with Chris Matthews and Real Time with Bill Maher. However, unlike other talk shows, Real **********ing Talk is known for its excessive use of (censored) foul language. The skit premiered in the ninth episode of MADtv's seventh season.

It is implied that the "censored" portion of the title is motherfucking.

Generally the "Token White" guests say or do something that leads to the others treating them with violent assault .Bill Maher was the only token white guest to play himself on the show (as well as the only token white guest whom Dollar Bill seemed to take any liking to) and Will Sasso was the only person to impersonate a real political figure on the show. The list of "Token White" guests are as follows:

Bill Maher made a cameo appearance on Real **********ing Talk's Thanksgiving Special which occurred on the sixth episode of MADtv's 10th-season. This was ironic, as Real **********ing Talk is a spoof loosely based off of Real Time with Bill Maher.
