When the chips are stacked in her favor, the other contestants get angry because she’s given extra spins, points and, of course, attention. In another sketch, Pam plays Ike Barinholtz’s hot grandma who stops by the set, where she quickly discovers his friends want more than just a little hug.

Anderson joins many talented stars scheduled to make guest appearances on MADtv during November, including Christopher Meloni (“Law and Order: SVU”, scheduled to appear on Saturday, Nov. 19, as well as Jeff Garlin (“Curb Your Enthusiasm “) and WWE’s John Cena, who are scheduled to appear on Saturday, Nov. 26.

MADtv cast members include Ike Barinholtz, Frank Caliendo, Daniele Gaither, Keegan-Michael Key, Bobby Lee, Michael McDonald, Nicole Parker, Jordan Peele and Stephnie Weir. The hilarious cast has created such popular characters as McDonald’s “Stuart” and “Marvin Tikkvah,” Weir’s “Dot” and “Angela,” Lee’s “Kim Jong Il” and “Connie Chung,” Caliendo’s “John Madden” and “Jay Leno,” and Parker’s “Ellen DeGeneres” and “Britney Spears.” Featured cast member Crista Flanagan returned this season along with three talented new cast members: Frank Caeti, Nicole Randall Johnson and Arden Myrin.
