FUNNY FOURSOME JOINS "MADtv" FOR 14TH SEASON PREMIERING SEPT. 13 ON FOX

Erica Ash, Matt Braunger, Eric Price and Lauren Pritchard Join Cast

MADtv welcomes new cast members Erica Ash, Matt Braunger, Eric Price and Lauren Pritchard for the 14th season of the Emmy Award-winning sketch comedy series premiering Saturday, Sept. 13 (11:00 PM-Midnight ET/PT) on FOX. The new cast will join returning cast members Bobby Lee, Nicole Parker, Keegan-Michael Key, Crista Flanagan, Arden Myrin and Johnny Sanchez to continue MADtv's hilarious late-night pop culture parodies and politically incorrect humor.

In the upcoming season, MADtv returns with more wall-to-wall spoofs of popular music, movies and television including Bobby Lee's "24" parodies and, just in time for the election, Keegan-Michael Key's popular "FAUXBAMA" sketches. MADtv will also continue to step out of the theater for new sketches shot on the streets of Los Angeles.

Erica Ash, born and raised an Army brat, claims Atlanta as her home. Ash climbed the entertainment ladder by landing roles on the cable series "The Big Gay Sketch Show" and in the Las Vegas production of the hit musical "Spamalot."

Matt Braunger was raised in Portland, OR, and has been a featured performer at the Just For Laughs Festival and South By Southwest. He also recently won "Best of the Fest" at the inaugural Rooftop Comedy Festival in Aspen.

Eric Price, a Milwaukee native, performed in over 500 shows a year before getting his big break on the cable series "Reno 911!."

As a teenager, Lauren Pritchard studied improv at the SAK Theater in her hometown of Orlando, FL, under teacher Wayne Brady. Pritchard is an alumnus of Disney's "Comedy Warehouse" and has performed with TheatreSports, ACME, iO West and ComedySportz.

MADtv is a production of Quincy Jones David Salzman Entertainment. The executive producers are David Salzman, Quincy Jones and John Crane.
