Answer 1

Take some improv classes. Groundlings, Second City a smaller level. The folks on Mad TV have been doing what they do for years so get yourtraining now. You might also try some standup. Here's a good articlefrom a company I always send people to: http://www.holdonlog.com/pages/AN-OM-060... Start creating characters. Research, research.

Answer 2

I'm not sure exactly how MadTV works but I think either you'd have to audition, or they'd contact you personally and ask you to be on the show. The latter assumes you're an established comedian though, and I think it's more likely the prior.
