PERFORMER | Kenan Thompson (Mavis) |
Kel Mitchell (Clavis) | |
DEBUT | 101 |
Mavis and Clavis are two elderly hecklers of the show. They tend to appear independent of sketches, and to introduce Musical Guests. They also reappeared during the "100th Episode Live!"and the "10th Anniversary Reunion Special".
While they often appear together, Clavis in particular has appeared in sketches without Mavis, such as when he helped motivate Baggin' Saggin' Barry, telling him to "reach down into his pants, and pull out the stuff he never knew he had." In one episode during Season 3, it was revealed that Clavis is the cousin of Coach Kreeton.
When Mavis and Clavis do appear in sketches, they are usually unhelpful to the situation, and often are the direct the cause of an issue, or they just refuse to help and heckle the people involved instead.
Mavis and Clavis can be heard at the end of every episode up until Season 6 during the Tollin-Robbins Productions vanity plate. Mavis yells "Hey Clavis, wake up! The show is over," to which Clavis responds "Ah yeah, kick it!"
