About Me

Myspace Layouts - Free Image HostingNewsRadio has to be one of the best T.V shows. Every episode consisted of an a, b and c, sometimes d stories. They are always interesting and very, very funny. NewsRadio's cast is made up of great actors and actresses. Dave Foley as newsdirector Dave Nelson, Maura Tierney as reporter Lisa Miller, Andy Dick as reporter Matthew Brock, Phil Hartman as on-air talent Bill McNeal [seasons 1-4], Stephen Root as station owner Jimmy James, Khandi Alexander as on-air talent Catherine Duke, Vicki Lewis as secretary Beth, Joe Rogan as electrician Joe Garrelli, Jon Lovitz as on-air talent Max Louis [season 5]. The cast automatically hit it off and became great friends, and it is amazing how well they knew their characters.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``` SMOKING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bill and Dave are quiting from respectively smoking and coffee.

DAVE NELSON(Dave Foley) is the station's sarcastic, coffee-addicted, micromanaging news director from Wisconsin. Dave considered a career as a professional tap dancer before going into radio. He was a Boy Scout and 4-H Club member, and also a talented knife thrower and ventriloquist. Dave is the rock of the office, listening to people's problems whether he wants to or not. His birth certificate holds a deep, dark secret that's of little consequence to anyone.

Ambitious and intelligent LISA MILLER (Maura Tierney), with whom Dave has an intermittent relationship, is promoted and demoted within the show's run, serving as reporter, on-air personality, producer and news director. Lisa's parents raised her in a regimented environment (which Dave called a "Skinner Box") and didn't allow her to watch TV. She abruptly decided to go into news radio while eating a cheese-steak sandwich. She's also a ridiculous overachiever who went so far as to retake her SAT's well out of college.

The station's news anchors are the bombastic, egocentric BILL MCNEAL (Phil Hartman) and the unflappable and motherly, but nonetheless sassy Catherine Duke(Khandi Alexander, who left the show during the fourth season). The two characters were often bitter rivals, partly due to an office affair they had earlier, casting doubt on the wisdom of Dave and Lisa's relationship.

JIMMY JAMES (Stephen Root), the station's extroverted billionaire owner (who may have been Watergate scandal source Deep Throat), often places strange bets with his rich friends and is desperately looking for a wife. He is seen as a loving father figure by everyone in the office, often in spite of his eccentricities, which are bizarre even by the staff's standards. Jimmy knows many secrets about his staff but also has a few of his own.

JOE GARELLI (Joe Rogan) is the station's engineer and all around fix-it-guy. He builds all the things he needs, rather than purchasing them (including his own homemade duct tape), and espouses various conspiracy theories. His last name is the subject of a running gag: whenever it is mentioned, someone looks perplexed and says, "your last name is Garelli?"
