Line 2: [[File:NewsRadio.jpg\|frame\|(left to right) Catherine, Matthew, Jimmy, Bill, Dave, Lisa, Joe, and Beth.]] A'''''NewsRadio''''' is a [[Work Com]] airing on [[NBC]] from 1995-99, set at a news-talk radio station and starring Dave Foley (as news director and [[Only Sane Man]] Dave Nelson), Phil Hartman (playing [[Small Name, Big Ego]] anchorman Bill McNeil), Andy Dick (Matthew Brock, [[The Ditz]]), Vicki Lewis ([[Sassy Secretary]] Beth), Stephen Root ([[Eccentric Millionaire]] station-owner Jimmy James), Joe Rogan (Joe Garelli, a [[Conspiracy Theorist]] electrician with a propensity for [[Homemade Inventions]]) and Maura Tierney (neurotic overachiever Lisa Miller). Khandi Alexander played [[Sassy Black Woman]] Catherine Duke for three seasons before leaving for a bigger role on ''[[ER]]'' (which Tierney also joined the cast of following this show's cancellation). Though critically acclaimed, ''[[News Radio]]'' never got the recognition or [[Ratings]] it deserved, in part because NBC apparently scheduled it by rolling dice each week. After Hartman's death, Jon Lovitz signed on as a [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]. Line 37: ** Joe Garelli and Bill McNeal also stand out, being highly skilled, but either half-crazed or highly obnoxious. * [[Burger Fool]]: Lisa in "Lucky Burger". * [[Canada, Eh?]]{{context\|reason=Why this trope instead of just 'Canada'? For that matter, why this trope at all?}} * [[Canada, Eh?]] * [[The Cassandra]]: Dave is a terrific news director. He's tough, has foresight, good instincts and a lot of common sense, and is a BS detector. Despite this, nobody at the office ever believes his warnings and his authority is roundly dismissed, as much of the staff see him as just a [[Stop Having Fun Guy\|killjoy]]. * [[Christmas Episode]] * [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Most of the cast. But especially Matthew. * [[Conspiracy Theorist]]: Joe, full stop.{{context}} * [[Converse with the Unconscious]]: Dave to Mr. James in "Sleeping". * [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Jimmy's nemesis Johnny Johnson.
