Line 33:
* Vicki Lewis ("Beth") on ''[[News Radio]]'' reportedly feuded with Kathy Griffin because of her similar redheaded character on ''[[Suddenly Susan]]''. It is worth noting that Griffin's character, while a complete ripoff of Lewis's from the standpoint of personality, is not actually a secretary.
** And Vicki Lewis is actually talented and funny.

'''Joe:''' I don't know how to tell you this, but there's a spunky redhead in ''every'' office.<br />
'''Beth:''' Tell me about it. }}
** She shouldn't have been so upset about one character being like her character, so much as for most of [[The Nineties]] approximately 80% of the shows on NBC were about [[Follow the Leader|single people working at a media outlet in a big city]]. They all had a character that was exactly like hers.
Line 55:
* Whenever Picard adopts the persona of Dixon Hill in the holodeck on ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', he gets his own [[Sassy Secretary]].
* A rare male example: Dennis Finch (David Spade) on ''[[Just Shoot Me]]'' (though he denies being a secretary, at least at first).
