NewsRadio	comment	A satirical Work Com that aired on NBC from 1995â€“99, set at fictional New York City news-talk radio station WNYX-AM.Dave Foley (The Kids in the Hall) starred as news director and Only Sane Man Dave Nelson, whose co-workers included pompous anchorman Bill McNeal (Phil Hartman), neurotic overachieving producer Lisa Miller (Maura Tierney), inept roving reporter Matthew Brock (Andy Dick), Sassy Secretary Beth (Vicki Lewis), Eccentric Millionaire station-owner Jimmy James (Stephen Root), Conspiracy Theorist electrician and Homemade Inventions producer Joe Garelli (Joe Rogan), and, for the first three seasons, co-anchor Sassy Black Woman Catherine Duke (Khandi Alexander, who left for a bigger role on ER; Tierney joined her after NewsRadio was axed). After Hartman's death, Jon Lovitz signed on for the final season as Bill's Suspiciously Similar Substitute Max Louis.Characterized by its fast-paced plotting, quick-witted dialogue, heavy amounts of Slapstick, and occasionally surreal, outlandish plotlines. Episodes were generally self-contained, with the few arcs that were present generally being forced upon the writers by NBC and only lasting a few episodes before being quietly dropped. Infamously, the showrunners' reaction to being asked to do a Will They or Won't They? storyline was to have the main characters hook up in the second episode.Though critically acclaimed, NewsRadio never got the recognition or Ratings it deserved, in part because NBC apparently scheduled it by rolling dice each week.Not to be confused with the surrealist comedy No Soap, Radio.

NewsRadio / int_15f76026	comment	Inexplicably Identical Individuals: Jon Lovitz played three separate characters during the show - Fred (no last name given), Mike Johnson, and Max Louis. The first two were one-off extras, only present for a single episode each (the former was an air traffic controller who occasionally fakes insanity to get a free vacation in the local mental hospital, the latter a suicidal ex-employee of Jimmy James), while the latter served as Bill McNeal's replacement following Phil Hartman's death. Lampshaded, and possibly subverted, when Max reveals that "Max Louis" isn't actually his real name. His true name is never revealed, but he explains that he takes on a new name and persona whenever he changes jobs, suggesting that all three characters might actually be the same in-universe person.

NewsRadio / int_1c9537cd	type	The Main Characters Do Everything
NewsRadio / int_1c9537cd	comment	The Main Characters Do Everything: WNYX is supposed to be a busy New York City radio station, but the eight main characters seem to do every job. The electrician sits in on story meetings and sometimes goes on the air. The show originally had Ghost Extras in the background to suggest that there were other employees, but eventually gave up on that. Lampshaded and Hand Waved in "Kids", when Dave calls Joe, Matthew, and Bill into his office to make them confess which one of them has been leaving porn magazines in the break room. "Beep, Beep" out right say that the main characters are the only ones in the office who actually work there. Basically, Mr. James had a team of spies pretending to work at the office and monitor the staff's productive until he learns something about Dave and Lisa that makes him believe the whole venture was pointless. He then orders his entire spy team to shut down and every single person who isn't one of the main characters leaves. Something of a case of Truth in Television for people who have worked in radio. Most radio stations, especially those run by major conglomerates, tend to be understaffed. Assuming that the station ran a few syndicated programs (which, again, most radio stations would), the visible staff of WNYX would be an entirely reasonable, realistic workforce, missing only a few part-timers, one or two people on the production staff, and the sales people who don't really count anyway (according to the first few minutes of the series, the "Business Offices" were across town, which is where sales people and the like would've been located anyway).

In "The Trainer", the staff is shocked to find out that Dave is actually Canadian. Dave Foley is from Canada. "Bill's Autobiography" has a scene where Bill is given a tape recorder to write his thoughts for his autobiography, which includes a tape of Dave singing the song "A Horse with No Name" by America. Phil Hartman, during his time working as a graphic artist, designed three of that group's album covers; while his brother John was the band's manager. Joe Garrelli continually espoused his beliefs in conspiracy theories, such as man never landing on the moon; Joe Rogan is similarly known for his comments on conspiracy theories. In addition, Joe and Matthew once faced each other in a no-holds-barred ultimate fighting match and Joe would later attempt to teach Matthew and Max his homemade martial art, "Joe-Jitsu"; Rogan has been a martial artist for most of his life and started working for the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 1997, a year before the show went off the air. Lisa is revealed to originally be from Boston and has a strong Boston accent that she worked with a speech therapist to suppress; Maura Tierney is originally from Boston.

NewsRadio / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: Pretty much. Dave refuses to join Lisa, Beth, Joe, Max, and Jimmy in New Hampshire, leaving Dave all alone in the WNYX studio... or so he thought. Turns out Matthew was hiding under his desk and surprised him. So while Dave isn't alone, he's stuck with Matthew as his assistant, a guy who can't do much of anything except play computer solitaire. The Oh, Crap! look on Dave's face pretty much says it all. Word of God states that if the show had been renewed, the entire cast would have been transplanted to the new station in New Hampshire, so if you accept that as canon, you could reason that Dave and Matthew did end up joining the others after all. The non-canon "Space" and "Sinking Ship" end with every cast member except Bill and Matthew dead (and in the latter case, it's heavily implied they won't last much longer anyway)

NewsRadio / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Many traits of the characters and setting weren't established until Season Two, making the Season One episodes a strange viewing experience to those who came to the series later on. Jimmy was rather stern in manner during the first season. It wouldn't be until Season Two that his eccentric side would take over. Season One contains no mentions of Joe's homemade inventions or his belief in conspiracy theories. In the first season, the room behind Matthew's desk is a recording booth. In the Season Two premiere, it suddenly becomes the break room. Matthew is still a ditz, but hasn't yet become the slapstick magnet that he would become in Season Two. He also behaves normally toward Bill instead of the fawning admirer he is through most of the series. Heck, Matthew actually goes on the air and is a semi-competent reporter in season one. This is in contrast to how he is portrayed the rest of the series- a computer solitaire obsessed Manchild who can only be described by Mr. James by "The damage he does is pretty minimal in the long run..." In a matter not too dissimilar from Cheers, the first season of the show was - outside of The Teaser in the pilot - set entirely within the WNYX offices. The second season started having scenes set outside of it, but usually only if it was particularly called for by the plot. By the third season, it had more or less abandoned the idea of constraining itself to the office.

NewsRadio / int_50f66629	comment	Crazy-Prepared: Bill, in "Presence", always has his contract in an inside pocket of his suit, just in case. During "The Real Deal with Bill McNeal", Bill has a pre-recorded sound effects for any occasion, including "Hey, good question!", "Hey, don't mention it!" and "Well screw you too!", and keeps extras in his pocket in case the producer takes the loaded ones out. Also, in the episode "Security Door", Dave gets fed-up with everyone not following proper security door protocol. Calling a staff meeting, he has an easel and a huge pad of paper with drawings of what to do and not to do while he gives his speech, covering fires, thieving burglars, propping open the door, earthquakes (even explaining that they mainly happen in the 'ring of fire' in the Pacific rim) and... Matthew's questions. They fit EXACTLY what he is saying, and even predicts what the staff will ask him. To wit:

The first time he does call Dave Dave, he soon thinks he's made a mistake and apologetically uncorrects himself back to Doug. One of the plotlines for the Season 1 episode "Inappropriate" involves Matthew worrying about getting fired and landing WNYX in trouble with the FCC after committing this, repeatedly, during an on-air "Where are They Now" segment about Joey Buttafuoco explanation For obvious reasons, it is not said completely aloud, but it's implied that Matthew mispronounced his name as "Butta-fuck-o", instead of "Butta-foo-co". Dave informs him of this blunder in this exchange:

In his Real Deal editorial, Bill, in suggesting foreign diplomats be held accountable for violating parking laws like everyone else, facetiously suggests they be dragged out of their cars and beaten as punishment, much to the dismay of Dave and Lisa. This forces Bill to issue an on-air apology after receiving word that a listener savagely beat a French diplomat for that reason, in which he rails against vigilantism by suggesting â€œa certain element of our society named Joe Vigilanteâ€� be â€œdragged out and beaten.â€� Bizarrely, his use of what he thought was a metaphorical name makes things worse after a man actually named Joe Vigilante is assaulted by another listener, prompting Lisa to have Bill read another editorial/apology she wrote for him that concludes by asking people that â€œinstead of listening to our radio, [we should] listen to our heart.â€� Soon after, Bill reads a story on-air about a mental hospital patient who inadvertently killed himself by taking the written sentiment to heart (pun intended), much to his and Lisaâ€™s horror.

Since Matthew knows nothing about boxing, he doesn't realize it is an ad for a rerun of the legendary George Foreman vs Muhammad Ali match which happened 20 years earlier and as a result, he instantly loses by betting on George Foreman. Next, Matthew (who has racked up over 5,000 dollars' worth of debt with Joe because he didn't understand what double or nothing meant) is trying to throw a wad of paper into a waste basket across the office. When he actually bets with Joe, he succeeds, but he was in such a hurry to do it, he didn't realize Joe bet that he could do it. Finally, with Matthew's debt at over 10,000 dollars, Liza convinces Joe to throw a bet by having Matthew guess which of Joe's hands a pencil is in. Despite Joe making it as easy as possible (the pencil was sticking straight out of his hand), Matthew still picks the wrong hand.

NewsRadio / int_ff555c8f	comment	Cross-Referenced Titles: Bored with coming up with titles for their episodes, the writers resorted to naming the last nine episodes of Season 2 after Led Zeppelin albumsnote Though they miss Led Zeppelin III . And then in Season 3, they randomly named one episode "Led Zeppelin Boxed Set". See also Idiosyncratic Episode Naming. "Catherine Moves On" in Season Four and "Bill Moves On" in Season Five.
