[HiVolt]

Just thought of a few more, all from the News @ Six series of sketches...

Alex Borstein - Sue Napersville
Debra Wilson - Rosa Marticorena
Phil Lamarr - Chance Cumulus


Two others come to mind, the characters that Aries Spears & Will Sasso played in "Talking American" sketches, I just cant remember their names...

Oh and Elton John played by Will Sasso...

[madislove]

blackwind, love the kelly avatar! kelly rules!

[blackwind]

Thanks! She certainly does!

[GlacierMonkey]

Very nice, but Kathryn had that girl that was always annoyed with her parents...what was her name again? She was in two skits, right?

[jeremy]

Kelly does rule. She's such a hottie.

Orlando Jones- The character in the Dixie Wetsworth sketches. I...can't remember his name...Dexter??

David Herman- Woody Allen

[blackwind]

Very nice, but Kathryn had that girl that was always annoyed with her parents...what was her name again? She was in two skits, right?

As far as I know, yep. She's up there as "the embarrassed girl" for now until someone comes up with her real name.

Kelly does rule. She's such a hottie.

Well, she's no Nikki, but let's not get *too* far off topic here.

Orlando Jones- The character in the Dixie Wetsworth sketches. I...can't remember his name...Dexter??

"Dexter Cinquois", or something. I have no clue on the spelling though, so he's just "Dexter" for now.

Well if she rules so much....why don't you just go marry her, eh?

Maybe I will then... maaaaaaaaaaybe I will! Now if only I had the cash to spring for a ring...

Okay, so being helpful.......I'll get back to you later on that one! Gotta think, and that could take QUITE some time for me (LOL!)

Yeah, but that could take QUITE some time fo--er, wait a sec...

And while you're at it......you might as well take Paul along with you, eh? *wink, wink*

You're just jealous because Jin Krapzama is a dud.

Now, the question is, can anyone come up with the names of the Eracists?

That was Katie!! Mike had Happy Folger and the tv show parody of Ed (Mike and Nicole and "The More You Know" skit). Stephnie had that psychic woman a couple times, didn't she? What the hell was her name? I think it started with an 'M'? Vera Mangus! Mike and Andrew had the "Come on Down!" doctor characters a couple times. Will and Debra had the Big John's Shirt Barn characters a couple times (not sure if that counts). And Debra had that character Sylvie. She was the one who spoke of people's disgusting diseases too loudly and embarrassed them.

That's all I can think of for now.

phil lamar-steve
alex borstein-anne

thats what i can remember off the top of my head

need nicole sullivan, will sasso and aries spears

[HiVolt]

Nicole's character in the Eracists was Debbie...

[Zac_In_Au]

That Kelly girl from American Idol looks so much like Susan Ward from Sunset Beach!

[tarzapam]

i gotta sie with mel on this one
jin is better then paul

[madislove]

whatever :p

[GlacierMonkey]

What a pointless debate...









































...'cause Ling, Alex, and Panda rule all.:p

[blackwind]

I swear -- all of you are on crack.

1. Jin is the cheesiest cheese-fest of a cheese to ever rule the common cheese in Cheeseville.
2. Ling (better known as Zhing Zhang Zhou to those of us who can't hear ) is no prize fighter, but she sure beats a swift kick in the jimmy.
3. Alex I'll comment on when I get my PS2. *cough* *cough*
4. Panda's cheesiness is rivaled only by Jin's.
5. Jin only *wishes* he had outfits as cool as Paul's.
6. Jin & Hwoarang sittin' in a tree. Need I say more?

Point: Matt. Now who's winning, huh?

[cartman2002]

Hey, i'm just wondering if MADtv will still be airing their reruns on
syndication this season. I'm wondering because I didn't see any
TV listings outside of TNN after September 14

[HiVolt]

Crap they better still have the reruns on FOX! The TNN ones SUCK they are cut in half and they repeat so often I've seen all of them 3-4 times within the past 6-7 months.
