      Retro & Nostalgia · Television · What Character Am I?

      By BrainFall Staff - Updated: April 2, 2024

      One of the most beloved cult television series of the 90s, “NewsRadio” was known for its unique and hilarious cast of characters who all banded together to barely get by on a New York City radio station. While the station was low in the ratings, it always seemed like a fun place to work. Which “NewsRadio” character are you? Let’s find out… right after this message!

      Newsradio

      Newsradio - a cult classic 90s sitcom - is a fan favorite everywhere. It was the beginning of the careers of many beloved actors like Andy Dick, Phil Hartmon, Joe Rogan, Dave Foley, and more. Does your personality and workplace culture identify more with Jimmy James or Bill McNeal? Are you a Joe Garrelli or Matthew Brock? Take our quiz to find out which Newsradio character you are.

      Which “NewsRadio” Character Are You?

      If the wacky world of WNYX NewsRadio has ever had you chuckling or secretly wishing you could join their crew, we've got something that will rev up your day better than Bill McNeal's rants or Matthew's epic clumsiness. We're talking about the classic '90s TV show, "NewsRadio," a show that perfectly blended the zaniness of its characters with the sleep-inducing world of AM news radio. The unforgettable folks who made up the show's cast weren't just funny; they were like that oddball work family we all know we have (or wish we did).

      Which “NewsRadio” Character Are You?

      Now, let's admit it—we've all imagined which sitcom character most closely mirrors our oh-so-unique personalities. Maybe you've got the wit of Dave Nelson or the eccentric charm of Jimmy James. Or do you sometimes hide a Joe Rogan-esque handyman under that business attire? Well, it’s time to put those "air mic" skills to the test and find out which "NewsRadio" character you'd be pulling off if life were a sitcom, and our office was a floor up from the eerily quiet drone of the AM radio waves.

      So, gather 'round the break room—the one spot where plots thicken and coffee mugs mysteriously disappear—as we take you through a quirky journey to discover which “NewsRadio” personality is channeling through you. Whether you aired life's biggest moments on NBC’s hit sitcom or just shared a laugh over the airwaves, everyone's got a little WNYX in them. We’re ready—are you? Let's embark on this hilariously revealing quiz brought to you by BrainFall. Are you the quirky Matthew or the sharp-tongued Beth? Only one way to find out!

      Meet the WNYX Crew

      The WNYX crew gathers around the newsroom, each character exuding their unique personality. The hustle and bustle of a busy workday is evident as they interact with one another

      Before we dive into which "NewsRadio" character is your spirit animal, let's get the skinny on the eclectic bunch from WNYX. These characters bring the quirks and quips that make the show a 90s gem.

      Dave Nelson: The Sane Center

      Dave Foley plays Dave Nelson, the calm and collected news director whose Midwestern charm anchors the wacky crew of WNYX. Whether he's wrangling egos or cracking deadpan zingers, Dave's the eye of the storm.

      Bill McNeil: The Ego Has Landed

      Portrayed by Phil Hartman, Bill McNeil is the bombastic, self-absorbed anchor with a voice that could sell ice to Eskimos. His inflated ego is matched only by his hilariously off-kilter takes on... well, just about everything.

      Beth: Fashion & Frenzy

      Vicki Lewis as Beth brings a whirlwind of vintage skirts and snappy one-liners. As the assistant with a heart of gold and a fashion sense even the 80s questioned, she's a dose of unpredictable fun.

      Joe Garrelli: Electric Personality

      Turn up the voltage because Joe Rogan as Joe Garrelli is the electrician with more than just technical skills. Joe's conspiracy theories and macho moments spark much of the show's static shock humor.

      Lisa Miller: Brains and Ambition

      Played by Maura Tierney, Lisa Miller is the ambitious producer/reporter whose smarts are as sharp as her wit. Always aiming to climb higher, Lisa's blend of passion and intelligence often steers the ship through newsroom chaos.

      Catherine Duke: Voice of Reason

      Khandi Alexander's Catherine Duke is the level-headed news anchor whose cool demeanor and professional poise temper the antics of her colleagues. With Catherine, it's less about the drama and more about the broadcast.

      Matthew Brock: Adorably Clueless

      As Matthew Brock, the bumbling reporter who often misses the mark, Andy Dick delivers a master class in adorkable. His good intentions pave the road to comedic mishap, and we can't help but root for him.

      Max Lewis: The New Guy

      Jon Lovitz steps in as Max Lewis, the later addition to the WNYX family. He may be new, but he fits right in with a quirkiness that contends with the rest. His attempts to gel with the team? Comedy gold.

      Get ready to match your personality with one of these memorable characters. Maybe you’re the voice of reason, the adorkable one, or even the station's diva. Let's find out together!

      Behind the Scenes

      Before we dive into which "NewsRadio" character you're most like, let's take a sneaky peek behind the curtain to see how this sitcom magic happened.

      Writing and Production

      Our show was the brainchild of Paul Simms, the mastermind who brought the zany WNYX radio station to life. The production of “NewsRadio” was a fast-paced affair, often with scripts being completed mere days before filming. Creativity was the name of the game, with quick rewrites and a responsive crew keeping things fresh episode to episode.

      Memorable Guest Stars

      We sure loved to sprinkle a little extra pizzazz into the show with a sprinkle of guest stars. From the incredible James Caan to the hilarious Jon Lovitz, “NewsRadio” had no shortage of memorable faces popping by. And let's not forget Lovitz's endearing role after we faced a heartbreaking loss — but more on that in a sec.

      Tributes and Departures

      We're not all laughs here; we have our serious moments, too. The tragic passing of Phil Hartman, our beloved Bill McNeal, led to some of the most emotional episodes. Honoring Phil, Jon Lovitz stepped into the cast, and the show paid tribute to Hartman's comedic genius in ways that still tug at our heartstrings.

      So, as we remember the good times (and the sad ones), grab your bagel from the break room and let's find out which "NewsRadio" character you embody!
