List of NewsRadio episodes


NewsRadio is an American sitcom, originally broadcast from 1995 to 1999 by NBC. In total, 98 episodes were broadcast spanning 5 seasons.

Wisconsin native Dave Nelson arrives in New York to start his new job as the News Director at WNYX. His first task: fire the old News Director. Guest stars Kurt Fuller as Ed Harlow, Greg Lee as Rick, Wallace Langham as Jeff, Beau Billingslea as The Security Guard, and Ella Joyce as Catherine Duke.

Note: Neither Joe Rogan nor Khandi Alexander appear in the pilot. Greg Lee's "Rick" character is similar to Rogan's "Joe" character, and Ella Joyce plays "Catherine". Catherine's last name is not revealed in this episode.

Note: Joyce is mostly offscreen, though she can be heard delivering several newscasts (and can be very briefly glimpsed in the broadcast booth in a few shots). She is seen clearly towards the end of the episode standing outside the broadcast booth, but has no lines during this scene.

Bill receives an offer to publish his autobiography, but he soon realizes that there is not much in his life worth committing to paper.

The staff tries to convince Jimmy not to sell the station.

Bill misquotes Alfred Tennyson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and then attributes it to John Keats. The date he gives, 1776, is 19 years before Keats was born and 78 years before the poem was published.

Joe tries to teach Matthew about gambling. Dave has to give a speech introducing Bill at a dinner.

Bill and Catherine's practical joke war escalates. Dave is annoyed that Lisa still has a relationship with her ex-boyfriend.

Note: Features the Joe Rogan Quote about the Internet. "You can't take something off the Internet, that's like trying to take pee out of a swimming pool. Once it's in there, it's in there."
