Newsradio bills autobiography definition

Dave Nelson, station manager for most of NewsRadio 's run, is the calm focal point for the station. Series creator, Paul Simms gave the following reasons for the character names: Dave Nelson: I named this character Dave because I wrote it with no one else but Dave Foley in mind. Nelson is my mother's maiden name. It wasn't until after we'd shot the pilot that someone-many people, in fact-pointed out that Dave Nelson was the name of a character on "Ozzie and Harriet" or something.

I wanted something similar, but not identical to "Phil". Lisa Miller: I just liked the name Lisa. Jimmy James: Named after the first song on a Beastie Boys album. She has no last name, or at least that's what she tells people. Catherine Duke: We wanted something regal sounding.

Newsradio bills autobiography definition: Bill tries to write his

I think my only reasoning with this name was that he seemed like the kind of guy who would insist on being called "Matthew" and not "Matt"--much as he often calls Dave "David" on the show. Joe Garelli: Before we cast Joe Rogan, the character was called "Rick", which was loosely based on Drake, which was the name of a writer I worked with on "Larry Sanders"--and who now works here at NewsRadio.

I think after we cast Rogan, he was "Ted" for a day or two of rehearsal, and then we just decided "Joe" was easier.
