- Khandi Alexander. Khandi Alexander got her start as a dancer and choreographer, working with Whitney Houston, appearing in the video for Natalie Cole's 1988 cover of "Pink Cadillac," and making small appearances in films like "CB4" and "What's Love Got to Do with It."
- Andy Dick. Comedian Andy Dick made a name for himself with a gangly physicality and anything-goes shamelessness on shows like "The Ben Stiller Show" and a short-lived "Get Smart" remake.
- Dave Foley. The secret to Dave Nelson, Foley's character on "NewsRadio," is that he is not the straight man. A normal comedic structure might have Dave as the rational one contending with all the eccentrics flying around him — but the show only gives the appearance of that, taking advantage of Foley's boyish good looks and all-American (or all-Canadian, rather) wholesomeness.
- Phil Hartman. Phil Hartman was arguably the biggest star on "NewsRadio." The veteran comedian was coming off of eight years as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live," where he played current presidents, future presidents, and every type of character in between.
- Super Karate Monkey Death Car (Season 4, Episode 4) The main plot of Season 4's "Super Karate Monkey Death Car" concerns a polygraph test that efficiency expert Andrea subjects the staff to that is full of questions about any previous criminal activity or that of their co-workers.
- Bill Moves On (Season 5, Episode 1) In May 1998, between the fourth and fifth seasons of "NewsRadio," Phil Hartman's wife Brynn shot him to death before turning the gun on herself, per Variety.
- Smoking (Season 1, Episode 3) Very few sitcoms have a stellar first season, and Season 1 of "NewsRadio" is no exception. The balance of everything is just a little off.
- B***h Session (Season 2, Episode 12) "NewsRadio" rarely got sentimental. With one major exception, there were no "very special episodes." Still, the show that took its characters' feelings seriously, and "B***h Session" from Season 2 is a great example of that.
