Tune into WNYX, a New York City news radio station, and meet its quirky staff in NewsRadio. This ensemble comedy is known for its witty banter, rapid-fire jokes, and surreal humor. The show features a fantastic cast, including Phil Hartman, Dave Foley, and Maura Tierney, who had incredible comedic chemistry. It was created by Paul Simms. The show often experimented with different formats and storylines, sometimes venturing into the absurd. Despite facing some challenges during its run, NewsRadio developed a dedicated following for its smart writing and talented cast. It's a hidden gem of 90s television comedy.

In the B-story, Bill complains to Dave about all the clutter that mysteriously finds its way to his desk.

Bill invites Beth on a lunch date which she accepts despite Lisa's fear that Bill will take advantage of her. The tables are turned when Beth sticks her tongue down Bill's throat. Dave tries to get to the bottom of WNYX's financial problems.
