  • Laura Bakula: A news anchor for the then-NBC affiliate (now ABC O&O) WMRI-TV where Amanda and Elisa win a guest Anchor spot (TV Sweethearts). The duo gains popularity with Laura's audience by tactlessly ridiculing her on the air for being an over the hill feminism poseur and promising free piercings as a giveaway. Laura's show, which seemingly had almost no audience before the pair guest hosted, is retooled to emulate Amanda and Elisa after her audience apparently wants to hear more of them. After hearing the reworked show, Elisa remarks "This used to be a pretty cool station until they put these dorks on." Voiced by Laura Bakula.


  • Captain Sam Singleton: A weatherman on WMRI-TV, he hosts Sam Singleton, a program on which he talks to troubled teens. He unsuccessfully tries to appear tuned in to the lingo of teenagers/young adults. Amanda and Elisa are sent to appear on the show by Principal Mughmaw as a disciplinary measure. Earlier in the episode, Singleton covers an event at Port Melissa at which the university is announcing a canned food drive. The fraternities have glued cans together to spell the word "CARES" next to the Port Melissa University sign. When the drape is removed from the cans, it is shown that Amanda and Elisa have rearranged the cans to spell "SUKS" (misspelling "sucks") instead. This event was apparently televised live, as Mughmaw shows the ladies a replay of it in her office before giving them a choice of either going on Sam Singleton and confessing, or removing asbestos] from the cafeteria. Voiced by Ava Zinn impersonating Doug Rafferty.
  • Deborah Shea: The WFTW Channel 6 (then-CBS affiliate, now NBC affiliate) reporter who covers the "labor dispute" at Square J when Amanda and Elisa decide to go on strike (On Strike).
