The 49-year-old resurfaced at some event, looking redder.

In the '90s, Vicki was often confused with her then fellow NBC sitcom star Kathy Griffin.

Lewis dated Nick Nolte for almost ten years.

"Mr. Costanza" She played George Constanza's secretary who got a raise -- in more ways than one!!!! -- during the throws of passion.

I'll admit that's a bad facial pose (looking all Howard Dean, Beaker from The Muppets), but she doesn't look _that_ bad! Though it's ONLY been a decade since NR left the air.

I always thought it was strange that they dated until I saw his mug shot.

Back in the day, Nick was considered a hunk. I'm talking "Rich Man Poor Man" era.

Yes. 'Down & Out In Beverly Hills' was when he was in his prime.

No one who was on "Newsradio" may ever be considered a failure no matter what happens after. It's like winning an Oscar, except not, because the Emmy people have no idea what they should be watching.

Lewis actually has a dance and theatreaspect, as opposed to Griffin, who only can play.......Griffin, in all her monochromatic personality- driven snarkiness.

You know I feel about NewsRadio, Just Shoot Me and Scrubs-- shows that (to me) are meant to have only a 5 year shelf life. Only Scrubs got greedy.Very greedy.

Well, Jon Lovitz.

And Andy Dick is sure doing his best.

The whole of "Newsradio" was much, much greater than its parts. Everyone involved (even Dick, Lovitz and Rogan) get a lifetime free pass for being a part of arguably the greatest assembled cast.

And Lovitz was actually on 2 good shows ("Newsradio" and "The Critic") and imo the best "SNL" cast, so while he comes off awfully alone he seems to be a valuable group player.

Indeed, the adult ensemble cast gelled well together like The Dick Van Dyke Show did. I simply can't give Lovitz a lifetime free-pass. It's like giving that Rena Sofer girl (show-killer!!!!) the same for her stint on late-series Just Shoot Me.

And Joe Rogan. Even on that show, admittedly his best anything, he came across as completely obnoxious and unappealing, as he always does.

Speak... of... the... devil! I'm watching 'Til Death' just to purposely annoy myself and guess who's playing the waitress at the pizza shop? Poor thing can't be happy doing bit parts like that. I'm _positive_ that she's successful at doing voice-overs w/ a variety of voices (she can soooooooooo do sultry).

-- She played Maureen Binford on a couple of episodes of Home Improvement. She became the new producer of Tool Time and might have been in more episodes if her character hadn't been utterly and completely annoying. I can just imagine the overwhelmingly negative focus group reaction that probably occurred when the character was introduced and the producers were trying to gauge their decision to introduce her as a foil for Tim.

YIKES...she got beat by the ugly stick. Of course if she would paint herself like Griffin has with all the plastic surgery she might look better. I bet Griffin has spent most of the money she has made over the years on PS.

Vicki Lewis had a very small role as a sales clerk in "The Ugly Truth."
