*'''[[Maurice Chavez]]''' (Philip Anthony-Rodriguez) – The host of the show and someone constantly frustrated with the selection of his panel. He frequently has grandiose dreams of success after his show was moved from an overnight slot, which came to partial fruition with his show's domination of the VCPR channel 2 years later. | *'''[[Maurice Chavez]]''' (Philip Anthony-Rodriguez) – The host of the show and someone constantly frustrated with the selection of his panel.

*'''Martin Graves''' – A technologist and stereotypical nerd that has absurdly futuristic dreams, many with a high concentration of robots, as well as a variety of strange sexual fetishes. Abhors mainstream religion as obsolete and derides [[wp:creationism|creationism]] in classrooms. It's also implied that he's a transvestite. | *'''[[Martin Graves]]''' – A technologist and stereotypical nerd that has absurdly futuristic dreams, many with a high concentration of robots, as well as a variety of strange sexual fetishes.

*'''Bryony Craddock''' (Shelagh Ratner) – A fanatically patriotic ''"white trash"'' mother who has had ''fifteen'' children and is already pregnant with her next one, and ends up going into labor as of the show is taping. She believes that large numbers of American children are the best way to preserve American culture and heritage. She also believes in [[wp:matriarchy|matriarchy]]. She may also be a stereotype of a "soccer mom," as she attends numerous PTA meetings, is quite religious, and is quick to try and silence anyone who says something she finds offensive (she joined a successful petition to pull [[Bernard Gordon|Crow]]'s then latest album off the radio, stating that she believes no one should be allowed to hear it.) | *'''Bryony Craddock''' (Shelagh Ratner) – A fanatically patriotic ''"white trash"'' mother who has had ''fifteen'' children and is already pregnant with her next one, and ends up going into labor as of the show is taping.

*'''Forbes Waverly III''' (Melinda Wade) – An uncaring and ruthless industrialist from Connecticut whose name and behavior are very masculine, implying that she is asexual, if not also a militant feminist much like [[Michaela Carapadis]] from [[K-CHAT]]. She is obsessed with the economy and possession. Her acerbic behavior is attributed to her being neglected by her father as a child. | *'''Forbes Waverly III''' (Melinda Wade) – An uncaring and ruthless industrialist from Connecticut whose name and behavior are very masculine, implying that she is asexual, if not also a militant feminist much like [[Michaela Carapadis]] from [[K-CHAT]].

*'''Bryce Parker''' – A reporter with a British accent, reporting on the prostitution – and his [[wp:sex tourism|personal enjoyment]] – of children and prepubescents in Thailand. Dwayne is apparently far more interested in the latter. | *'''Bryce Parker''' – A reporter with a British accent, reporting on the prostitution – and his [[wp:sex tourism|personal enjoyment]] – of children and prepubescents in Thailand.

*'''Chuck Summers''' – Reports on the stereotypical and abject poverty of India prior to its 21st century economic boom before suddenly coming down with a very violent case of diarrhea. | *'''Chuck Summers''' – Reports on the stereotypical and abject poverty of India prior to its 21st century economic boom before suddenly coming down with a very violent case of diarrhea. | ||
*'''John Sickerman''' – Another reporter with a British accent, John interviews an Ecuadorian drug lord named Pedro on how American money has "transformed" South American society. Parodies American corporate influence in Central and South America as well as the funding of [[wp:Contras|Contras]] and other violent individuals and groups in those regions during the closing stages of the Cold War. | *'''John Sickerman''' – Another reporter with a British accent, John interviews an Ecuadorian drug lord named Pedro on how American money has "transformed" South American society.

*'''Heinrich Havelock''' – A reporter with a German accent, interviewing a tribal chieftain from a formerly-forested town in Venezuela that Dwayne cannot pronounce (Dwayne also cannot correctly pronounce Heinrich's name). This interview parodies the cultural assimilation of indigenous peoples due to Western influence. | *'''Heinrich Havelock''' – A reporter with a German accent, interviewing a tribal chieftain from a formerly-forested town in Venezuela that Dwayne cannot pronounce (Dwayne also cannot correctly pronounce Heinrich's name).
