He's listed as a rap artist, and while he looks like a dork, he makes
relatively intelligent comments (which is sure to get you plastered if
you're playing the IC drinking game, as I was last night. Ouch.)
I haven't seen Korn on i-channel, and I've always wondered how IC came
up with "Korn" in the translation. Is he really named after a vegetable
in Japanese? Is there perhaps a closer translation to his name?

trendy I would think. Korn spells his name in Katakana and the
phoeneticized spelling would be Korn, so I guess there's no other

I don't remember the link, but go to Sony's Japanese website (the
music division). Korn's CD is listed and you can hear an excerpt.
He actually is not a rapper but closer to a Don Ho/lounge-type of
singer.

That explains it, thanks. Now I have to wonder if the American band
Korn or if the Japanese rap artist Korn came first. I'm such a trouble-
maker.

The Japanese Korn came first. He was half of the Bubblegum Brothers way back
in the early '80s, known then as "Brother Korn." The style of music he/they
produced is more of a dancehall/reggae influenced hip hop sort of thing.
Here's a link with a sound file:

An excellent site, thanks! But it leads me to another question:
I use Netscape 4.6 to visit web sites and I have tried all three of the
Japanese character sets Netscape coems with, but I can't read sites in
Japanese. I couldn't read Japanese if my life depended on it, but I'd
like to see the actual characters and not just some little boxes. What
font or character set do you guys use?

This probably won't help, but IE5 w/ the Japanese language pack
rendered the site perfectly.

According to www.southpark.co.jp, Korn does the voice of Chef on their
dub of South Park. And his name is spelled with the English letters
"KORN".
There must be a lot of one-name types like that in Japan, as Cartman
is voiced by LILIKO. And yes, LILIKO is a girl.

Well, someone else said his name was indeed "Korn", and he was a former
Bubblegum guy in "The Bubble Gum Brothers" or something. I suppose you
could look it up on Deja, and report back if you find Deja actually
working.
As for Korn being Chef in the Japanese version of "South Park", yes he
is, and when I first started reading alt.tv.iron-chef, a whole bunch of
people had their panties in a knot about it. I think some oldbies didn't
believe Korn was the voice of Chef, or something. It was all quite
amusing and as close to a flame as I've seen on the group. Can we do it
again?

June Foray is not just a great female animation voice actress...she is the
greatest living animation voice actor, PERIOD.
She is also an amazing and supremely NICE human being.
She got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Summer...she was long
overdue.

Ooh, with all due respect to a living legend, I think Billy West and Scott

Billy Wuss can't fsckn act his way out of a paper bag.
The closest he's come to acting was his work with the Spumco-produced Ren
& Stimpy episodes, and there he had John Kricfalusi on his ass to make
sure he gave it all he had.
Billy Wuss is a MIMIC. A human tape recorder. Yes, he can do a scary Bugs
Bunny, because he above all the other people who have attempted to step
into Mel Blanc's shoes knows that not only do you have to imitate Bugs
Bunny but also Mel Blanc. However, did he do a good acting job as Bugs in
that horrible "Space Jam?" Nope. It was like listening to a computer
loaded with Mel Blanc as Bugs samples. There was no heart, no soul, no
emotion.
Right now the best new voice actor is Wendy Hoopes. She does the amazing
task of acting as Jane Lane, Quinn Morgendorffer and Helen Morgendorffer
in "Daria." They are all very different personalities and rather different
vocal styles. There is an incredibly amazing film clip of her effortlessly
shifting gears between all three characters in the MTV special "Daria:
Behind The Scenes." I hope she continues working in animation. She really
does have a feel for ACTING WITH HER VOICE rather than just coming up with
funny voices.
That's the difference between Billy Wuss and great voice actors. It's ACTING.

The Japanese Korn, maybe. He's been around at least 10 years now.
I remeber Brother Korn and his Bubblegum Brothers first started out
as a comic band, then Disco, then Rap, etc., whatever in fashion at
the time. He's an actor too. BTW the other "brother" is called Tom.

You never heard or saw him back in his days with Howard Stern, did you? He'd
get into a voice (Jackie Puppet, Marge Schott, Larry Fine, Jay Leno, a dead-on
Al Michaels), become possessed with it, and completely take over the show.
Then some of the guests (Michaels, Conan O'Brien, Richard Lewis, Nicole Eggert)
would be practically tortured by these characters. Howard was possibly upset
about Billy's stardom, and may be a reason why he's no longer with the show,
and Howard hasn't been the same since.

Gotta admit...the Jackie Puppet never failed to crack me up.
In regards to Billy Wuss/West leaving the Stern Show...I find it very
interesting that he left Stern very soon after a surprise encounter
between him and John Kricfalusi, creator of Ren & Stimpy, on the show. If
you remember, West first decided to hang tough with Spumco during the
Spumco/Nickelodeon War of 1992, but then jumped ship and joined the
Nickelodeon "Games Animation" unit formed to continue R&S production after
John K. and Spumco were kicked off the show.
Howard had John K. on the show...a complete surprise to West. John then
was egged on by Howard into confronting Billy about his continued work on
Ren & Stimpy.
I believe that Wuss left the Stern show within two weeks of that encounter.
Perhaps Stern knew that if Wuss would stab John K. in the back, he'd
probably have no compunctions about stabbing HIM in the back if the chips
were down. So maybe Stern decided to show him the door rather than risk
it.
I might be wrong...but...

I have heard this theory. Billy was noticeably unhappy on the E! show when
John K. was on. This might have something to do with his departure, but I
belive the main problem lies with Tom Cheapasano, followed by Howard's
jealousy.
