Vicki Lewis is best known for playing quirky secretary Beth on the
'90s TV series "NewsRadio." Guess what she looks like now?!

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.

You never asked.... :/
Ian (Lewis was only in a couple of episodes...)

Is that the show with Nancy "Jo" McKeon (Facts Of Life) is on?
Ian J. Ball
Yes. (Though McKeon was only in the pilot and one other episode...)

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.

matter what happens after. It's like winning an Oscar, except not,
because the Emmy people have no idea what they should be watching.

I'm really glad they don't feel the need for sci-fi categories.

Lewis actually has a dance and theatreaspect, as opposed to Griffin,
who only can play.......Griffin, in all her monochromatic personality-
driven snarkiness.
Taylor
Yes. 'Down & Out In Beverly Hills' was when he was in his prime.

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.

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.

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).

Yes, Segal was the reason to watch. An under-appreciated performance/

-- 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.
