The Team Struggles To Stop Smoking | NewsRadio

Looks like the office won't be able to smoke anymore! Bill is really struggling with this new rule. Lucky for him, Dave is going to help him quit - with interesting results…

From Season 1, Episode 3 'Smoking' - To get Bill (Phil Hartman) to comply with a new no-smoking ordinance, Dave (Dave Foley) agrees to give up drinking coffee. Lisa (Maura Tierney) worries that Joe (Joe Rogan) saw her and Dave at a movie.

About NewsRadio:
At New York City's WNYX, newly hired manager Dave Nelson has his work cut out for him. Excited about such a high-profile assignment, Dave first sets out to fire his predecessor, which station owner Jimmy James has failed to do. But once that's done, there are more challenges ahead, thanks to a staff that includes headstrong on-air personalities Bill McNeal and Catherine Duke, high-strung writer Matthew Brock, offbeat secretary Beth, imaginative and tech-savvy electrician Joe Garrelli, and Lisa Miller, a veteran producer who thinks she should be running the show. Whether fighting to ban smoking from the newsroom, struggling to allocate staff bonuses during a budget crunch, or dealing with sexual affairs in the workplace, the enthusiastic yet naïve Dave looks to hang on to his old Midwestern values as he learns to cope with the new challenges of big-city life.

I love the bit where when Dave calls attention to Bill's smoking, he apologizes and offers him a 1:08 love it. I knew people that did that unironically in real life, not these days but, I mean in the 90s it wasn't uncommon.

0:52 I love how they use actual radio terminology. I understood every word they said.

Was there ever a role Phil Hartman could not play? He was spot on in every single skit every single role. RIP

"Hey, but Matthew...One of those books is upside-down."
"Mr. James, with all due respect, have you ever read four books at once?"
"Whu...no."
"Then don't tell me how to do it."

What we need here is an anti-whining ordinance!
