In the NewsRadio episode The Song Remains The Same, Mr. James decides to celebrate April Fool's Day (in February!) by having Joe install the "trigger machines" from YCDTOTV, and then spends the episode tricking the cast into getting slimed and watered at increasingly inopportune times, ruining Catherine's Versace blouse when she gets slimed before going on air, destroying Matthew's computer when he is watered, and angering both Bill and Lisa when they're hit with water and slime at the end of the episode.
I can't believe I never heard of this! I mean... I know the show, I just didn't know they had a WAM themed episode.
9/15/21, 5:56am: gender changed from female to male+female
Lisa (Maura Tierney) isn't hit with water or slime
Based on the rules of the episode, she should have been slimed (she says 'I don't know' in passing at one point)
Being very enamored with Maura Tierney, this was a huge disappointment, only lessened b/c the slime was more 'gak' like which isn't my personal preference, so wouldn't have been great for me anyways
Catherine (Khandi Alexander) isn't slimed, but is watered. the watering of Catherine (Khandi Alexander) isn't that great either. More of an overhead splash than a bucket, and the Versace suit was pretty conservative (especially compared to what she typically wore, even at that point in the series (the outfits became even more revealing as the series went on). Now, while I am a wetlook fan I'm not much into formal wetlook, so I'm not the best judge, but I think even formal fans probably don't consider the scene all that great b/c of the relatively small volume of water used.
Also might add Matthew (Andy Dick) isn't watered either, only slimed
To be clear, the episode has the following
Khandi Alexander - water Andy Dick - slime Phil Hartman - water, then immediately slimed while still wet
You can thank/blame this show for the current omnipresence of Joe Rogan and his minions. (Ex-model Elle, a huge Rogan fan, gets super pissed when she raves about one of his podcasts and I respond with, "You mean the sixth banana on News Radio?")
Funny show tho. Stephen Root is the GOAT. But yeah, the slime episode was terrible from a female WAM perspective.
