like this the news of Phil Hartman’s
murder reverberating throughout the
American comedy scene you know that
arrangement they had of roses that was
shaped like a broken heart yeah was that
um supposed to be because bill died of a
heart attack no no Matthew that was me I
cited I sat on it in the limo in his
honor his longtime friend Jon Lovitz
stepped in to fill the unfillable void
on the critically acclaimed show Hey on
behalf of all of us at wnyx
well Lovitz never claimed to be able to
live up to Hartman’s bill McNeal but he
hit the right notes as his replacement
max Lewis a complete buffoon with a
personality disorder I’m always up for
something new and exciting and that’s
why they call me can do max Lew yes
however the role only lasted one season
and so whatever the future may bring I’d
like to take the time now to offer my
profoundest thanks to the whole gang

love interest bye sexy businesswoman
Rebecca Howe mrs. Rebecca Howe Sam
Malone Sam
Rebecca half it wasn’t the first time
cheers swamped a major character
Nicholas Colasanto who played the aging
bartender coach passed away between
seasons say hi do you any panto soap his
death was written into the show coach
passed away a couple months ago but yeah
I’d like to think he’s still around and
his job behind the bar was a silly by
the dim-witted and lovable woody I’d
worked like a slave and I wouldn’t take
anything
or the minimum wage and of course both
new characters fit the series like a
glove
and if you ever need someone to just you
know yell at I’m your man
number four Liam McIntyre for Andy
Whitfield Spartacus
this Spartacus has proven himself in the
arena the critically acclaimed Spartacus
was dealt a blow when Andy Whitfield who
played the titular role passed away 18
months after being diagnosed with cancer
keep me close to your thighs to thought
Milan’s pose Liam McIntyre took the
mantle of the Thracian slave and knocked
it out of the park for two seasons as
the score settling gladiator I send a
message to an old friend
while McIntyre’s performance didn’t make
up for Whitfield’s absence he was the
perfect successor to the role we will
stand as one well this is hard but just
like old times huh I’m talking and
you’re in a bottle ignoring me
number three Ashton Kutcher for Charlie
Sheen two and a Half Men Wow right on
love it or hate it this series was made
by Charlie Sheen the alcoholic
Ladykiller with a heart of gold buried
somewhere okay does everybody remember
their assignment uh-huh yeah think so
yeah let’s do this thing
Sheen’s real-life headline-making
meltdown caused Charlie Harper to be
written off the show in explosive
fashion I just want you to know that
Charlie didn’t suffer his body just
exploded like a balloon full of meat
after which his role was filled by
Ashton Kutcher
I ain’t cleaning him up that move kept
the show’s viewership steady despite the
fact that the rest of the cast shifted
around in subsequent seasons come on
you’re doing it all right you’re living
in a beach house in Malibu I have to
sell it
and it’s not even mine it’s his I’m
sorry I made you spill him winning sorry
sweetheart it hasn’t been that long
since we’ve made love has it five months
this to number two Daphne Maxwell Reid
for Janet Hubert Witten The Fresh Prince
of Bel Air now this is a story all about
how a show got flipped turned upside
down when Aunt Viv was replaced without
warning that’s stupid
now take it for whatever meaning you
want both leading ladies have their fans
but it’s hard to deny that the almost
completely unacknowledged shift was bold
you know miss banks since you had that
baby
there’s something different about you in
2013 the original Vivien revealed that
the swap out was contentious she left
due to a salary cut and wasn’t invited
to the reunion but she does hope to make
amends Vivian banks you take this man to
be your lawfully wedded husband with all
my heart

champion of cast shifts doctor who built
its fan base based on the inevitable
replacement of his main character to you
the doctor he is isn’t he he’s a doctor
and every incarnation from The Dandy
third doctor Jon Pertwee comes to the
same thing surely to fan-favorite tenth
david tennant gonna go put a unique spin
on the role for a British television
icon to survive since 1963 is remarkable
but more remarkable is the textured
storytelling and wibbly-wobbly
timey-wimey twists that tie all the
doctors together people assume that time
is a strict progression of cause to
effect but actually from a nonlinear
non-subjective viewpoint it’s more like
a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey
stuff did we miss any of the greatest
replacement characters of all time
