I took it the first time and came up Drew Carrey… which is pretty cool. I took it a second time and changed “Are you heavy?” from yes to no (I’m kinda borderline) and it came up Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati! Woo Hoo! Now THAT’S cool! 🆒 ---

> [@](#): > > I’m Carol from the Bob Newhart Show. I think I saw that on Nick at Nite once or twice, but who is Carol? Am I a good witch or a bad witch? Definitely a good witch, **Kyla**. Carol was the secretary who was plain of face but strong of character. Always one of my favorites – not least of which because she probably had the highest quote of "Hi, Bob"s on the show! ---

I’m apparently “Jared from Subway”. Who? **Aesiron** , repeat the following phrases after me: 1. Feck! Arse! Drink! Gurlz! 2. Yes! 3. That would be an ecumenical matter! See? You’re the spitting image of the man. 🙂 ---

I’m Luke Duke. Or, if I answer the one ambigous question I am Neil Fanstone from 24 Essex St. Guess I have to look the second one up. Of course, I wouldn’t mind staying with the first… ---

Woah, decided to screw with the game and guess a non-sitcom character or a non-dictator and ended up with this: > [@](#): > > I win again! You are player number 5to have chosen Mega Man from Mega Man. I knew you were Mega Man from Mega Manfrom the start, but I strung you along for a while to make it seem more sporting. I hope that one day you will overcome the powerful sense of humiliation that you now feel. Until then, good luck. The machines are getting smarter everday. Run for your lives people! ---

I took it as myself, and turned out to be Chandler Bing from Friends - but I don’t know who that is. I’ve never seen the show. I took it again, alternating a couple of answers, and it seems I’m Wesley Crusher from ST:NG. I think I’ll go lay down now… ---

I’m Samantha from Bewitched. That’s cool but truth be told, I’d rather be Eudora. She knew Darren was a goofball, got to wear multicolored chiffon and _she’d_ never clean out the cat box with that little slotted shovel thing. Yeah. Eurdora. ---

I got ‘The Edge from U2’. I don’t mind that, but unless I missed some recent events, this is neither a sitcom character nor a dictator. ---

“Dad,” from _Family Ties_. I’m Michael J. Fox’s dad!! Aaarrgh! Oh, and **koeeoaddi** , I think you mean “Endora.” Eudora is an email program. ---

Yeah, it’s Endora. But who is Gidget? I know she’s the star of a show that is also now on TVLand, but that’s about it. ---

Thanks, I knew that looked off, but was too lazy to check it. I should be turned into a five legged, split tongued, fire eating mud newt. Or forced to live in connubial perpetuity with Derwood.
