Wondering where she is, who she could be with, what she’s thinking, if she’s thinking of you, and whether she’ll ever return one day. Well, maybe she will.

It’s a fact. I have just spent a fruitless 20 minutes trying to find out the name of the “It’s a Fact!” girl. ---

The Queen doesn’t know the alphabet… It’s a fact!! Thanks for this thread… I hadn’t thought of the It’s a Fact girl in years. Of course, the restraining orders probably had something to do with that… ---

Researching the question of the girl’s identity, I came across [snicker] the following – [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids\_In\_The\_Hall:](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_In_The_Hall:) > [@](#): > > Because the show and the actors orginated in Canada, the content was edited slightly for American tastes in one respect: sketches mocking religion were sometimes cut down or removed, necessitating the adding of material from other episodes to round out the half-hour. It’s a fact! But the Wikipedia article, for some reason, does not include a complete cast list. And the “Full Cast and Credits” page of the IMDb entry – [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096626/fullcredits](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096626/fullcredits) – lists only five males as “cast.” What a mystery! ---

Do you think it could be [Erica Lancaster](http://www.starletsdatabase.com/spages/x_0861ARP43.asp?name=Erica%20Lancaster)? She’s 18 here, and would have been 11-12 during the “It’s a fact” period. She also had a part in _Brain Candy_. ---

She’s 18 here, and would have been 11-12 during the “It’s a fact” period. She also had a part in _Brain Candy_. The IMDb entry for her does not mention any _KITH_ TV appearance. [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0484132/](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0484132/) How old was the “It’s a Fact!” girl? I never saw that skit in the few _KITH_ episodes I caught.
