(see this users gallery)
Hype ran from October 2000 until February 2001 on The WB.
" We're not celebrities, but we play them on tv." declared the young comics on this sketch comedy series, which in the tradition of Saturday Night Live and Mad TV satirized everything in pop culture-movies, tv series, commercials, sports, rock music, politics, celebrities and the internet. Each episode opened with the fast-paced Hype Report by Shayma Tash followed by imitations of Martha Stewart, Whitney Houston, George W. Bush, a droning Kurt Loder( of MTV) and William Shatner selling whores on priceline.com. President Clinton, unable to see the real Monica Lewinsky anymore, had sex with a poster of her.
The other regulars on this series were Michael Roof, Jennifer Elise Cox, Gavin Crawford, Daniele Gaither, Nadya Ginsburg, Stephen E. Kramer, Christen Nelson, Chris Williams, and Frank Caliendo.
