Bill McNeal from the TV show NewsRadio is ranked #98 on our list of The 100 Greatest Live-Action Sitcom Characters Ever.
Wikipedia: William “Bill” McNeal (Phil Hartman) is a co-news anchor for WNYX. Bombastic, egocentric, and insubordinate, Bill is frequently a thorn in the news director’s side. As news director, Dave and Lisa both struggle to deal with Bill. His relationships are often unorthodox or contentious. A running joke in the show has Bill describing seemingly painful or scarring childhood memories with an air of nostalgia, often wistfully saying, “good times, good times”.
TheDailyContributor.com: NewsRadio was such a great show. Phil Hartman was simply amazing as Bill McNeal who I can only describe as a raving lunatic – and I mean that in the best possible way. With a phenomenal reference to General Patton in season 2, I’m really wondering why Bill McNeal is rated so low on this list…
