The Wrong Coast

Characters

The show's male host, Jameson Burkwright (voiced by Mark Hamill), gets jealous easily when Debbie Sue does things. By the first season's end, he ends up trapped in Hell. Debbie Sue Ashanti-Melendez (voiced by Kathy Greenwood) is the female host, cheerful but occasionally scatterbrained.

Male reporter Ti Hua Foo (voiced by Marc Thompson) always attends celebrity events and interviews; by the season finale, he becomes a talking guinea pig. Julie Wyvern (voiced by Tracy Nicole Chapman), the female reporter, nurses a bitter feud with Debbie Sue and takes over as co-host. Mack (voiced by A. D. Miles), the producer, remains faceless until the last episode, which reveals he has no face at all.
