 I'd always thought, or maybe hoped that it was Jim Knipfel. Back when I read the New York Press, his column was my favorite part of the paper.

I may be wrong but i think that the majority of those clips are all from like the same 3 shows.

A bunch of them are from the "final show," 6/12/05.

Also, the two Jeffrey Loudell clips ("This is Jeffrey Loudell" and "It's a fat, diseased, wild orangutan, isn't it?") are from 3/29/05.

"Hey Tom, it's Mark Michaels" is, I'm pretty sure, the guy from Pizza Aficionado magazine.

Of course this is the old version that mentions he who will not be named.  Let me go and edit him out.  There.

The he-who-must-not-be-named byte was replaced with :

DFK:  Dave from Knoxville.
Tom: Supercaller!

Also, "Ollie Farannockin" is better known as Ali Farahnakian.
