=== Recurring ===
The only [[recurring character]] to appear in more than one production season is that of Jimmy's lawyer, Roger, played initially by [[Norm Macdonald]], and later by ''NewsRadio'' writer [[Drake Sather]], who did a vocal impersonation of Norm Macdonald.

Several other actors appeared in multiple seasons playing different characters, notably Lovitz, [[David Cross]], [[Toby Huss]], [[Brian Posehn]], [[David Anthony Higgins]], [[Dave Allen (actor)|Dave Allen]], [[Wallace Langham]], and [[Bob Odenkirk]].

[[Tone Loc|Tone Lōc]] and [[Toby Huss]] played security guards Lorenzo and Junior in two episodes in season 2. The characters were based on the security guards at the studio where ''NewsRadio'' was shot.<ref>Commentary track for episode "Friends"</ref> During the last season, [[Patrick Warburton]] had a recurring role as Johnny Johnson, Jimmy's nemesis and Lisa's love interest (and eventual husband).

[[Lauren Graham]] had a four-episode run as Andrea, a manipulative [[Business efficiency expert|efficiency expert]] who shakes up the office (firing Matthew, demoting Dave, and promoting Lisa). She is sometimes referred to as "Planbee" after Matthew misunderstands her being Jimmy's "Plan B" for the office. In a season 4 episode commentary track, Tierney gives the hiring of Graham as a possible explanation for Alexander's departure, which contradicts the idea that Alexander intended to leave before Graham appeared on the show (In Dave Foley's appearance on [[The Joe Rogan Experience|Joe Rogan's podcast]], they talked about Alexander leaving because she was not given enough lines). All of the changes introduced during Graham's time on the show would be restored by mid-season to the way things were before her arrival.

[[Brad Rowe (actor)|Brad Rowe]] had a four-episode run as Walt the intern, Jimmy's nephew who has a crush on Lisa, which causes more worry for Dave.
