In case you missed it, Nicole Sullivan guest starred in last week's episode of Monk (this was the season three season finale, "Mr. Monk And The Kid"). She played "Janet Novak" in this episode. I will have clips of this episode very soon. (Added March 6, 2005)

I just added a video clip of episode 2 of Clone High. (Added August 8, 2004)

Nicole Sullivan will appear on Hollywood Squares during the week of August 1st (August 2 through 6 in most markets). Check your listings for local air time/date. (Added July 25, 2004)

Since many of the postings on the message board have been (a) ads for Viagra, (b) ads for pornography, (c) obscene, or (d) stupid, I have no alternative but to establish a new message board, one which requires registration. Here is the URL of the new message board. (Added July 25, 2004)

I have added a video clip of episode one of Clone High. Nicole Sullivan provides the voice of Joan of Arc. I compressed the video and made the picture smaller, so it's not the highest quality video, but if you want higher resolution on the video, I'm sure it's probably available somewhere on the Internet. (Added July 25, 2004)

According to The Futon Critic, the latest Nicole Sullivan pilot, We Are Family, is "below the radar" at ABC; therefore, there is not much of a chance it will be picked up for the fall, but apparently, a final decision has not yet been made. (Added June 13, 2004)

I added a video clip of the season six finale for The King Of Queens. Nicole Sullivan was heavily featured in this episode. (Added June 13, 2004)

Production has begun on a pilot for a new show called We Are Family, a sitcom about a man (Tom Everett Scott) and his estranged father, both of whom have babies at the same time. Nicole Sullivan and Missi Pyle round out the cast. Thanks to an astute Nicole Sullivan fan for drawing my attention to this. (Added March 22, 2004)

I have posted a video clip of Nicole Sullivan's recent appearance on The Sharon Osbourne Show. Be warned, though: the show is quite awful. (Added March 8, 2004)

As you can probably tell by the updated schedule, March 2 is a day for wall-to-wall Nicole Sullivan. First we get her guest appearance on The Sharon Osbourne Show - a show that's spiraling towards cancellation, to be sure, but it should be interesting nonetheless. Then we get a rebroadcast of Bar Hopping on Showtime (if you've never seen it before, try to catch it, but be warned: it's quite awful). Moving right along, she's on Crank Yankers at 10:30 PM on Comedy Central. In between, we get reruns of her appearances on Mad TV, not to mention King Of Queens in certain cities. Get your VCRs (or TiVos or DVD recorders) ready. (Added February 29, 2004)

I added two new video clips from one of Nicole Sullivan's May 2003 appearances on Hollywood Squares ( clip 1 clip 2); once again, I thank HiVolt and the good people at Planet MadTV for making this footage available. (Added July 6, 2003)

I added another video clip from The King Of Queens. This one is from last Monday's rerun, "Animal Attraction." (Added June 19, 2003)

I added a page to this website documenting Nicole Sullivan's May 2003 appearances on Hollywood Squares. I also have two video clips from these shows, courtesy of HiVolt, one of the webmasters at Planet MadTV ( clip 1 clip 2). (Added May 31, 2003)

In case you haven't heard, CBS recently unveiled its schedule for the 2003-04 season, and Nicole Sullivan's latest pilot was nowhere to be found. Therefore, it doesn't look like CBS will exercise its option on this project. (Added May 25, 2003)

I added a page to this website documenting Nicole Sullivan's recent guest appearance on Mad TV. I also added a clip of this appearance. (Added May 25, 2003)

Baby Blues is apparently back on The Cartoon Network as part of their "Adult Swim" lineup. The first episode airs April 28 at 1:30 AM. Nicole Sullivan was the voice of "Bizzy" on this short-lived WB cartoon. (Added April 17, 2003)

According to the official Clone High website, Clone High will eventually return to MTV. "Episodes 9-13 will still be aired in the coming months." An online petition in support of the show has been started. (Added April 9, 2003)

Nicole Sullivan's newest pilot will be taping soon. The pilot, which is apparently a King Of Queens spinoff, will be taping at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA on Tuesday, April 15 at 7:00 PM. The still untitled show will also feature Kate Walsh (probably best known as "Nikki Fifer" from The Drew Carey Show), Eddie McClintock, Thomas Ian Nicholas, and John Ducey (formerly of Oh Grow Up). Tickets can be ordered from the Audiences Unlimited website. Anyone who plans to attend the taping of this pilot and is willing to write a review for this website should email me. You will be duly credited. (Added April 8, 2003)

This is probably old news to some of you by now, but as of March 10, 2003, MTV has put Clone High on hiatus. No news on whether or not the show will return to MTV's schedule. There remain five episodes from the show's first season which were unaired by MTV. (Added April 4, 2003)

I added another clip from King Of Queens. This one is from Monday's episode. (Added April 2, 2003)

I added a clip of Nicole Sullivan's appearance on Less Than Perfect to this site. (Added March 25, 2003)

I added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's appearance on Less Than Perfect. She appeared on the show on February 11. (Added March 5, 2003)

January 31 marks the five-year anniversary of this website, and I want to thank everyone who has helped make this website a success. Our current Alexa ranking is 959,677 - not great, but not bad for a site with no budget that relies entirely on word-of-mouth. This well-deserved shout-out goes to the fans. I also offer special thanks to those fans, classmates and friends who took time out to e-mail me. (Added January 30, 2003)

I added another clip from King Of Queens. This one's from October 2002. (Added January 29, 2003)

I've added a page covering Nicole Sullivan's work on Clone High (Nicole Sullivan is the voice of Joan of Arc). First up: a review of the first episode. (Added January 22, 2003)

An online petition has been formed to get Mad TV released on DVD. If you want Mad TV to be released on DVD and you think this will help, check it out. If you don't want it released on DVD or don't care, but still have some level of curiosity about it, check it out anyway. (Added January 17, 2003)

Every so often a fan-based website emerges that is leaps and bounds ahead of anything offered on "official" TV show websites. Over the last few months, I stumbled onto The Mad TV Forum and it seems to be emerging as one of the premier Mad TV fan forums. [The only comparable forum that comes to mind is the Usenet newsgroup alt.tv.mad-tv and it doesn't have separate message boards.] Nicole Sullivan is no longer in the cast, but the discussions often cover ex-cast members (including Nicole Sullivan). (Added January 17, 2003)

I added another movie clip. This one is from a short-lived TV series on which Nicole Sullivan had a supporting role called Talk To Me (more info). This clip is from the beginning of the first episode. (Added January 14, 2003)

Clone High, a new animated series, is set to premiere on January 20th on MTV at 10:30 PM EST. Nicole Sullivan provides the voice of Joan Of Arc. The episode will rerun several times during the week. See "Upcoming Nicole Sullivan TV Appearances At A Glance" on this page for further information. (Added January 14, 2003)

I added yet another Nicole Sullivan clip from King Of Queens. This time it's from the episode which originally aired on October 7, 2002. (Added January 10, 2003)

Shark bite (from jumptheshark.com): King Of Queens jumped the shark "[w]hen gorgeous Nicole Sullivan (Dog [sic] walking girl) developed a crush on Deacon (as IF!)." (Added December 25, 2002)

I recently updated my King Of Queens page with information about the shows and two new video clips (clip1 clip2) (Added December 25, 2002)

The following news was reported in Variety recently: CBS may give Nicole Sullivan her own King Of Queens her own spinoff. The new series would have her marrying a man with three brothers who quickly become part of her extended family. Susan Dickes (Just Shoot Me) will write the pilot, with Sullivan set to star and produce. The project is under consideration for fall 2003. Also check out an interview with Ms. Sullivan posted on knoxnews.com in October 2002. (Added December 25, 2002)

This website continues to grow. I just added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's work on the animated series Kim Possible. There isn't much information there yet, but it's a work-in-progress. (Added November 24, 2002)

This isn't really a Nicole Sullivan update, but I was looking through the TV Guide listings and if you need further proof that The King Of Queens takes place in a alternate-universe New York City, we get the following listing for the November 18th show: Carrie wins four tickets to several Knicks games [1-6 as of this writing], but she and Doug disagree over which couple to take along with them. [Maybe it's not such a reach, though, because the Knicks are still a better draw than the Nets.] (Added November 12, 2002)

Apparently Kim Possible is now part of ABC's Saturday morning lineup. The first episode, to be aired on November 9, 2002, is "Kim Possible Bueno Nacho," an episode that already appeared on The Disney Channel. Nicole Sullivan is the voice of Sheego in this animated series. (Added November 5, 2002)

Nicole Sullivan will be appearing on Hollywood Squares (again) the week of November 10 (in most markets, these episodes will air November 11-15). The official Hollywood Squares website even has a mini bio of Ms. Sullivan. While it doesn't mention anything that would be particularly edifying to most Nicole Sullivan fans, it's worth a look. (Added November 5, 2002)

I posted a brief synopsis on Nicole Sullivan's recent appearance on (the new) Hollywood Squares. I also posted two brief video clips from two different shows: clip 1 clip 2 (Added September 21, 2002)

According to TV Guide, the new animated series Clone High will debut on October 16, 2002 on MTV. Nicole Sullivan provides the voice of Joan of Arc. (added September 21, 2002)

Nicole Sullivan will be appearing as a panelist on the new Hollywood Squares (the Henry Winkler-produced version) during the week of September 15th (the episodes air September 16-20 in most markets). Also, don't forget to watch Nicole Sullivan in the season premiere of The King of Queens on September 23, 2002 (she is now a series regular). (Added September 15, 2002)

I posted a brief synopsis of Nicole Sullivan's July 2001 appearances on Hollywood Squares (along with two brief video clips: clip 1 clip 2). (Added September 8, 2002)

As you may have already known, Nicole Sullivan has joined the cast of King of Queens as a series regular. You can read all about it at zap2it.com. (Added August 29, 2002)

I recently screened Bar Hopping, a direct-to-cable film in which Nicole Sullivan starred. A review of the film has been added to this website. (Added June 20, 2002)

I have begun compiling a FAQ about this website. I will be adding more in the days and weeks ahead, but hopefully this first draft will clarify a few issues. (Added June 10, 2002)

ABC announced its fall schedule today, and apparently Dexter Prep, a sitcom pilot in which Nicole Sullivan had a supporting role, is not on the fall schedule. No news on whether the original pilot will air or whether the show will appear at a later date. (Added May 14, 2002)

Yesterday was Nicole Sullivan's birthday, so on behalf of this web site, happy birthday Nicole Sullivan. Many happy returns. (Added April 22, 2002)

Today (January 31) marks the four-year anniversary of The Unofficial Nicole Sullivan Tribute Page. I couldn't find the original Usenet announcement I made when I first put the site online, but I found (in the Google archive) an early posting predating the birth of the website (when I was still compiling information for the site - I still haven't finished). Here's another early plug for the site, again from alt.tv.mad-tv. And here's a brief chronology of significant dates in the history of this website:

(Added January 31, 2002)

Nicole Sullivan has been cast in Clone High, a new MTV animated series about a group of high school students who are cloned with the DNA of historical personages like Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Ghandhi. Nicole Sullivan will provide the voice of Joan of Arc. (Added January 24, 2002)

Nicole Sullivan will be providing the voice of one of the characters in an upcoming Disney animated series called Kim Possible. She will provide the voice of the evil Sheego in the series, which is set to premiere on the Disney Channel in June 2002. (Added January 15, 2002)

News of the world: The first site update in a while, including a brand-new page documenting Nicole Sullivan's guest appearances on The King Of Queens. Her second appearance as Holly, by the way, will be rerun on New Year's Eve. I have also updated the pictures page and the filmography. It also appears that The Cartoon Network has started to re-broadcast episodes of Baby Blues, the animated series in which Nicole Sullivan provided the voice of Bizzy, the teenage babysitter. Presumably this run will include the second season of Baby Blues, which was never aired by the WB. The first episode airs on January 6, 2002 at 10:30 PM EST. (Added December 31, 2001)

I found out that apparently Webjump no longer exists, so all the links to movie and sound clips on Webjump are broken. I uploaded all the clips to this site and updated the links. (Added October 10, 2001)

I updated the "Upcoming Nicole Sullivan Television Appearance at a Glance" section of this page. The King of Queens episode in which Nicole Sullivan's recurring character is introduced was to air on September 17th, but has been rescheduled for September 24th. (Added September 16, 2001)

Last Thursday marked another milestone in Nicole Sullivan's career. I was watching Mad TV on TNN. When the show broke for a commercial, I channel-surfed - to VH1, which was airing a rerun of the made-for-TV movie The Way She Moves, in which Nicole Sullivan has a supporting role. As far as I know, this marks the first time in which Nicole Sullivan appeared simultaneously on two channels (although both programs were reruns). As someone who started this website in the days when one had to scour the listings for Nicole Sullivan television appearances other than Mad TV (I was elated when every now and then I came across one of her guest appearances on such shows as Party of Five or Diagnosis Murder), I fully appreciate the significance of this (albeit minor) milestone. (Added September 1, 2001)

The WB recently confirmed its decision to shelf the entire thirteen-episode second season of Baby Blues, in addition to six unaired episodes from the first season - even though all nineteen episodes of the series have been produced and paid for, at a cost of more than $15 million. The show generated decent ratings during its brief run in the summer of 2000, and the WB ordered an additional thirteen episodes, looking for backup programming in the event of a writers' strike. But the writers' strike failed, and when other attempts at launching animated series failed, Baby Blues became an orphan which no longer fit into the network's strategic plans. You can read about it at zap2it.com. (Added September 1, 2001)

I have made some additions to this web site, including a new page devoted to Nicole Sullivan's August 3rd appearance on The Tonight Show. It should also be noted that Mad TV is now in reruns on TNN (The National Network). Half-hour episodes air at 7:00 PM, and 7:30 PM. The half-hour episodes are edited highlights of the original one-hour shows. The repeats also air in unedited format on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 PM. The network is currently in the middle of season one reruns, so here's your chance. See Orlando Jones before he was the 7-Up pitchman! See Artie Lange before he was Norm McDonald's sidekick! See Nicole Sullivan before...well, see Nicole Sullivan! (Added August 11, 2001)

Nicole Sullivan appeared on The Tonight Show on August 3, 2001. She discussed, inter alia, the fact that she is returning to Mad TV for a seventh season - contrary to what has been reported on this website regarding her future with the show - but in a "part time" capacity (presumably as a recurring guest). She also discussed her future projects, including a role on King of Queens and a new VH1 movie to air later this month. More information on this appearance will be posted soon. (Added August 5, 2001)

Nicole Sullivan will be a guest on The Tonight Show tonight. The program airs at approximately 11:30 PM EDT on most NBC affiliates. Apologies for not tracking this down earlier; the web site did not provide much advance notice. (Added August 3, 2001)

The cast lineup for season seven of Mad TV has been announced, and, as expected, Nicole Sullivan is no longer in the cast. The season seven cast is: Alex Borstein, Mo Collins, Andrew Daly, Taran Killam, Bobby Lee, Michael McDonald, Will Sasso, Aries Spears, Stephanie Weir and Debra Wilson. (Added July 24, 2001)

According to The Futon Critic, the WB has parted ways with all its animated fare. Presumably, this includes Baby Blues, even though several new episodes were ordered. Therefore, Baby Blues has effectively been cancelled, in spite of a strong showing in a late summer run on the WB last year (and in spite of an initial statement from the WB stating that the show would be back for a second season). No information to confirm the show's cancellation could be found on the official Baby Blues website. (Added June 25, 2001)

Me and My Needs is listed on the zap2it.com website as "not picked up" for ABC's fall season (the e-zine also gave the show the dubious distinction of having the best title). Whether or not this means there is no possibility of the show surfacing as a midseason replacement (or in a future season) is unclear. (Added June 3, 2001)

I have screened the episode of The Test in which Nicole Sullivan appeared; more information can be found on my Nicole Sullivan on The Test page. (Added June 3, 2001)

Me and My Needs is not on ABC's fall schedule for the 2001-02 season (the pilot was filmed last March and ABC may or may not decide to turn it into a regular series); nonetheless, it appears all but certain that Nicole Sullivan will be leaving Mad TV at the end of the current season. (Added May 14, 2001)

Avid fans of this website may have noticed that this site has not been updated in a few days; I have been blocked from FTP-ing to this site while the company which provides webhosting for nic0lesullivan.org moved everything to a new server. As of today, I have posted a review of last Saturday's episode and I also fixed the message board. I also screened Nicole Sullivan's May 2nd appearance on the FX show Test and will have more information on this appearance soon. As the major networks prepare to announce their fall schedules, it's beginning to look like Nicole Sullivan won't be back for a seventh season of Mad TV, although it's still not clear whether Me and My Needs is on ABC's fall schedule (it is scheduled to be announced on May 15th). (Added May 8, 2001)

Nicole Sullivan will be appearing on the talk show Test on FX on May 2, 2001. Air time is 11:00 PM EDT. (Added April 30, 2001)

If anyone has The Movie Channel and wants to tape Bar Hopping for me, please e-mail me to negotiate a trade. (Added April 10, 2001)

I have finally added a message board to this web site. This is one of the Internet's first forum devoted exclusively to Nicole Sullivan. Known bug: for some reason, replies to previous postings show up in Netscape Navigator, but not Microsoft Internet Explorer.(Added March 24, 2001)

If anyone plans to attend the taping of the pilot for Me and My Needs and wants to write a review for this website, please e-mail me. (Added February 25, 2001)

Is Nicole Sullivan leaving Mad TV at the end of season six? That is the claim made in a recent article on the Los Angeles Times website, which states that Ms. Sullivan plans to leave the show at the current season's end for her own ABC sitcom, Me and My Needs. However, rumors about Nicole Sullivan leaving Mad TV are nothing new, and this Nicole Sullivan fan remains skeptical as to whether or not this latest bit of "news" is any better a harbinger of the future than the Lotto numbers placed inside fortune cookies or the Psychic Hotline. A previous article published in the Calgary Sun claimed that Nicole Sullivan was leaving the show at the end of season five (this turned out to be completely untrue), and it even quoted her as saying that she missed being on the show. Another reason to question the verisimilitude of this claim is the fact that it is not clear at this time that ABC has committed to anything more than taping a pilot for Me and My Needs. Even assuming that ABC has already committed to putting this show on its fall schedule, given the low success rate of new shows (only about twenty-five percent of new shows last more than one season), it would seem out of character for her to leave the security of her steady Mad TV gig for the uncertainty of trying to launch a new hit show. Still, I could be wrong and the Los Angeles Times could be right. I'll believe it when I see it. (Added February 25, 2001)

Nicole Sullivan has (again) been singled out for accolades in TV Guide. The February 10, 2001 (U.S.) edition of the magazine features an article called "TV MVPs." Page 25 features a list of "Super Troupers" - actors and actresses on shows with ensemble casts who have come to the forefront "with nuance and invention." The article contains the following blurb on Nicole Sullivan: "She's the Vancome Lady, a mean makeup saleswoman, and Antonia, a catatonic fast-food worker. The comic force behind these wacky originals, Nicole Sullivan, 30, can also spoof teen pop singer Britney Spears. 'Nicole has incredible range,' says Mad TV executive producer Dick Blasucci. 'She's not afraid to do anything.'" (Added February 6, 2001)

I finally screened the Suddenly Susan episode in which Nicole Sullivan guest starred (OAD 11-1-1999) and have added a Nicole Sullivan on Suddenly Susan page to this web site. (Added February 3, 2001)

This site will not be accessible from 9:00 PM EST on January 30th to 2:00 AM EST on January 31st due to a server upgrade. (Added January 30, 2001)

A date, time and place have finally been announced for the taping of the pilot of the Nicole Sullivan sitcom Me and My Needs. The pilot will be taped on Friday, March 2, 2001 at 7:00 PM (PST) at the CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles. For more information (and to order tickets for the show), go to the Audiences Unlimited website. (Added January 28, 2001)

Nicole Sullivan was mentioned (albeit briefly) in the January 20th issue of TV Guide (the one with the cast of Survivor 2 on the cover). The magazine's "Cheers and Jeers" section speaks favorably of a parody of the NBC show Ed which appeared in a recent episode of Mad TV. In this parody, Michael McDonald played "Ed" and Nicole Sullivan played the woman that is the object of Ed's affection ("...played by the reliably terrific Nicole Sullivan...") Such a favorable mention of her portrayal is noteworthy, although it was diminished somewhat by the praise that was lavished on McDonald. (Added January 18, 2001)

Nicole Sullivan will appear on Talk Soup on January 16, 2001 on E!. Air times for this show are 7:30 PM, 1:00 AM (early morning January 17th) and 7:30 AM (also January 17th). This will mark her seventh appearance as guest host. (Added Janaury 14, 2001)

Nicole Sullivan appeared on Talk Soup as a guest host on December 22, 2000. Apologies for the lack of notice but not only was there no advance notice of this on the E! website, but the show now airs at 7:30 PM; my cable provider doesn't switch over to E! until 8:00 PM. For those of you that see this in time, however, you can watch it on Saturday morning (December 23rd) at 7:30 AM. (Added December 22, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan will appear on VH1's The List on Friday, December 15 at 12:30 PM EST. (Added December 11, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan will appear on the Billboard Music Awards on December 5, 2000 at 8:00 PM EST on Fox. I have also added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's appearance on Titus. Also the filmography (TV only) has been updated for the first time in about 3 months. (Added December 3, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan will host Talk Soup on November 20, 2000 (apologies for the short notice). The show airs at 8:00 PM EST on E!. For a more complete listing of upcoming Nicole Sullivan TV appearances, see "Upcoming Nicole Sullivan TV Appearances at a Glance" on the left side of this page. (Added November 20, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan is slated to star in a new sitcom being developed by Touchstone Television for ABC for the 2001-02 season. The show is called Me and My Needs and will star Ms. Sullivan as a neurotic thirtysomething woman in New York. Shooting is scheduled to begin in January. (Added November 15, 2000)

As you may have noticed, this web site has not been updated in almost a month (this update is the first since early October). While I regret any inconvenience this may have caused to anyone who relies on this site, it is entirely the fault of the company on which I rely for web hosting capabilities. Not only did the company in question fail to resolve the technical problem (which I resolved myself), but my repeated e-mails requesting that the problem be resolved were ignored. I have taken measures to ensure that this will not happen again by switching to another web hosting company. (Added November 5, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan appeared as guest host (for the fifth time) on Monday, October 9, 2000. Unfortunately, E! didn't bother to update the Talk Soup listings in advance (I checked their web site only twenty minutes before the show aired, and the Talk Soup page still listed the guest hosts from last week); moreover, I was unable to update this web site with this information due to technical problems. I did tape the show, however, and will probably post more information about this program (once I have screened it) in the near future. (Added October 11, 2000)

According to the advance TV listings, the new Buzz Lightyear cartoon makes its network debut on ABC on October 7th at 7:30 AM EDT. (Added September 25, 2000)

The new Buzz Lightyear cartoon premieres in early October, apparently. According to the listings for the New York metropolitan area, the show debuts on WWOR (channel 9) at 8:30 AM on October 2, 2000. Check local listings for station and air time. (Added September 22, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan is currently listed as a Politically Incorrect panelist for Friday's show. (Added September 20, 2000)

In case you missed it, Nicole Sullivan was not on Politically Incorrect on September 19th, in spite of information I have received from various sources to the contrary. [She was listed as a panelist in the ClickTV listings.] (Added September 19, 2000)

I have undertaken the rather arduous task of watching the September 2nd episode of The Cindy Margolis Show so that I could write a summary of it for this web site. The results can be found at my Nicole Sullivan on The Cindy Margolis Show web page. (Added September 10, 2000)

In case you haven't heard yet, the season premiere of Mad TV (in the U.S., at least) is October 7, 2000. Word has it that Nicole Sullivan is still a cast member, although I haven't gotten any reports confirming her appearance on the set of the show. (Added September 6, 2000)

The Britney Spears video parody is now available in its entirety (the parody of the video, not the whole segment). The clip is in Quicktime 4.0 format and is available here. (Added September 6, 2000)

The WB has announced its fall schedule, and Baby Blues is not on it. More information can be found at the WB's official website. (Added August 29, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan hosted Talk Soup again on August 24th. Many apologies for not finding out about this in advance. (Added August 25, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan was featured in The WB Questionnaire (apparently, every week a WB celebrity answers a series of questions; this particular installment featured Ms. Sullivan). (Added August 12, 2000)

I have added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's recent appearance on The Late Late Show (hosted by Craig Kilborn). (Added August 6, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan will appear as one of the guests on the Late Late Show (hosted by Craig Kilborn) on July 31, 2000 (late night Monday/ early morning Tuesday). This is not in the TV listings for Monday's show, but I am fairly certain she is slated for an appearance on the show. (Nevertheless, there could be last minute changes.) The Late Show airs at 12:35 AM EDT on most CBS affiliates. (Added July 30, 2000)

I have added a page devoted to Nicole Sullivan's newest project, the animated WB series Baby Blues. It's been updated with ratings information for the first two episodes. (Added July 30, 2000)

I have added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's recent appearance on The Tonight Show. (Added July 22, 2000)

The recent Tonight Show episode in which Nicole Sullivan appeared will be rebroadcast on WNBC (channel 4), New York City's NBC affiliate on July 19th (Tuesday night/Wednesday morning) at 2:05 AM. I have no idea whether this will air on other affiliates. Ms. Sullivan appeared for a second time as the host of E's Talk Soup last night and I will add a page documenting this appearance relatively soon. (Added July 18, 2000)

Is Nicole Sullivan leaving Mad TV? That seems to be the gist of this article from the Calgary Sun which appeared in May. [The title of the article is "She's All Talk... but Nicole Sullivan misses being Mad."] It's been said that you shouldn't believe everything you read, and for that reason I will not assume that this is conclusive proof that Ms. Sullivan is leaving Mad TV. As far as I know, however, this article represents the first news from a credible source asserting that Ms. Sullivan is leaving the show. In all fairness to the Calgary Sun and Mr. McLeod, however, the article also claims that Talk To Me would return to ABC's schedule after May sweeps, which did not happen. Moreover, by claiming that Sullivan would leave Mad TV after five seasons (the article also quotes Sullivan saying that the production company and Fox let her out of the contract early), the article directly contradicts an earlier article printed in the Schenectady Gazette in which Ms. Sullivan claimed that she wouldn't leave Mad TV unless Talk To Me was a hit (it wasn't). [Perhaps she changed her mind in the interim?] I wouldn't be entirely surprised if she left the show - five years is a long time for any job - but I find it a little hard to believe, especially since she has been introduced on all her recent TV appearances as "Nicole Sullivan of Mad TV." Stay tuned for more information... the one thing that's almost certain is that we haven't seen the last of Nicole Sullivan. (Added July 16, 2000)

Another upcoming Nicole Sullivan TV voice-over: Nicole Sullivan will be one of the guest voices on the July 18th episode of The Family Guy, the Fox animated series currently airing on Tuesdays. The episode airs at 9:00 PM EDT/8:00 PM CDT on most Fox affiliates. (Added July 7, 2000)

The following was reported by Daily Variety on June 28, 2000: the animated version of Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman's Baby Blues has finally been announced on the WB's schedule. The frog-net plans to premiere the half-hour comedy on Friday, July 28 at 8:00 PM with a second episode following immediately at 8:30 PM. The net plans to air all eight episodes during a four week summer run, with double-headers every Friday night. The show has apparently been on WB's agenda for almost five years and has been held back several times. (Added July 6, 2000)

I recently came across an interesting article on beer.com entitled "Why 'breaking out' is bad to do." The article's author (Scott Huler) suggests that Nicole Sullivan should having pretensions towards being more than just a sketch comic; he cites her roles on Talk to Me and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit as evidence that "[i]f you break out, you get to stop doing what you're great at and start doing something lousy" [he conveniently ignores the countless number of actors and actresses who initially were introduced to a mass audience via sketch comedy shows but who since then have moved on to bigger and better things]. Also it seems somewhat incongruous that someone who claims to have been "watching the career Nicole Sullivan" would conclude his article with "[b]efore she was on 'Mad TV.' she briefly played Drew Carey's wife." Most people who have been watching the career of Nicole Sullivan would know that The Drew Carey Show episode in question aired in February 1997; at the time Nicole Sullivan had been a cast member of Mad TV for about a year and a half. [In fact, the pilot episode of Drew Carey aired only a few weeks before the pilot episode of Mad TV.] But whether or not you agree with the author's analysis, this article should provide some food for thought. (Added July 4, 2000)

Apart from the Tonight Show appearance, there are two other upcoming Nicole Sullivan television appearances: (1) a rerun of "Private Lives," the Party of Five episode in which Nicole Sullivan appeared in 1994 (July 4, 2000 at 1:30 AM EDT on Lifetime), and (2) a rerun of "The Pajama Game," the second of two appearances she made as "Debbie" on Fired Up (July 10, 2000 at 8:00 AM EDT on the USA Network - note the time slot change). (Added June 30, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan will appear on The Tonight Show (hosted by Jay Leno) on July 11, 2000. The first guest will be Richard Simmons and the musical guest will be Billy Gilman. This will be her first appearance on the show in almost two years. Check local listings for air time (in New York City, the show will air at 11:35 PM EDT on WNBC channel 4). (Added June 28, 2000)

I have added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's recent appearance on Politically Incorrect. (Added June 26, 2000)

Upcoming Nicole Sullivan television appearance: Nicole Sullivan will appear on Fired Up, now airing in reruns on the USA Network at 10:30 AM EDT on June 28, 2000. [Episode 207, "The Baby-Sitter's Club"] (Added June 21, 2000)

I have added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's theater appearances. (Added June 12, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan apparently appeared on Poliically Incorrect on June 6, 2000 (actually, early morning June 7). Many apologies for not catching this one. Also thanks to the several persons who e-mailed me with this information (your efforts were ineffectual only becuase I went to bed before the messages were sent; I am writing this at 4:30 AM local time). I will have more information on this latest Nicole Sullivan television appearance in the near future. I will also have information on Nicole Sullivan's appearance on the May 19, 2000 installment of The Edge with Paula Zahn (she appeared along with Michael McDonald and Mo Collins) very soon. (Added June 7, 2000)

I finally added a search engine to this site. Now, the entire site (including the review archive) can be search via the form at the bottom of this page. It's a bit slow, but it should make life somewhat easier. (Added June 3, 2000)

Sadly, Cece the cat has died. He was killed by a coyote while Ms. Sullivan was in England. (Many apologies for the lateness of this update.) You can read all about it in this article from the Schenectady Gazette (the article originally appeared in the April 11, 2000 edition). (Added May 25, 2000)

Another upcoming Nicole Sullivan TV appearance: the USA Network will rerun "The Baby-Sitter's Club," the first of two Fired Up episodes in which Nicole Sullivan appeared, on May 23, 2000 at 10:30 AM EDT. (Added May 16, 2000)

Also note that Baby Blues is scheduled to debut on the WB this summer. Nicole Sullivan provides the voice of Bizzy, the MacPherson's airheaded baby-sitter. One episode teams her up with a boyfriend voiced by Dan Cortese (Veronica's Closet). Other voices will be provided by Phil LaMarr, Drew Carey, Steven Weber, E.G. Daily and Diedrich Bader amongst others. The show has been described to me by one of the production assistants as "a more cerebral, less vulgar version of The Simpsons." I will post more information on this show as it becomes available. (Added May 16, 2000)

I've added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's recent appearance on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit to this site, complete with a video clip. (Added May 11, 2000)

Finally, I added some more material to this site! Specifically, I added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's April 26th appearance on The Late Show and a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's August 2, 1999 appearance on The Late Late Show (and it's about time, too). (Added May 7, 2000)

By now, you've probably heard that Nicole Sullivan apppeared on a recent (OAD: April 28, 2000) episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (the Law and Order spinoff series) as a rape victim on a subway. This episode will be rerun on the USA Network on Sunday, May 7 at 11:00 PM EDT. (Added May 4, 2000)

Talk to Me has been pulled from ABC's schedule, but according to Variety, the last two episodes may air during the summer. See this article for further details. (Added May 2, 2000)

Yet another update: apparently, the Talk to Me episode listed in TV Guide for May 2nd will not air after all; instead, a rerun of The Drew Carey Show will air in its place. (Added May 1, 2000)

By now, you may have heard that Talk to Me has been pulled from the ABC lineup in favor of Sports Night. The last episode of Talk to Me will be broadcast on Tuesday, May 2, 2000; thus, four of the five episodes produced will have been aired. ABC will air a two-episode season finale of Sports Night in place of Talk to Me on May 9 and May 16 (only one episode of Talk To Me will air during May sweeps). Although ABC has not yet made an official announcement on the future of Talk to Me, it seems highly unlikely that the show will be on ABC's fall schedule. (Added April 28, 2000)

I (finally) have added a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's November 1998 appearance on World's Greatest Magic V. You can find out more about this appearance on my Nicole Sullivan on World's Greatest Magic page. (Added April 22, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan will appear on The Late Show (with David Letterman) on Wednesday, April 26, 2000. The first guest will be Dennis Quaid; the musical guest is The Smashing Pumpkins. The program airs after the local news on most CBS affiliates (11:30 PM/10:30 PM Central); in New York City, it airs at 11:35 PM on channel 2. (Added April 21, 2000)

Talk to Me slipped in its second outing (April 18th) to a 7.1 rating with an 11 share, finishing third in its time slot behind NBC's Just Shoot Me and CBS's 60 Minutes II. More information on Tuesday's ratings can be found at the UltimateTV web site and my Talk to Me web page. (Added April 19, 2000)

Here's a listing of some upcoming Nicole Sullivan TV appearances:

  • Mad TV, Saturdays at 11 PM Eastern/10 PM Central on Fox
  • Talk to Me, Tuesdays at 9:30 PM Eastern/8:30 PM Central on ABC
  • On The Drew Carey Show, April 23 at 6:30 PM on WNYW channel 5 (check local listings for air time in other cities) - a re-airing of "Drew Gets Married"
  • On Fired Up, April 25 at 10:30 AM Eastern/9:30 AM Central on USA Network - a re-airing of "The Pajama Game"

This is not necessarily an exhaustive list, and if you know of any other Nicole Sullivan TV appearances, please send e-mail to Number Six. (Added April 15, 2000)

When I started reading the largely negative reviews for Talk to Me, I didn't expect it to do too well. But when the dust settled, the series premiere of this Kyra Sedgwick/Nicole Sullivan vehicle scored an impressive 9.2 rating with a 14 share, decisively finishing first in the time slot (CBS's 60 Minutes II finished second, with an 8.5 rating and a 13 share). This is a notable improvement over the show's predecessor, Sports Night (last week, 7.9/12). I agree with most of the critics that the pilot episode of Talk to Me was not very good (although there is little doubt that Nicole Sullivan is the best thing the show has going for it), and the show's success had a lot to do with it's strong lead-ins (Dharma and Greg aired at 9:00 PM, and the seemingly invincible Millionaire aired at 8:00 PM). Nonetheless, this early ratings success can only be a positive sign for both the show and Ms. Sullivan. More information about the April 11th ratings can be found at the UltimateTV web site. (Added April 12, 2000)

I have added a page to this web site devoted to Ms. Sullivan's latest sitcom project, Talk to Me. There isn't much there yet, but I will add to it as the season progresses; if I can get access to ratings data for the show, I'll post that, too. (Added April 8, 2000)

The ABC website has added a section devoted to Nicole Sullivan's new side project, Talk to Me. Ms. Sullivan plays Kat, sister and housemate of the show's main character, Janey Munro (Kyra Sedgwick). If memory serves, Kat is a social worker. There is also a short biographical blurb which contains nothing of interest to the die-hard Nicole Sullivan fan, who would already know that she has appeared on such shows as Mad TV, The Drew Carey Show and Party of Five. (Added April 6, 2000)

Talk to Me, a new ABC sitcom starring Kyra Sedgwick and featuring Nicole Sullivan, will premiere on April 11 at 9:30 PM EDT. The first episode is "About Taking it Like a Man" and also features guest star Gene Simmons. Also, USA Network will repeat "The Baby Sitter's Club," a Fired Up episode in which Nicole Sullivan guest starred, on April 13 at 10:30 AM EDT. (Added April 4, 2000)

I finally got around to adding a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's role on Pepper Ann (along with a sound clip). I still have to add documentation on her World's Greatest Magic appearance and an appearance on Craig Kilborn from last August that I missed...but it's a start. (Added March 31, 2000)

In case you missed it, the World's Greatest Magic special in which Nicole Sullivan appeared was rebroadcast on the Fox Family Channel on March 20, 2000. Ms. Sullivan appeared in two segments with magician Mac King (he shows her how to turn a fork into a knife). I will make a page documenting her appearance on this show...as soon as I get around to it. (Added March 21, 2000)

Astute Nicole Sullivan fans may have noted that the March 11th episode of the Disney animated series Pepper Ann (which was actually a rebroadcast of an episode originally aired on September 18, 1999) featured the voice of Nicole Sullivan (as Tundra Woman). I have been so busy that I haven't had time to do a write-up on this appearance, but at least I have had time (finally) to add a page documenting Nicole Sullivan's second appearance on Fired Up. (Added March 18, 2000)

Fox Family will re-run World's Greatest Magic V, a special which originally aired on November 25, 1998, on March 20, 2000 at 9:00 PM. [This was the fifth in a series of specials which aired the day before Thanksgiving from 1994 to 1998.] Nicole Sullivan appears in this program. The USA Network will re-run "The Pajama Game," the second of two Fired Up episodes in which Nicole Sullivan appeared, on March 16. (Added March 9, 2000)

The USA Network will re-run "The Baby-Sitter's Club," one of two episodes of Fired Up in which Nicole Sullivan appeared, on March 7, 2000 at 10:30 AM EST (OAD: 11-10-1997). More information on this episode is available at my Nicole Sullivan on Fired Up web page. I also screened the second Fired Up episode in which Ms. Sullivan appeared and will post additional information on this episode whenever I get around to it. (Added March 5, 2000)

Taping for Talk to Me wrapped up late on Friday, February 25, 2000. ABC has commissioned five episodes of this sitcom, which stars Kyra Sedgwick as a radio talk show host and also features Beverly D'Angelo and Nicole Sullivan. The show will debut on April 11, 2000 at 9:30 PM EST/8:30 PM CST, after Dharma and Greg. (Added March 5, 2000)

ABC has announced an air date for Talk to Me, a new sitcom starring Kyra Sedgwick (Phenomenon) and Nicole Sullivan. It will debut at on Tuesday, April 11, 2000 at 9:30 PM EST (8:30 CST), replacing Sports Night, which will wrap up its run for the year on April 4. Presently there is no information on how many episodes will air. The show will have the advantage of a fairly strong lead-in (currently, Dharma and Greg airs at 9:00 PM EST on ABC, and the 8:00 PM time slot is occupied by the mega-hit Who Wants To Be a Millionaire - none of this, of course, was much help to Sports Night). More information on ABC's mid-season replacements can be found at - where else - the Fox News web site. Tickets may or may not still be available for the February 25th taping of Talk to Me in New York City (Queens); for more information check the Audiences Unlimited web site. (Added February 20, 2000)

You can't get tickets for Talk to Me (Nicole Sullivan's latest sitcom project) anymore, but for the benefit of those who already have tickets, here's a map of the area around the Kaufman-Astoria Studios. Note that it's off of Northern Boulevard.

Also, Nicole Sullivan fans who are going to be in the New York metropolitan area on February 11 or 18 (both Fridays) may want to attend the taping of Talk to Me, an ABC sitcom (featuring Kyra Sedgwick) which is also Nicole Sullivan's newest sitcom project. Tickets for both shows are still available through www.audiencesunlimited.com. February 18th is also the last taping of the season. Taping takes place at the Kaufman Astoria Studios in Astoria, N.Y. (in Queens; the street address is 34-12 36th Street). Fill out the form on the abovementioned site, and you can attend one or both of these tapings.

The week of February 6th will feature several Nicole Sullivan television appearances. Here is a brief synopsis:

  • February 8: On Fired Up episode "The Pajama Game" (telecast on USA Network at 10:30 AM EST; original air date unknown). *
  • February 9: On Loveline (also with Alex Borstein and Michael McDonald; telecast on MTV at 11:30 PM EST; original air date October 28, 1999). **
  • February 10: On The Drew Carey Show episode 218, "Drew Gets Married" (telecast on Fox affiliates in most major markets; original air date February 26, 1997). ***
  • February 12: On Mad TV, of course (telecast on the Fox Network at 11:00 PM; MD-516, a first-run episode).

[* This episode was not in the Fired Up Episode Guide, either. Since the show was pulled from NBC's lineup rather abruptly in February 1998 (during February sweeps), I tend to think that more episodes were taped than were aired, and these episodes did not surface until the show's run in syndication.]

[** Fans of Kids in the Hall may want to tune in to Loveline on February 8 at 4:00 AM, since Dave Foley and Scott Thompson (two-fifths of the cast) will be the guests (this is also a rerun).]

[*** In most major markets, as far as I know. Check local listings for airtime.]

As far as I know, the above is an exhaustive listing of Nicole Sullivan's TV appearances for the week of February 6th. If you have any additional information, please e-mail me. (Added February 5, 2000)

I recently screened "The Baby-Sitter's Club," an episode of Fired Up in which Nicole Sullivan guest-starred. More information on this episode can be found in my Nicole Sullivan on Fired Up page. (Added February 5, 2000)

The episode of Fired Up (the short lived Leah Remini series which aired from April 1997 to February 1998) in which Nicole Sullivan guest starred will air on the USA Network on January 27, 2000 at 10:30 AM EST. The episode originally aired on November 10, 1997 ("The Baby-Sitter's Club"). Thanks to an astute fan for drawing my attention to this Nicole Sullivan TV appearance. (Added January 22, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan will appear as guest host on the NBC late night talk show Later on January 17 and 18, 2000 (late Monday night/early Tuesday morning and late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning). These are reruns of two of the four installments of the show in which Nicole Sullivan hosted back in late November 1999. The lineups are as follows:

  • January 17: Daisy Fuentes (House of Style, America's Funniest Home Videos, Daisy Fuentes); OAD November 25, 1999
  • January 18: Wilmer Valderamma (That 70's Show); OAD November 23, 1999

Air time for the program is 1:30 AM EST on most NBC affiliates (after Conan O'Brien). In New York City, the show airs at 1:35 AM. Check local listings. For more information on these shows, see my Nicole Sullivan Hosts Later page. (Added January 16, 2000)

Nicole Sullivan will appear on the NBC late night talk show Later on January 6, 2000 (late Thursday night/early Friday morning). Air time for most affiliates is 1:30 AM EST on NBC (after Conan O'Brien). This is a rerun from September 1999 which originally appeared the same week as the Mad TV season premiere. Bonnie McFarlane hosted this installment. For more information on this show, see my Nicole Sullivan on Later page. (Added January 6, 2000)

I recently screened the episode of Loveline in which Nicole Sullivan appeared (Alex Borstein and Michael McDonald also appeared; original air date: October 28, 1999). More details on this appearance can be found on my Nicole Sullivan on Loveline page. (Added December 30, 1999)

This site is moving from is present location at http://www.nic.com/~dzien/nicolesullivan/ to its new home at www.nic0lesullivan.org. That's a "0" instead of an "o" because Ms. Sullivan's agent has already gone and reserved www.nicolesullivan.org (and .com as well as .net). This site will temporarily be mirrored at nic.com, but eventually the mirror site will be discontinued - www.nic0lesullivan.org is now the main site for The Unofficial Nicole Sullivan Tribute Page. (Added December 25, 1999)

In case you missed it when it aired in October (and again in November), don't forget to watch Loveline on Wednesday, December 29 at 12:30 AM, 1:30 AM and again at 2:30 AM. One of the three shows is going to be a rebroadcast (at least I'm pretty sure) of the show from late October featuring cast members of Mad TV (including Nicole Sullivan). (Added December 25, 1999)

Nicole Sullivan recently hosted the NBC late-night talk show Later for a week. For more information on these appearances, see my Nicole Sullivan Hosts Later page. (Added November 30, 1999)

The Party of Five episode in which Nicole Sullivan guest starred will re-air on the Lifetime Network on November 24 at 3:00 PM EST. Thanks to an astute Nicole Sullivan fan for reminding me of this. (Added November 21, 1999)

Nicole Sullivan will host the NBC late night show Later the week of November 21, 1999. She will host the show four times (the show airs Monday through Thursday). The lineups for the four shows are as follows:

  • September 22: Julie Warner (Doc Hollywood, Family Law), host Nicole Sullivan
  • September 23: Wilmer Valderrama (That 70's Show), host Nicole Sullivan
  • September 24: John Ducey (Oh Grow Up, Deep Impact), host Nicole Sullivan
  • September 25: Daisy Fuentes, (House of Style, Daisy Fuentes, America's Funniest Home Videos), host Nicole Sullivan

Later airs at 1:30 AM EST (12:30 AM Central) on most NBC affiliates. In the New York City metro area, the show airs at 1:36 AM EST on WNBC (channel 4). Check your local listings for air time. (Added November 18, 1999)

Nicole Sullivan made a guest appearance on the November 1, 1999 episode of Suddenly Susan as Claire. I have no further information on this episode right now. Ms. Sullivan may also have been one of the cast members of Mad TV to appear on the MTV program Loveline on October 28, 1999. (Added November 3, 1999)

The episode of The Drew Carey Show in which Nicole Sullivan appeared (as Diane Pulaski) was recently rebroadcast in syndication. Further information on Ms. Sullivan's guest appearance on this show can be found on my Nicole Sullivan on The Drew Carey Show page. (Added October 22, 1999)

Nicole Sullivan appeared on NBC's late night talk show Later on September 21. More information can be found on the Nicole Sullivan on Later page. (Added September 24, 1999)

In case you haven't figured it out yet, this web site was down for several days because of flooding of the Rochelle Park AT&T office at which Bell Atlantic operates a major hub. I'm not sure when my ISP lost its Internet connection, but I logged my last hit for this web site at 5:15 AM on Friday, September 17, so it probably happened on Friday morning. I apologize for any inconvenience that this outage may have caused (and will likely take precautions in the future to ensure that there are adequate fail-safe measures in place), but as is so often the case with these outages, the fault is ultimately with a third party - in this case, Bell Atlantic for being boneheaded enough to route all T-1 traffic (as well as long distance service and cell phone service) in one building. (Added September 19, 1999)

As the Fall 1999 season "officially" begins, here are some of the Nicole Sullivan-related happenings to which we can look forward:

  • Mad TV kicks off its fifth season on September 25, 1999. (I have no idea why the new season is starting so late this year, other than the fact that they tend schedule the season premiere one week before Saturday Night Live, and SNL premieres in early October.) The season premiere was taped in late August. As far as I know, Ms. Sullivan is still a cast member of the show.
  • Baby Blues, an animated half-hour series based on the syndicated comic strip, has been added to the WB's Fall 1999 schedule as a midseason replacement. (In case you haven't figured it out yet, this means I have no idea when the first episode will air, since another show has to be cancelled before Baby Blues is added to the schedule.) Nicole Sullivan provides the voice of the MacPherson's teenaged babysitter. The WB has ordered thirteen episodes of the series (the thirteen includes the Christmas episode which was originally scheduled to air in December 1998 as the first episode before te show was pulled from the WB schedule).
  • Don't forget to listen for Nicole Sullivan as one of the voices on the Buzz Lightyear animated series Star Command (slated to air in the year 2000).
  • The Drew Carey Show goes into syndicated reruns this month. That means that, barring anything unforseen, the episode in which Nicole Sullivan guest starred will air (eventually; assuming the stations generally air the shows in chronological order and assuming they air five episodes a week, the episode should air in late October/early November). Check your local listings for channel and time; I know at least that the New York City Fox affiliate, WNYW (channel 5), will begin airing the show on Monday, September 13 at 7:30 PM.
  • And for those of you who still haven't seen her on Diagnosis Murder and Party of Five, check the listings. I know Diagnosis Murder reruns are on PAX-TV, and I think the Lifetime Network still airs Party of Five reruns (they have aired "Private Lives," the episode in which Nicole Sullivan appeared, at least twice. Also, if anyone out there has a lot of time on their hands (or just really likes to watch Bea Arthur), watch the last season of The Golden Girls and keep an eye out for Nicole Sullivan, who allegedly appeared on the show, but who is not listed in any of the episode guides.

That covers the small screen. Now on to the movies: according to the Internet Movie Database, Nicole Sullivan appeared in a movie called Say You'll Be Mine. The movie has already been screened at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) on June 5, 1999; I could find no further information as to whetheror not there will be a theatrical release. The movie is a romantic comedy directed by Brad Kane and features (among others) Justine Bateman as a chain-smoking divorce lawyer. The film has been described by one critic as another film about twentysomethings about to turn thirty exploring relationships, in the tradition of My Best Friends Wedding - and a pretty good one at that. More information on this film can be found at the Internet Movie Database's entry for Say You'll Be Mine. No news yet on if/when Bar Hopping will be released - unlike Say You'll Be Mine, Bar Hopping is still in post-production, according to the listings. (Added September 4, 1999)

In case you missed it, Nicole Sullivan participated in MTV's first annual All Star League Tournament. She finished second overall, and finished in first place on the third day. She was in the lead for most of the final day of the tournament, falling behind in the basketball round (she failed to score a single point in this round). More information about her participation in this event can be found on my Nicole Sullivan on MTV's All Star League page - this was thrown together rather hastily, but hopefully in time I will be able to put together a page that will do her justice, or at least one that will be better than the one that exists now. (Added August 29, 1999)

According to the Celluloid Jungle web site, production for Bar Hopping did not start until December 1, 1998. Assuming that this information is correct, Ms. Sullivan was not working on this movie during her five-week absence from the show at the beginning of the season. (Added July 3, 1999)

Baby Blues, an animated half-hour comedy series based on the nationally syndicated comic strip, has been added to the WB's fall lineup as a midseason replacement. You can read about it at the official WB-17 Online web site. The WB press release simply states that "Nicole Sullivan (Mad TV)...provide[s] voices." According to the official Mad TV website, however, Ms. Sullivan will provide the voice of the MacPherson's teenaged babysitter. (Added June 27, 1999)

Nicole Sullivan was quoted in a recent Los Angeles Times article about Mad TV as having said that the cast of the show are "treated like the bastard orphan children of the network." Here's the full text of the article.(Added May 11, 1999)

Nicole Sullivan appeared at the Big Stinkin' Comedy Festival in Austin, Texas. The festival took place April 5-10, and Ms. Sullivan was a member of Mad TV's delegation to the festival (now in its fourth year). Other Mad TV cast members appearing at the show included Alex Borstein, Mo Collins, Phil LaMarr, Michael McDonald and Will Sasso. The Mad TV show was scheduled for April 9 (8:00 - 10:00 PM) at the Paramount Theater. The festival also featured a Mad TV "Best of the Best" sketches screening at the Dobie Theater (undoubtedly with many sketches featuring Nicole Sullivan). Many apologies for not finding out about this sooner. You can find out more about the Big Stinkin' Comedy Festival at the official Big Stinkin' Comedy Festival web site.(Added April 17, 1999)

Mad TV apparently is on hiatus for the summer. There's still a few more episodes to go, but they are done taping. (Added March 16, 1999)

I recently screened the Diagnosis Murder episode in which Nicole Sullivan appeared. There's not much to get excited about here; she only appears very briefly in one scene. Nevertheless, I have added a new page to this site documenting Nicole Sullivan's appearance on Diagnosis Murder. (Added March 16, 1999)

A recent check of the Internet Movie Database reveals that Nicole Sullivan is indeed slated to appear in an upcoming movie. She is listed as playing the role of Mara in the upcoming Steve Cohen film, Bar Hopping. It is currently listed as being in post-production (it's also slated for release in 1999). I have no further news of Ms. Sullivan's foray into the world of cinema. (Added February 25, 1999)

I sent e-mail to the Politically Incorrect web site, asking why Nicole Sullivan was not included in the panel of the February 17th broadcast. According to the reply, Ms. Sullivan had to cancel at the last minute and "we hope to reschedule her for a future date." (Added February 25, 1999)

Readers of TV Guide may have noticed an item in a recent issue of the publication (the one with George Clooney on the cover) about an alleged spat between Nicole Sullivan and Aries Spears. Sullivan allegedly became so furious with Spears that she said she would "never do a scene with him again." The executive producer of Mad TV claimed reports of the dispute were "completely wrong." TV Guide claims its inside source says the report is true but that Sullivan and Spears are working together again.

In case you missed it, Nicole Sullivan was mentioned in TV Guide's 50 Funniest TV Moments of All Time. Mad TV's hilarious parody of the WB show Felicity (dubbed "Intensity" in the parody) was ranked number thirty-seven out of the fifty funniest moments. The staff of TV Guide (or at least one person on the staff) has deemed this segment worthy of mention on at least three occassions. Diehard Nicole Sullivan fans will undoubtedly be pleased at this accolade (inclusion on list of television's 50 funniest moments; place in history secure).

The premiere of the animated Baby Blues series has been postponed to Fall 1999. This is a great disappointment to all of us who were looking forward to hearing Ms. Sullivan as the voice of the teenage babysitter. You can read about this and other developments at the Animated Baby Blues on WB Network web page.

In case you didn't know, Nicole Sullivan and fellow Mad TV cast member Phil LaMarr hosted a small party on Sunday, December 6, 1998, in which 12 Billboard Music Awards were handed out to winners. The party took place in the MGM Grand Hotel's Studio 54, and was essentially a prelude to the main ceremony on Sunday night.

Nicole Sullivan with Mac King Nicole Sullivan appeared on an NBC special called World's Greatest Magic which aired on November 25, 1998 from 8:00 to 10:00 PM (EST). Unfortunately, I missed this one (I didn't find out she was scheduled to appear in it until about half an hour after the show ended; I felt bad about it but then again it took me awhile just to track down the information; her involvement wasn't mentioned in the TV Guide listings). So I have no further information about this Nicole Sullivan sighting; I did, however, find this cool picture of Ms. Sullivan with some guy called Mac King.

Nicole Sullivan has rejoined the cast of Mad TV. In case you missed it, her first appearance this season was in MD-406, which aired on October 31, 1998. There has been much speculation as to the reasons behind her five week absence from the show, but the official word is that she was playing a role in a movie.
