Whether they are on air or not, the show is either non-union or all writers/performers are SAG-AFTRA. I actually wouldn't be shocked if they were non-union as that would make the replays a budgeting nightmare. In the past they seemed to not give names and instead call them things like "the lump" and "hulk" to try to distance the performers from the characters, but it definitely is odd that they rarely get their names on the air. I assume this is a "the people that should know, know" thing and these performers/writers are OK with the lack of name recognition, but it does seem like they would want a plug every once in a while.

They'd probably want to plug their Twitter or IG account which would results in a 2 hour derail from Howard

I think he got tired of people in the office becoming personalities and not doing their actual jobs. That started to turn around when he shut down Ronnie's Block Party.

I'm randomly reminded of one of my favourite Artie bits, and it's not even a bit, just one thing he said once. Eric's on the phone, and Howard says something like "I don't even think <Dianna Diguarmo/Kelly Clarkson/Katherine Mcphee/whomever ETA was lusting after at the time> is that hot." Eric: "You have to be kidding me..." Artie: (in the weirdest Eric impression ever, almost like a robot) "You. Have. To. Be. Kidding. Me." I love that little throwaway jab, and I remember it being so different than all the other Eric impressions.

Artie was picking the lowest hanging branch and mocking the way Eric spoke. A toddler would do that trying to make fun of someone. I loved the ones where Howard would let Eric finish making his point and in the awkward silence that followed Artie would very calmly say "Eric, why don't you take that club foot and shove it up your rear end."

That's 90% of what the interactions between Eric and literally everyone on staff consisted of. Low hanging fruit or not, I can't help but hear Artie's way of saying that when the phrase comes up.

Yeah because literally no one else made fun of his speech when they introduced him with the Mars Attacks drop and all the "ack acks".

My favorite bit was when Artie would start to say goodbye to Eric in the middle of him talking. “Bye Eric” “Ok buddy we’ll see you later” “Take care Eric” “Ok go gently caress yourself Eric.”

Fred used to do this with John the Stutterer and it used to drive me insane; I hated it so much. It was so much funnier when they just let him try to get a sentence out. Artie with Eric didn't bother me as much though. I didn't really feel like Artie was interrupting him.

Well, Artie interrupted him in the "okay bye, go gently caress yourself" way more than he interrupted by making fun of his speech pattern.

Some writers and staff members eventually got on the air, like Chris Wilding who started calling in with bits like Lee King Snatch when he still lived in Canada, and Steve Nowicki who of course does Alex Jones and Sal's Dad. Poor Mike Trainor (The Lump and Hulk) still can't get his name out there. It still must be a sweet gig because you barely have to do any work during the week and after the show you do standup or smoke weed with Brent and feel up his wife.

I actually forgot until one of the recent replays that last year they were considering putting "golden tickets" in his book to feel up Brent's wife. That's actually pretty funny and would have definitely been something the Howard of 20+ years ago would have done in a heartbeat.

Eric explains some odd request or complaint. There's a pause. Artie: Okay well we'll see ya, buddy.

Going full CHUD for Bloomberg. Says Bernie can't beat Trump. Is referring to Bernie as "Carl Marx Junior" most of the time. Is replaying the debate in his mind as to how Bloomberg could/should have won. Quivers is onboard 100%. EDIT: Just justified the NDAs as normal business stuff.
