* HighHopesZeroTalent: From Ep. S2 E9 (1980 MLB All-Star Game): Hideki Ichimo, a Japanese man who moved to America in hopes of becoming a baseball announcer. Except he didn't speak a word of English (Outside of Music/HueyLewisAndTheNews lyrics) and refused to learn. And when his calls were translated to English, they made no sense anyway.

The BackStory goes that a long time ago (on February 4, 2004) a man named Ron Parker (Michael Showalter), "an anchor with attitude", was filming the first episode of ''Cheap Seats with Ron Parker''. The show was slated to go big. However, moments into filming, he was buried under a stack of tapes and his loyal but poorly treated assistants, the Sklar brothers, had to fill in for him (like [[UsefulNotes/{{Baseball}} Gehrig for Pipp]] or [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball Brady for Bledsoe]]) as they were the next people in line before Ryan Leaf. Thus the show became ''Cheap Seats Without Ron Parker''.

Guest segments were also common, either with recurring characters like The Answer Dog or The Score Settler, or with characters tangent to the action (as portrayed by comedians). Other segments took more of a documentary approach, but were still ficitious and played for laughs, like the history of a labor strike in the world of professional miniature golf.

** Going to commercial, one camera would often zoom in on an old Dutch door that had a sign that read; "Attention ESPN Staff:" at the top, and, "Do not lend tapes to this person" at the bottom, with enough space for a picture in-between. Most of the time, this picture would be of a celebrity, or a politician such as George W. Bush. The final shot of the series finale was this sign, now containing a picture of the Sklars themselves.
