List of Jason Rickard in Living Color characters and sketches

The following is a list of recurring characters and sketches from the 2014–2022 FX sketch comedy series *Jason Rickard in Living Color*. Some of the recurring characters on the list have also made appearances on the spin-off series *Check It Out! with Dr. Finn Biscuit* (2018–2021), *Enjoy the Arts! with August Evening* (2022–present), and *Suburban Werewolf* (2022–present).

## Characters by actor

### Jason Rickard

Rickard appears at the start of each episode as the series' mildly illiterate "presenter". He appears in a cold open at the start of every episode to explain to viewers either why the show was important or how he will kill them if they do not stay for the remainder of the program. He frequently includes logical fallacies in his opening monologue, and becomes enraged upon being corrected by the off-screen cameraman (voiced by Rickard).

* **Alexandre Chevrolet** (seasons 2–6) — An adolescent boy who hosts the *Teen Talk*. He is often seen wearing a white T-shirt and extremely ripped pants, and speaks in a distinct nasal voice with a Canadian accent, often at fast rates interviewees cannot understand. At the end of the segment, he always offers a stolen or cheaply made trendy product the viewer can offer, often catering to stereotypical teenage interests. Some of later editions of the sketch imply that Jason has autism. After season 5 ended, *Teen Talk* disappeared from *Living Color*, and Alexandre's only subsequent appearance was on *The Futoshi Yamazaki Show*.

### Derek Bauer

* **Derek Bowwow** — A mysterious elderly man who consistently appears as a guest in the talk show sketches. He is said to be a single man in his 60s. He is obsessed with McDonald's food and women's feet. Many times he will make uncomfortable comments about the latter, much to hosts' dismay. Derek is also shown to be a Republican, as he will occasionally voice concerns about the Democratic Party's "destruction of America" and makes bigoted remarks about Barack Obama.

### Mariana Ricardo

* **Carlota** — Futoshi Yamazaki's young ex-girlfriend who sometimes appears on the show to annoy him or force him to get back together with her. She is extremely hyperactive, and talks and moves at extremely high speeds.
* **Victoria Berlusconi** — An insane woman who appears in various throwaway sketches. Born into an Italian American family, she is an obsessive feminist, often interjecting pointlessly whenever she appears. She is the daughter of mobster-turned-cop Alessandro Berlusconi and an unnamed deceased actress.

### Perry Suzuki

* **Dominic Dominguez** (seasons 2–5) — A young, naive WFUK reporter from Hawaii. He often reports about politics and adds his own liberal viewpoint, only for it to be overshadowed by Joe Lunk or Mark Fitz's rapidly changing political views. He dies in the series' final episode after Jason Rickard shoots him in the chest with a pistol.
* **Futoshi Yamazaki** — An elderly Japanese American man and the titular host of *The Futoshi Yamazaki Show*. Rickard sought to "obliterate stereotypes" by making him brokenly speak both English and Japanese, mispronouncing and confusing words in both languages. One of Yamazaki's defining traits is his inability to understand basic idioms, often expressing offense or confusion. After the season 6 finale showed him being arrested for possession of illegal drugs, the sketch was removed from the series, and Futoshi would not reappear until the series finale.
* **Robert Cho** — A young Korean American man and the host of the *Tae Kwon Yo!* web series. According to the *Tae Kwan Yo!* first video, he came to New York from Seoul in "1980-something", and was a producer for *Teen Talk* before leaving the show to pursue a career in "kicking ass".

### Other characters

* **Bobbi** (Wendi Chen; season 1) — An introverted teenage girl who appears in the first ten episodes of the series, serving as the "token normal person".
* **Christian J. Christian** (Bruce Lyndon; seasons 7–8) — A Christian frequenter on *The Futoshi Yamazaki Show* and *The Erik Brinkholdt Television Program*. He consistently expresses his disapproval of liberal concepts, and promotes traditionalist Catholicism instead. He often makes "cringy" statements about religion, prompting often-shocked reactions from the second guest.
* **Gregorio** (Mario Mendez) — A frequent talk show guest who only speaks Spanish, frustrating the English speakers around him and requiring a translator to come in. His main interests are electronic music and graphic design.
* **Nicole Fuentes** (Daniela Vazquez; seasons 1–3) — A bilingual woman who is one of Harry Lopez's friends.
* **Jake** (Conner Fredrick; seasons 5–6) — A precocious adolescent boy who appears in five episodes.
* **Mrs. Wopperfudge** (Kennedy Garrison; seasons 2–8) — Robert Cho's racist elderly neighbor. She interrupts *Tae Kwon Yo!* recordings frequently, screaming at him through his window to do simple actions like taking an object off her lawn or retrieving his pet dog, and often tells him to "go back" to random Asian countries such as Taiwan or Vietnam, ignoring his proud Korean heritage. In the show's penultimate episode, Robert kills her off-screen.
* **Zayden** (Logan Ricki Novak; seasons 2–5) — A boy of Polish-Jewish descent who comes on *Teen Talk* to discuss Jewish culture, often prompting stereotypical questions from Alexandre, which causes Zayden to express his sudden frustration.
