Season Three of NewsRadio opens with WNYX radio-station owner Jimmy James (Stephen Root) considering a run for the presidency--and in an even more frightening development nerdish radio reporter Matthew (Andy Dick) acquiring a mustache. But wait there s more!

Guest stars this season include cartoonist Scott Adams in an episode built around Matthew s obsession over Adams creation Dilbert; James Caan in a story that turns out to be about Green Acres; Ben Stiller as a greedy gym manager; Jerry Seinfeld as himself in the saga of Lisa and Bill attempting to get a new show some ratings; French Stewart as a temp who manages to out-weird even Matthew; and in an episode taped for the previous season but withheld from view because of one of the Words You Couldn t Use On Television Much Norm MacDonald as a slick attorney representing Jimmy in a workman s-comp dispute. Also Season Three offers the first of the series celebrated fantasy episodes Daydream which is topped by the penultimate offering Space wherein for no other reason than the producers thought it would be funny the entire cast is thrust forward into the year 2228.
