Vicki Lewis vs. Kathy Griffin
Battle of the Redheaded Flibbertigibbets

Or is it Vicki Griffin and Kathy Lewis? One plays the flaky, redheaded, wisecracking reporter on Suddenly Susan, the other (until recently, when the show was cancelled) played the wisecracking, redheaded, flakey, receptionist on NewsRadio. One's dating former notorious party-boy Nick Nolte, the other hangs out with current notorious party-boy Andy Dick. Really, is there a need for this kind of redundancy? Was there a mix-up at Central Casting? So far, Griffin seems to have a slight edge, as she's copped a few award show hosting gigs and pops up more consistently as the third-guest-on-the-talk-show. On the other hand, Lewis has more movie roles under her belt and has appeared on the legitimate stage in shows like "Damn Yankees." In any case, one will have to step aside. I mean, it's all right if two actors resemble one another, but these two are so similar that you start to wonder if their continued existence on the same plane of reality might threaten the fabric of the universe as we know it.

Advantage: Pick 'em.
