1''The Dick Show'''s (nominal) quest for a new co-host logically requires a large ensemble of guests and personalities, many of whom are only tangentially related to the Show or to the [[CountryMatters See You Next Tuesday Network as a whole]].
2
3!The Co-hosts
4
5!!Dick Masterson
6Creator and namesake of the Show, Dick is a high-energy, [[RunningGag alcoholic]], red-blooded [[CatchPhrase rage]] whose sheer vitriol is only matched by his [[DeadpanSnarker quick wit]]. After falling out with former friend and business partner [[Website/TheBestPageInTheUniverse Maddox]], with whom he hosted ''The Biggest Problem in the Universe'', he was able to apply his creative vision to his own podcast, which the majority of fans agree is ''Biggest Problem'''s [[invoked]]SpiritualSuccessor.
7* BondOneLiner: Delivers several while fantasizing about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKdK4DgLCus/ fighting airport security.]]
8* CatchPhrase: Has several, the most notable being "What makes you [[InsistentTerminology a rage]]?"
9* DeadpanSnarker
10* HairTriggerTemper
11* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although capable of dishing out withering verbal assaults on things that [[BerserkButton make him a rage]], he has demonstrated fatherly compassion and understanding with earnest fans asking for advice, as well as with his nephew.
12** Hearing him talk to and about his girlfriend [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickName '80s Girl]] is heart-melting.
13** '80s Girl also revealed at the live show that Dick pretends to hate her cat but deep down, he's a CrazyCatLady.
14* OnlyKnownByTheirNickName
15
16!!Sean the Audio Engineer
17[[RunningGag Shawn]] the Audio Engineer is a longtime friend of Dick and the [[AscendedExtra co-host]]/audio engineer of the Show. Szuan was also the audio engineer of ''The Biggest Problem in the Universe'', where he quickly became a fan favorite for his broad knowledge, reserved nature, and witty zingers. He formerly engineered Dick's [[TheRival partner-turned-enemy]] Maddox's podcast, but decided to take a [[BlatantLies brief hiatus]] when given a raise by Dick. [[OverlyLongGag Sha'an]] is still a relatively mysterious figure, but is nonetheless the subject of many wild fan theories.
18
19* BewareTheQuietOnes: Usually pretty laid-back and reserved, but can be downright vicious when his principles are challenged.
20* MrFanService
21* OnlySaneMan: More so on Biggest Problem, but he does it here too. He's more levelheaded than the rest of the cast and doesn't drink so he tends not get involved in the sort of insanity that Dick and Asterios do.
22* TheQuietOne
23* TheSmartGuy
24* TheStoner: Claims to not have smoked "in years".
25* TheWatson: Frequently asks Dick questions about their more obscure topics, so that Dick has an opportunity to explain it to unfamiliar listeners.

35* MsFanService: Come with the territory when you're a bikini model
36
37!!Asterios Kokkinos
38Before becoming a stalwart of ''The Dick Show'' and the See You Next Tuesday Network in general, Asterios "The Sneaky Greek" Kokkinos was a frequent guest on ''The Biggest Problem in the Universe''. So frequent, in fact, that [[ConspiracyTheorist some fans]] began to believe Maddox was grooming him to take Dick's place, and even more considered him TheScrappy of the show, mostly because of his loud mannerisms and [[StrawCharacter Hollywood liberal]] tendancies. After ''Biggest Problem'''s demise, Asterios tried to remain a neutral party in the feud, but when [[BreakTheCutie Maddox, his long-time friend, broke his trust]], he promptly [[GrowingTheBeard broke]] [[NeutralNoLonger bad]] and became a fierce opponent of Maddox and his lackeys.
39Host of the podcasts ''Science Friction'' and ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Five Minute Podcast]]'' on the See You Next Tuesday Network.
