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 See You Next Tuesday Network as a whole.
The Co-hosts
Dick Masterson
Creator and namesake of the Show, Dick is a high-energy, alcoholic, red-blooded rage whose sheer vitriol is only matched by his quick wit. After falling out with former friend and business partner 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 Spiritual Successor.- Bond One-Liner: Delivers several while fantasizing about fighting airport security.
- Catchphrase: Has several, the most notable being "What makes you a rage?"
- Deadpan Snarker
- Hair-Trigger Temper
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Although capable of dishing out withering verbal assaults on things that make him a rage, he has demonstrated fatherly compassion and understanding with earnest fans asking for advice, as well as with his nephew.
- Hearing him talk to and about his girlfriend '80s Girl is heart-melting.
- '80s Girl also revealed at the live show that Dick pretends to hate her cat but deep down, he's a Crazy Cat Lady.
- Only Known By Their Nick Name
Sean the Audio Engineer
Shawn the Audio Engineer is a longtime friend of Dick and the 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 partner-turned-enemy Maddox's podcast, but decided to take a brief hiatus when given a raise by Dick. Sha'an is still a relatively mysterious figure, but is nonetheless the subject of many wild fan theories.- Beware the Quiet Ones: Usually pretty laid-back and reserved, but can be downright vicious when his principles are challenged.
- Mr Fan Service
- Only Sane Man: 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.
- The Quiet One
- The Smart Guy
- The Stoner: Claims to not have smoked "in years".
- The Watson: Frequently asks Dick questions about their more obscure topics, so that Dick has an opportunity to explain it to unfamiliar listeners.

Denzel
- Black and Nerdy: His podcast is called Real Nerd Hours for a reason.

- Ms Fan Service: Come with the territory when you're a bikini model
Asterios Kokkinos
Before 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 some fans began to believe Maddox was grooming him to take Dick's place, and even more considered him The Scrappy of the show, mostly because of his loud mannerisms and Hollywood liberal tendancies. After Biggest Problem's demise, Asterios tried to remain a neutral party in the feud, but when Maddox, his long-time friend, broke his trust, he promptly broke bad and became a fierce opponent of Maddox and his lackeys.Host of the podcasts Science Friction and The Five Minute Podcast on the See You Next Tuesday Network.- Crazy Is Cool: Everything he's done since writing the Santa Cucks album.
- I Have Many Names: The Enigma, Santa Cucks, Boisterous Coconuts
- Neutral No Longer: Initially didn't take side in the Dick-Maddox feud. Then Mental Jess doxxed him.
