Josh Girard

Josh GirardName: Josh Girard
Portrayed By: Lonny Ross
Occupation: Actor/Impressionist

Likes: Josh is a pretty easy going guy who spends his days goofing off in the writer’s room and dedicating his time to playing “Marry-Boff-Kill” and staring at a scantily clad Cerie. NBC Store chicken noodle soup has been known to cheer him up after a cold or the flu.

Dislikes: Since Frank blatantly states that Josh “really sucks” at Marco-Polo, one can only assume that Josh is not or ever has been a very athletic person. Really, who likes getting things thrown at them with a paper bag on their head?

Personal Life: Josh was the male lead of TGS before Tracy came along, and seemed upset to begin with, but is now complacent with being one of the three stars. Liz Lemon discovered Josh while he was opening (doing what is unknown) for a puppet. Some people see him as juvenile and child-like, but he did manage to use some smarts while negotiating is contract with Jack Donaghy. It backfired of course, but it still took guts. We also know that if he could, he would do inappropriate things with Elizabeth Taylor. Other than that, we have not seen a romantic interest for him.

Quick Facts:

-Josh acts as the impressionist for the show, portraying the following: Ray Romano, Michael Jackson, Stone Philips, Jay Leno, Tracy Jordan and Jack Donaghy.
-Also plays the characters Dr. Ridiculous and Gaybraham Lincoln.
-His parents raised him as a girl for the first 10 years of his life.
-Received a 760 on his SAT
-Graduated from SUNY Cortland
-Jewish

    We (that’s right, Dr. Spaceman has TWO brains…) are SO glad Josh is gone! We had hoped in Season One when Liz and Jack negotiated his contract with that sick, abreve-obsessed lawyer that he would never “penetray” TGS again, but, alas, life is not all Kenneth believes it is. Anyway, now that he’s gone maybe Rachel Dratch aka the Cat Lady aka the Ferret Lady aka the Mediator aka the Lady Doctor aka Barbara Walters (YES!!!) can have a permanent spot on the show. Oh and also maybe it will leave some cash money left to bring Kathy G. on as a full-time character as well….
