Recurring Characters
Super Dave was accompanied by several recurring characters including:
- Mike Walden, Super Dave's announcer, whose loud suits were frequently the subject of mockery. He was almost always present in the remote segments. Walden would often say "Get that thing out of here!" after a failed stunt using dangerous machinery.
- Fuji Hakayito (Art Irizawa), Super Dave's barely comprehensible stunt coordinator.
- Donald Glanz (Don Lake), the manager of the Super Dave Compound. Amusingly, glans is the proper name for the head of the penis.
- A Jamaican steel drum band that only knew how to play Barry Manilow's song "Copacabana". They were always sent as a replacement for The Super Dave Band, who were unable to appear on the show when scheduled, usually due to a bar mitzvah (making them an unseen character). The Super Dave Band reportedly had a vast repertoire, which was featured in a game where audience members would try to stump the band by naming songs they would have to play. The steel drum band's leader would confirm they knew the song, and then play "Copacabana", frustrating Super Dave. A similar bit was "Name That Song", where the audience members would have to name a song played by the band.
- Michel Lauzière, a supposed backstage worker who often came on to the stage unannounced to do an interesting performance or magic trick, much to the chagrin of Super Dave. After being told not to come back until he had something "unique", he would usually return seconds later with a different trick.
- Bernie Weinthal, Super Dave's midget attorney.
- Tony Cox, the president of the network, who always ended up getting Super Dave irritated somehow.
- Danny, an unseen camera man who is always mentioned by Super Dave

Famous quotes containing the words recurring and/or characters:
“I am a writer and a feminist, and the two seem to be constantly in conflict.... ever since I became loosely involved with it, it has seemed to me one of the recurring ironies of this movement that there is no way to tell the truth about it without, in some small way, seeming to hurt it.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs, their passions, their characters and talents; and impresses us with the belief that such needs, passions and interests are the sole spring of actions.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (17701831)
