Magic Voice Gets a MentionWe haven’t see this too often. A piece by Molly Fitzpatrick at Vocative.com, pegged to the passing of Carol Ann Susi, who provided the voice for the unseen Mrs. Wolowitz on “The Big Bang Theory,” lists beloved TV characters that were heard and not seen, and, wow, Magic Voice makes the cut! (As the commenters in the story point out, how Molly could have left out Carlton the door man, we’ll never know.)
This is the first time (that I can remember) Magic Voice was ever the focus of a media mention. By the way, the story credits Mary Jo but, for the record, Jann Johnson and Alex Carr did it before her, and Beez McKeever did it after her. Thanks to Paul for the heads up. 8 Replies to “Magic Voice Gets a Mention”Commenting at Satellite News

Wasn’t Bridget also MV once or twice?
Magic Voice seems like kind of an odd choice to me. I never really considered that she was supposed to have any kind of real physical presence; I always figured she was just the voice of the Satellite’s systems. (So, I guess, by seeing the SoL itself, we were kind of seeing Magic Voice, in a way.) Was I completely off base there?
Hopefully this will ease Magic Voice’s disappointment after her ill-fated romance with the narrator of Atomic Brain.
Hummm… no PA announcer guy from MASH? baaaaahhh to that list!
The Steinbrenner bit from Seinfeld is probably my fav from the list. Incidentally, The Big Bang Theory lady was also on a Seinfeld as a woman George was dating just to keep getting unemployment checks.
#4, the PA guy on MASH was Radar, unless your joke is flying over my head.
No, they were two separate characters (and actors). The PA announcer was played by Sal Viscuso (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0899601/reference), not Gary Burghoff. (But, of course, true to the thread, we never saw the guy making the announcements, nor was he even given a name.)
RE: 4
Radar (and later Klinger) only came on the PA with plot relevant news. The regular announcer tended to do jokes that the cast mostly ignored (much as it does in the movie).
PA: The following personnel have signed for the VD class now meeting in the commissary.
(Dead silence follows, then the music resumes).
Hey, they Missed “Carlton the doorman” from the Rhoda series.
He was before Charlie.
The guy parlayed that gig into a daytime talk show, not to mention voicing Garfield in the animated series..
