10 Best It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Side Characters

10. Jackie Denardo

Denardo has only appeared in three episodes of the show, but every time she has made enough of an impact to be remembered as one of the best side characters. First appearing in Storm of the Century, Jackie Denardo is a news reporter played by Jessica Collins, she is introduced as a serious journalist, who The Gang instantly objectify when they see her on TV.

A lot of her comedy in this episode comes from her connection to Dennis. After setting her up as this highly desired figure amongst the men at Paddy's Pub, Dennis meets her in the store where they are buying supplies. The moment is hilarious because even to us we feel a little star-struck, as we've only seen Jackie exist as a celebrity in this world.

Dennis' attempts to seduce Jackie are hilariously faltered, as he is so shocked by her presence that he can't muster up any of his traditional charms. She is a fantastic character to act as a foil to Dennis, as her mere presence is enough to reduce him to a failure.

Jessica Collins does a great job playing Jackie as this serious journalist, and her other appearances in the show continue to play with this concept.
