5 Finest Small TV Roles

Dr. Spacemen €“ 30 Rock

In the first episode of this once great show, a delusional Tracey Morgan calls for his medical professional, Dr. Spaceman. We assume this can only be a figment of his fevered mind but then the doctor arrives and he€™s real (but pronounced sper-chemmen). It quickly becomes clear that the good doctor€™s mind is as twisted as Tracey€™s, and it€™s a toss-up between the two over who gets the most shocking lines. Played with an air of matter-of-fact bafflement by SNL stalwart Chris Parnell, Dr. Spaceman is used sparingly but always to fine effect. Good moment: When Jenna is asking for medical advice on weight loss the doctor€™s considered response is: Crystal Meth has been shown to be very effective, how important is tooth retention to you?
