12 Unanswered Questions From Famous TV Shows That Are Still Killing Us

11. What Is The Waitress' Name? - It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

In FX's hit offbeat comedy, the frequent object of Charlie's (Charlie Day) affections is a waitress simply referred to as "The Waitress" (Mary Elizabeth Ellis). Even though Charlie has gravitated away from being quite so creepy towards her in recent seasons, she's still a constant entity in the lives of The Gang.

She's always been a bit of an enigma, as best evidenced by the fact that, after 13 seasons, we still don't know what her actual name is.

Fans initially thought her name had been slyly given away in the season seven episode "The High School Reunion" - where her name tag, bearing the name "Nikki Potnick", was stolen - but Glenn Howerton later confirmed that this was actually not the case.

It seems pretty unlikely that The Waitress' name will ever be revealed, because isn't it just so much more fun to agonise over it?
