Twenty questions, round 348

[damo666]

Based on this hesitation I am wondering if the character was introduced in 1999 or 2000. Maybe a season that spanned more than one calendar year.

Presuming the year of introduction is easy enough to ascertain I suspect it first aired in the year 2000 and ambiguity over which century that is in.

Did TV show first appear later than 1999?

No, I think Spartaculous is the kind of QM who would unambiguously define 2000 as the 20th century.

Then why do you wonder if the character first appeared in 1999 or 2000. Surely that would elicit an unambiguous 'no'.

Assuming the tv show has a wikipedia change surely the year of introduction cannot be in doubt? I'm puzzled.

Perhaps it's a more well known import and the original is in doubt.

[damo666]

Introduced in the 21st century?

No, I think.

Are you able to expand or clarify?

[DreamTrawler]

Is the show this character is from a comedy?

[Spartaculous]

Is the show this character is from a comedy?

I am assuming that "the show this character is from" means "the show in which this character first appeared".

Yes.

I am not counting the above question; the cutline for the beginning of the 21st century was January 1, 2000.

Introduced in the 21st century?

No, I think.

Are you able to expand or clarify?

I don't think I want to say more here beyond my original answer right now (and the clarification that the beginning of the 21st century is not in doubt).

Is it a cartoon character?

[Spartaculous]

Is it a cartoon character?

I will point you to this earlier question and answer and see if you still want to ask your question:

regardless of answer to previous question, was it an animated TV show?

I am assuming that "it" means "the television show in which this character first appeared".

No.

[Hominidae]

1,2. Fictional human
10. Male English speaker
3,6. Created 1950-1999 (or maybe after 1999, but the QM is pretty sure not)
4,5,7,8,9,11,12. First appeared on a comedy TV show that was neither animated, nor for kids, nor an American sitcom

[Hominidae]

Did this character first appear in a British TV show?

[Spartaculous]

Did this character first appear in a British TV show?

No.

[DreamTrawler]

Does this character appear in the TV show Trailer Park Boys?

If no - is this character from an American sketch comedy or talk show?

If yes - does this character have a U in their first name or nickname?

If yes, free guess - Bubbles

If no, free guess - Ricky LaFleur

(I haven’t see the show, I know there’s a third guy though)

[Spartaculous]

Does this character appear in the TV show Trailer Park Boys?

No.

If no - is this character from an American sketch comedy or talk show?

Yes.

[DreamTrawler]

Dang. I thought I had cracked the reason for the “No, I think” (2001 TV show based on a 1999 mockumentary)

[Hominidae]

In that case "first appeared on a TV show?" wouldn't have been a clear "yes".

Is this a character from Saturday Night Live?

[Spartaculous]

Is this a character from Saturday Night Live?

I knew that was going to be the next question.

No.

[Spartaculous]

I will update my answer to the 21st century question to "Pass". I still am leaning towards a pre-2000 appearance of this character, but sources are a bit unclear on it.

Has an actor been nominated for an Emmy or Oscar for depicting this character?
