Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This? Wiki
Advertisement

Since the very first episode, Jon has given all cast members who appear on camera a lower third. From seasons 1-4, the only lower third used was "microwave specialist" for Jory and "camera guy" for Jon. Although Ezra and Ryan are now considered to be former sidekicks, they were never given that title as a lower third. In season 5, Jon started giving Jory a custom lower third that was a joke or witty phrase related to the item being microwaved in that episode. Riley was not given a custom lower third until the sixth season, when he started appearing in the intros. Throughout season 5, his lower third was just "the sidekick", except for the Etch-a-Sketch, where he was listed as "the host..... ?". Below, all custom lower thirds will be listed, followed by the name of whose lower third it was in parentheses
