What ever happened to Ankles?

He was in at least a couple bits, but no mention of him.

I noticed he was missing too. I had wondered about that, thought that was strange. Was Dana Mills on the show at all? I didn’t recall her being there, but maybe I missed her.

maybe because they got canned (if not directly by Dick, but by the corporate monolith that runs radio)

Non-appearances had nothing to do with anything other than time. 2 hours was already pushing it to keep the casual viewer's attention.

Many of the people that did get to appear on camera in the DPTV studio and spent countless hours on the project were literally strictly limited to 90 second pre-scripted cameos.

Finally got to watch last night, I thought that Tom Delise was a bigger factor before leaving for Hollywood and hardly got mentioned, they did say he had died, didn't know that.

Got a chance to watch it yesterday. Thought they did a nice job.

I downloaded it from the WTVS website and watched it. Just the show and there were none of the fundraising breaks inserted, so that probably made it a more enjoyable format.
