Sure, there are plenty of movie stars and celebrities who live in New York. But there’s only one Dan Smith (who will teach you guitar).
Dr. Zizmor
Who he is: the sphinx-like dermatologist who has fixed faces that have launched a thousand C trains. His shitty clip-art, photoshopped ads haven't changed in the 12 years I've lived here.
His trademark: his "Thank you, Dr. Z!!!!" tagline.
Robin Byrd
Who she is: A former porn actress who has hosted a late-night cable access show that's been running since 1977 featuring local strippers. It's only on in Manhattan public access, and has been in reruns since 1998.
Her national fame moment: Cheri Oteri impersonated her on a Saturday Night Live sketch parody of the show.
Dan Smith (who will teach you guitar)
Who he is: A guitar teacher.
Why you know him: his ubiquitous flyers everywhere — EVERYWHERE — across the city. Parodies of his flyer have been on The Daily Show, The Love Guru, and a John Mayer album release campaign (ugh).
Sandy Kenyon
Who he is: ABC 7 Eyewitness News' entertainment reporter whose segments are syndicated on Taxi TV.
His signature line: "I'm Sandy Kenyon, and this is the Eyewitness....Movie Minute."
