Here, she was performed by Alice Dinnean.
Character Profile[]
Previous experience[]
Mancie is Amber’s older sister and couldn’t wait to move away from Eugene, Oregon. She got a scholarship to Bryn Mawr University, Pennsylvania and studied English Literature where she developed a passion for Jane Austen and an obsession with unrequited love. A career in the media beckoned.
Over the years she has worked on various entertainment formats from chat shows in the US to game shows in Japan.
Her sharp tongue often gets the better of her and she’s often under-appreciated despite the fact that she’s definitely the hardest working person on the show and isn’t afraid to send someone to the production office in shame.
How Mancie got a job on the show[]
She has risen through the TV ranks and after coming up with the idea for That Puppet Game Show (even though Udders thinks it was his own) was given the job of getting it on screen. Of course her original idea was somewhat different to how the show turned out (Mancie devised it as a psychological test of the cognitive bonds between siblings), not that she feels intellectually unfulfilled running a show that fires darts at celebrities on a massive revolving wheel.

Dislikes[]
The Experts (when they’re not doing what they’re told), having to remind people that she’s ONLY 12 MONTHS OLDER THAN AMBER!
