| | Posted: | | | | As I'm doing the credits on my South Park seasons I came across a little pickle. In season one under voices, her name is Shannen Cassidy. In the second season her name has changed to Shannon Cassidy..I used the credit lookup and found: "shannon cassidy" is credited in the following 5 titles (7 profiles) "shannen cassidy" is credited in the following 24 titles (28 profiles) So what is her common name? Or should I just add her as Shannon Cassidy in the second season, without a common name? Maybe it's a "joke" from Matt and Trey? Hope someone can give me an answer on this issue  | | | "What's God?"

| | Posted: | | | | That's simple. Shannen is listed more often than Shannon therefore...your common name is Shannen.

| | Posted: | | | | Sorry, but both is wrong! Mary Kay Bergman is the correct name!
See her official homepage:
http://www.wackyvoices.com/
http://www.wackyvoices.com/MKBindex.html
And some more infos:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kay_Bergman
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0074834/
Also the CLT shows: "Mary Kay Bergman" is credited in the following 217 titles (470 profiles)
So please people, do a little research before just relying on the CLT... | | | | Last edited: by SpaceFreakMicha |

| | Posted: | | | | Indeed, I think that there are at least two (transitional?) episodes wherein she is credited as "Mary Kay Bergman AKA Shannen Cassidy ..." fun
I seem to recall that there was only one episode in season two that the credit was ShannOn, and that the rest were ShannEn, up until the couple of credits with the AKA, followed by Mary Kay Bergman onwards.
I assume that the Shannon was a typo, which isn't terribly relevant to this discussion. | | | | -fred |

| | Posted: | | | | The name should be the most common name listed, Typos are TOTALLY irrelevant, even IF they were relevant, just how would you determine what is or isn't a typo, do you know the actress, use a ouija board, or a dartboard?

| | Posted: | | | | Well I go for Mary Kay Bergman as common name, and use Shannon/Shannen as credited as | | | "What's God?"

| | Posted: | | | | yes indeedy, that is what I have done (when i said that Shannon being a typo wasn't relevant to this discussion, i meant that of course one would enter the credit as it appears, and that it being a typo was simply my interpretation of what most likely happened ...sorry for being unclear) For the AR amongst us, I think that South Park Season 2, Episode 13 ("Chef Aid") has the credit as (I haven't the disc in front of me, darned workplace rules): Trey Parker Matt Stone Mary Kay Bergman AKA Shannen Cassidy ... It's either this episode or the one before. There were 2 eps in a row that had this IIRC. Comments on how to credit??? (I personally like the look of Mary /Kay Bergman AKA Shannen /Cassidy  ) I know what I have put in my local, and of course there is exactly zero chance of my ever contributing this profile, even if I did it "right" | | | | -fred |
