| | Nicole Sullivan on Suddenly Susan |
 | | Suddenly Susan, in case you forgot already, was an NBC sitcom (1996-2000) which starred Brooke Shields as Susan Keane, a woman whom, on the verge of marriage, left her fiancee at the alter and instead got a job as a columnist at a hip San Francisco magazine called The Gate. |
 | | In this episode, Susan's editor, Ian Maxtone-Graham (Eric Idle, replacing Judd Nelson in the show's final season) instructs her to do an article on upcoming tryouts for the San Francisco 49ers (the main rationale for his publishing the article is that cheerleaders, as a general rule, are sexy, and sex sells). |
 | | Finally, Susan rejects the cheerleading job, ultimately refusing to compromise her feminist ideals for this opportunity in spite of the frission she experienced when she initially made the cut. |
