Character
Network President
Network President in Futurama (1999), played by Billy West.
He is a background suit in Futurama's satirical universe, the kind of executive who shows up to explain, with total sincerity, why a show must be dumbed down, cut, or reshaped to chase ratings. He wants profit and control, and he never doubts either instinct for a second.
He works because the joke is instantly legible: every network note ever complained about, condensed into one smug, oblivious voice. Billy West gives him the same bland corporate cheer regardless of how absurd the demand, which is exactly what makes the satire land without straining for it.
The Network President is a laptop-like robot who is the president of a TV network and allows Bender Bending Rodríguez to be in All My Circuits. He also has a USB gun that plugs into his USB drive and slots in his disc drive hold it. He is carried around by his Network Execubots.
