Peter Gibbon
Peter Gibbon (formally credited on air as Peter G.) is the disgraced former executive producer of Barely Informed News, currently designated on screen as the network’s “News Stowaway & Food Eater.”
Distinctive for his stout frame, round spectacles, nasal delivery, and prominent cleft chin, Gibbon is widely regarded as one of the most abrasive and reviled figures to ever step foot in the studio.
Overview
Gibbon served as the original producer of Barely Informed News before being terminated and stripped of his security credentials due to gross managerial incompetence, leading directly to the hiring of Pepito.
Following his dismissal, Gibbon refused to vacate the network facilities. Evading building security, he took up permanent residence inside the structural crawlspaces and drywall of the newsroom. From these interior wall cavities, Gibbon regularly sneaks into the broadcast booth, raids the staff refrigerator, commandeers unattended broadcast feeds, and interrupts live telecasts to the immense fury of lead anchor Case Blackwell.
Key Attributes & Lore
- Structural Wall Inhabitant: Squats full-time within the studio drywall, navigating behind control room consoles and emerging through crawlspace access panels.
- On-Screen Lower Third: Billed on broadcast graphics as “Peter G. NEWS STOWAWAY & FOOD EATER”.
- Staff Contempt: Universally despised by anchors, technical crew, and viewers alike, who groan whenever his voice filters through the air ducts.
- Physical Feats & Delusions: Boasts of deadlifting beer kegs, claims dubious former military intelligence connections, and harbors an obsession with model rocketry.
