Default Guess the Dictator/Sit-Com Character

I'm sure a few of you have seen this before but for those who haven't its kinda cool.

Here are the rules: Pretend to be a dictator or television sitcom character. The computer will try to guess who you are:

Well, I win this round. You are player number 197 to pick Les Nesman from WKRP in Cincinnati, and what a clever choice it was! You almost had me for a while, but you let your guard down. Don't worry, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Please play again, and next time I'll be ready for you, Les Nesman from WKRP in Cincinnati.

Congratulations, you stumped me! It certainly seemed that you were Bonnie Hunt from Life With Bonnie, but if you say you weren't, I guess I have to believe you. Not that I'm happy about it. In fact, you've ruined my whole day. But I'll get you next time!

I picked Paul Pfeiffer...

It wasn't easy, but I won this time. You are player number 15 to have chosen Rudy from The Cosbys. Rudy from The Cosbys was a tough one, but I've had a lot of practice. Thanks for giving me something to do. Please visit again soon.

I thought that would be vague enough...

Whoa - I didn't expect it to get this:

Well, I win this round. You are player number 5 to pick Brent from Corner Gas, and what a clever choice it was! You almost had me for a while, but you let your guard down. Don't worry, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Please play again, and next time I'll be ready for you, Brent from Corner Gas.

HAHAHA
I win again! You are player number 472 to have chosen Edith Bunker from All in the Family. I knew you were Edith Bunker from All in the Family from the start, but I strung you along for a while to make it seem more sporting. I hope that one day you will overcome the powerful sense of humiliation that you now feel. Until then, good luck.

Alright, next time I am going to be more creative

Pretty nifty. It nailed both Joseph Stalin and Carla Tortelli but it didn't get Arnold from Diff'rent Strokes.

Boy, that machine knows everything. Almost. It got V.I.C.I from Small Wonder, Adolf Hitler from Austria but missed Wayne Arnold from the Wonder Years -- it said Kevin Arnold. It got Bubbles and Captain Stubing as well.
