Vanessa ( vanessa@supraprod.com )
Vanessa Amezquita began her media debut after creating her own radio show in 1998 using only a ghetto blaster recorder, a Maxwell blank tape, and her various character voices. It stirred up many laughs at her local high school, and gave Vanessa hopes of someday working in television or comedy- or maybe a combination of the two.
While working as a productions assistant for Good Day Sacramento she joined forces with Jason Warfe’s sketch comedy group ‘Supra Productions’, and just like Voltron, their combined power got the public watching. She hopes this sketch comedy thing gets her somewhere because she’s sick and tired of the random and extremely violent phone calls Jason makes, threatening her to get her damn butt to work. Haha, just kidding. Vanessa loves coming up with new skit ideas, but often times Jason steals them from her and takes credit for them! She gets much of her inspiration from Saturday Night Live, Conan O’Brien, Upright Citizens Brigade, Mr.Show (thanks to Jason), Mad TV, and various comics that tickle her fancy.

Troy ( mail@supraprod.com )
Troy and Jason have been friends since 1984. Being around each other for that long, they naturally find the same things funny. When not making total asses of themselves at any given sushi bar or making badass retro T-shirts, they get together and shoot sketches. Troy first appeared in Supra Ten, where he played the guy who had a urinary tract infection. The small role garnered big laughs, and Troy is featured more prominently in Supra Stupid. When Troy and Jason get together they form the Voltron of ridiculousness.

Lou ( mail@supraprod.com )
A long time ago, the Lou had aspirations. Now, he just seems to perspire, languishing in his own failure. Founder of, the now defunct, mediocre @ best entertainment, he quickly realized that if you don't produce a damn thing, you don't get to call it a production company. With nothing in production down in La La land, the Lou was then forced to return to Sacramento to work in the lowliest of the lowly. No, not porn, though that would at least pay quite a bit. I'm talking the real low with no respectability at all, local TV news. Returned he has, and with no possible route of escape from the daily torture of breaking news that broke several days ago, his dreams packed away in boxes never to be seen from again. His only hope now lays with this sad and motley crew of miscreants that is SUPRAPROD! Upon learning this, the Lou only had this to say, "Woe is me. Lord take me now. I'm ready."

Jim ( mail@supraprod.com )
Jim works with Vanessa, Jason, and Lisa. At work, he is simply known as "prompter man," where he is continuously yelled at by the anchors when the teleprompter fails to work, regardless if it's his fault or not. "Hey...hey prompter man...what are you doing back there" is a phrase Jim often hears. After countless hours of begging Jason to put him in skits, Jim finally made his debut in "Supra Ten." He is featured in the popular skit "The Progession of the dating phone call."
