Administrators Gotta Administrate! The 20 Best Fictional Administrative Professionals

10. Lee Holloway – Secretary

9. Tess McGill – Working Girl

8. Pepper Potts – Iron Man

7. Stevie Janowski – Eastbound & Down

6. Murphy Brown’s secretary – Murphy Brown

Murphy had a quickly revolving secretary’s seat, 93 different ones to be exact.  The running gag became a great excuse to cast surprise guest stars in the role,  as Lily Tomlin, Bette Midler, JFK Jr., Pee Wee Herman, Don Rickles, and the actress who played Bob Newhart’s receptionist, Carol, all filled the role at some point.  Bob Newhart even made a cameo on Murphy Brown to retrieve Carol in one episode.

5. Maria Hill – The Avengers

4. Selina Kyle – Batman Returns

3. Waylon Smithers – The Simpsons

2. Joan Harris – Mad Men

1. Janine Melnitz – Ghostbusters

Honorable Mention:

Cerie – 30 Rock

Betty Suarez – Ugly Betty

Jane Moneypenny – James Bond

Dawn Tinsley – The Office (UK)

Lucy Carmichael – The Lucy Show

Donna Moss – The West Wing

Radar O’Reilly – M*A*S*H

Jane Hathaway – The Beverly Hillbillies

And special shout-outs to Saul Goodman’s administrative assistant “Honey Tits” (it’s a term of endearment) on Breaking Bad.
