Oh, I’d say anyone with a pulse. Bill Corbett was great as Brain Guy, but he just seemed a pale imitation of Trace when he picked up the puppet. His humor wasn’t as caustic, and his delivery wasn’t as biting. It’s not quite the same p*ssing contest that the “Joel vs. Mike,” “Erhardt vs. TV’s Frank” or “Old Servo vs. New Servo” battles are, because in each of those cases, the characters were completely different. Bill’s Crow is so obviously a variation of Trace’s approach that comparisons are inevitable, and I can’t see anyone (except for the post-Trace Brains) thinking otherwise.
