Q: Who played the principal in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"?
That question's not as simple as it sounds. Not surprisingly, the show set (mostly) at a high school actually had a lot of principals. It's not a position that normally has a lot of turnover, but when your school is situated on top of the mouth of hell, it's apparently harder to keep someone in the job.
Buffy Summers' (Sarah Michelle Gellar, "Cruel Intentions," 1999) school had three principals during the show's seven-season run, and to complicate things more, that required four actors.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
We've now learned that Rudy [Giuliani] was unmasked during last week's taping of ["The Masked Singer's"] first episode of Season 7. A truly shocking revelation. I can't believe "The Masked Singer" has had seven seasons! ... A lot of people are mad about this ... but keep in mind it may not be the producers' fault. It's possible that Rudy just wandered onto the Fox lot and passed out in a costume.
