Characters in FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman
And here come the contestants now!
Voiced by: Jim Conroy

The host of the show.


  • Game Show Host: The title says it all.
  • Large Ham: What's Ruff without this?
  • Insistent Terminology: As established in the first episode, he doesn't like it when Studio G is called a garage.
    Ruff: All right, rule number one! We never refer to Studio G as "the garage", okay? It makes me a little insecure.
