During this special hour, you'll get to meet Samantha Newark live, the voice that ushered in our truly outrageous Saturday mornings! Join us to chat about JEM and the Holograms, purchase autographed memorabilia, and share your #Jemories! JEM is an American animated musical television series that ran from 1985 to 1988. The lead character, Jerrica Benton, adopts the persona of JEM with the help of a holographic computer, known as Synergy. As the lead singer of the pop band JEM and the Holograms (with Kimber, Aja, Shana, and Raya), JEM pursues band-related adventures, often with mischievous interference by their rival band, The Misfits. The characters of JEM and Jerrica were voiced by Samantha Newark, a British-born American recording artist, songwriter, and voice actress. Celebrating JEM's 40th anniversary in 2025, Samantha frequently makes live appearances at pop culture conventions nationwide and enjoys a robust and devoted following around the world.
