In 'The Waldo Moment', what is the name of the comedian who voices Waldo?

In “The Waldo Moment,” the comedian who voices Waldo is Jamie Salter.

Jamie is played by Daniel Rigby. He is an unhappy comedian who performs the voice and movements of Waldo, a vulgar blue animated bear appearing on a topical comedy programme. Waldo initially interviews public figures under the guise of children’s entertainment before becoming involved in a local parliamentary by-election.

Jamie’s personal identity is important because Waldo’s popularity begins to eclipse him. Television executives and political strategists treat the animated character as a more useful public figure than the reluctant comedian behind it. Jamie becomes increasingly uncomfortable when Waldo is turned into a political candidate, but his objections come too late to stop the campaign.

A common mix-up is confusing Jamie with Liam Monroe, the Conservative politician Waldo attacks. Liam is one of Waldo’s targets and election opponents, not the performer. The episode’s premise also resembles later debates about internet personalities and fictional avatars entering politics.
