Cheryl Tunt

Cheryl Tunt is a fictional character of the American adult animated sitcom Archer. Created by Adam Reed as one of the show's original supporting characters, she is voiced by Judy Greer and debuted in the series' pilot episode, "Mole Hunt", on September 17, 2009. Cheryl, the heiress of the wealthy Tunt family, is introduced as the incompetent personal assistant to Malory Archer (Jessica Walter). She is portrayed as an emotionally fragile, ditzy personality in Archer early years; among her attributes are her choking fetish and addiction to rubber cement. Archer subsequent years see her take on different occupations and personae—most notably aspiring country singer Cherlene in Archer Vice—as the show experiments with new ideas, character arcs and self-contained narratives. Her characterization has been well received by the media, as has Greer's acting. At the 39th Annie Awards, Greer received an Annie Award nomination for outstanding achievement in voice acting. Arc and personality Cheryl Tunt debuted in Archer first episode, "Mole Hunt", as the incompetent secretary of Malory Archer (Jessica Walter). Cheryl's early storylines focus on her attempts to sabotage Cyril Figgis' (Chris Parnell) relationship with Lana Kane (Aisha Tyler), whom she greatly despises. Cyril, emasculated by Lana and increasingly suspicious of her relationship with Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin), agrees to have sex with Cheryl. Paranoid that Lana may discover his infidelity, he distances himself from Cheryl afterward, much to her dismay. Cheryl threatens to tell Lana of their affair to force him into continuing it, although in a conversation with Pam Poovey (Amber Nash), she reveals her true intentions were to make Sterling jealous. Though Lana catches Cyril cheating with Framboise, the former human relations head at the Organization of Democratic Intelligence Networks (ODIN), Cheryl nonetheless reveals the affair to her, adding more tension to their rivalry.
