Ready For Primetime (also called "Not Ready For Primetime" in the DVD commentary for Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes) is the newest member of the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes cast. He debuted in the Strong Bad Email haircut.

The name "Ready For Primetime" is derived from "haircut" when Strong Bad says "And don't forget: the 'Ready for Primetime.'" before drawing Ready For Primetime onto a photo of Strong Mad's face. When Strong Mad suggested a resemblance to one of the "SWEETIE CAKES" characters, Strong Bad drew a rough Eh! Steve! in the corner of the photo and murmured "Eh! Greg", but the DVD commentary for the email confirms that the character's name is in fact "Ready For Primetime."

The name may also be a reference to the early days of the NBC television show Saturday Night Live, the cast of which was once known as the "Not Ready For Primetime Players".
