The National Receptionists Association has declared today National Receptionists Day, a holiday to show our appreciation for the "front line personnel responsible for making a positive first impression for the company. Receptionists are also the person at the front desk, information desk, concierge, telephone operators, maitre d', and many others who are the first to greet and welcome customers, clients and the public to the company."

In honor of the holiday, here's a list of AOL TV's five favorite TV receptionists. Did your favorite make the list? Any egregious snubs? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Erin, 'The Office'
Like Pam before her, Erin is Dunder Mifflin's loyal receptionist and number one Michael Scott confidant. She might not be the brightest bulb, but she's willing to learn.


Michel, 'Gilmore Girls'
Though the snooty French concierge of the Independence Inn seemed to hate everything around him, we know he had a soft spot for his kooky boss Lorelai. He also had the best one-liners.

Megan, 'Mad Men'
Don Draper's wife-to-be started out as Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce's front desk girl before moving on to become Don's secretary and then his fiance. Talk about upward mobility.


Jerry, 'ER'
There would be no 'ER' without Jerry. Yes, the beloved desk clerk gave so much comic relief to the series. When he was fired, it was painful. When he returned, it was a joyous day. The lovable giant and his sidekick Frank are the stuff of desk clerk legends.


Amanda, 'Ugly Betty'
Mode magazine's scheming receptionist and her BFF Marc would stop at nothing to take down Betty, her ultimate rival. That is, until she begrudgingly came around to Betty's earnest charm.
