'''Baxter Sarno''' is a {{RDM|Caprica}}-based comedian and late night talk show host of ''[[Backtalk with Baxter Sarno]]''. Sarno's major audience consists primarily of teenagers and college students. He is seen as anti-corporate, and he is a staunch critic of the [[holoband]] technology and the moral decline he perceives coming from its use {{CAP|Reins of a Waterfall|False Labor}}. 

Other than a scathing joke about his "first and third marriages" and a passing reference to a niece named Candice, details about his personal life are unknown {{CAP|Gravedancing|Apotheosis (episode)}}. 

== Noteworthy Involvement in Caprican Society ==

After [[Amanda Graystone]]'s ill-conceived declaration that [[Zoe Graystone]] was one of the bombers of the [[Maglev]] commuter train, he makes comical critiques and opines on the Graystones and their brand, in particular the said holoband technology. This forces [[Daniel Graystone]] to make his first ever appearance on the show to shift the blame from the holoband to his daughter. Sarno is pleasantly surprised when Daniel (with his wife, Amanda) declares that [[Graystone Industries]] will offer open access to the holoband technology and [[virtual world]] licensing, in addition to noting that any proceeds from sales of said technology will be donated to a charity fund {{CAP|Gravedancing}}.

Sarno later hosts Daniel's chief rival, [[Tomas Vergis]], on the show.  After gratefully receiving a gift of [[Tauron|Tauron]] cigars from his guest, Sarno's interview leads to the revelation that Vergis intends to become a citizen of Caprica {{CAP|Know Thy Enemy}}.

Several years after these events, Sarno conducts a special interview in the [[Graystone Estate]] with Daniel about the unprecedented popularity of [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] in Caprican society {{CAP|Apotheosis (episode)}}.

== Notes ==

* Sarno's critical eye also targets other colonies, referring to [[Picon]] as "barely a planet" in his monologue before introducing [[Daniel Graystone]] {{CAP|Gravedancing|del1=y}}.
* Patton Oswalt was one of the first ''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]'' major guest star castings to be announced<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2009/08/caprica-casting-news.html|title=Caprica - Casting News |date=August 21, 2009|accessdate=August 21, 2009|last=|first=|format=|language=English}}</ref><ref name ="recall">{{cite_web|url=http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2009/07/caprica-episode-102-rebirth-casting.html|title=Caprica - Episode 1.02 - Rebirth - Casting Call |date=July 2, 2009|accessdate=August 21, 2009|last=|first=|format=|language=English}}</ref>, prior to that of [[James Marsters]].
