Answer: Joey

Joey Tribbiani is an aspiring actor and one of the six main characters of the hit sitcom "Friends".

Answer: Barney Stinson

Barney Stinson spent most of the series trying to desperately cling on to his single status while dating a different woman in almost every episode.

Answer: Charlie Sheen

"Two and a Half Men" starts off with Alan Harper and his son Jake moving in to live with Alan's bachelor brother, Charlie post the former's divorce. Charlie lives a life filled with excesses ranging from women, alcohol, gambling and other hedonistic pleasures and is a polar opposite of his more conservative brother, Alan.

The role of Charlie Harper was played by Charlie Sheen for the first nine seasons until a dispute with the producers of the show led to him being fired.

Answer: NCIS

Tony DiNozzo, played by Michael Weatherly, is a senior field agent on the crime drama "NCIS". Never missing an opportunity to flirt with the women he meets, the character initially came under flak from certain sections of fans due to its excessive chauvinism. Tony's commitment phobia is evident in the fact that in the earlier part of the series, his romantic relationships never progressed beyond a certain point.

Answer: Ian Somerhalder

"The Vampire Diaries" is a television series adapted from the book series of the same name written by L.J. Smith. Ian Somerhalder plays Damon Salvatore, the principal antagonist in the initial parts of the series. Angered at being tricked into becoming a vampire by his brother Stefan, Damon sets out to ruin his brother. Damon eventually begins showing a nicer side when he falls in love with the show's female lead, Elena.

Answer: Jack Tripper

Jack, Chrissy and Janet were the three original roommates on "Three's Company". Despite their apartment having separate bedrooms for each of them, their landlord, Stanley Roper, was still unwilling to have co-eds living together. To get around this, Janet convinced Mr. Roper that Jack's presence should not be an issue as he was gay.

This led to several hilarious situations on the show given Jack's womanizing ways.

Answer: Jesse

Jesse Katsopolis (known as Jesse Cochran in season 1) moved in to live with Danny Tanner and his three daughters after their mother (his sister) died. Famous for his obsession with his hair and Elvis Presley, he had a variety of jobs including working for his father's extermination agency, being a part of a band and eventually hosting a radio show along with friend, Joey Gladstone.

When he first meets Rebecca, who is Danny's co-host on a television show, she is reluctant to date him because of his playboy reputation.

Answer: Raj Koothrappali

Leonard, Howard, Sheldon and Raj are all highly intelligent and accomplished in their areas of work. However, in keeping with the geek stereotype, their interpersonal skills are less than adequate, especially when it comes to their interactions with people outside their academic circle.

In the first six seasons of the series, Raj is shown to suffer from an anxiety disorder called selective mutism where he is unable to talk to or in front of women, unless he is drunk. It's not like the other three have a way with women, but at least they don't lose all speech capabilities in the presence of someone from the opposite gender. Considering some of the foot-in-the-mouth statements made by them though, maybe Raj's selective mutism is a better option.
