Sally Shock is a recurring character primarily known from her appearances in the television series "SCTV" (Second City Television). While not a consistent cast member, Sally Shock was portrayed by actress Andrea Martin.

The character is a parody of a sensationalistic, often exploitative, local news reporter. Sally Shock is typically seen delivering on-the-scene reports from outlandish or exaggerated events, often presented in a deliberately over-dramatic and histrionic manner. Her stories tend to focus on the bizarre and unusual, regardless of their actual newsworthiness.

Sally Shock's persona is characterized by her energetic delivery, breathless pronouncements, and commitment to hyperbole. She often interviews equally eccentric characters, further amplifying the comedic effect. The character serves as a commentary on the media's tendency towards sensationalism and the pursuit of ratings through outrageous stories.
