** And Gore has hosted a season 28 Christmas episode of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', and cameoed on a season 35 episode where he outlines his plans to act crazy (such as taping toy guns to trees and planting the trees outside a politician's house so when he walks outside, he'll think the trees have come to get their revenge) so people will take his environmental views seriously. |

*** Of course, ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' has had a lot of politicians (and political hopefuls) host and/or cameo in its 30+ years on the air, as you can see here [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live_hosts#Political_figures], but does anyone remember Barack Obama cameoing on the Brian Williams episode from season 33 (a full year before Obama would become President)? |

* Ronald and Nancy Reagan appeared in ''Ed the Happy Clown'' by Chester Brown, but they deliberately look nothing like their Real World counterparts. The prime minister of Canada shows up, too. Further subverted by the fact that {{spoiler|the talking head of a "Dimension X" version of Reagan ''appears on Ed the Happy Clown's penis''.}} |

* As mentioned above, Obama appeared in ''[[Savage Dragon]]'' but he was not the first president to appear in the pages of that series. Both [[Bill Clinton]] and [[George W. Bush]] have appeared in the past. |

* Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy had a brief [[The Cameo|cameo]] (with one, defiant line) as a guest at Bruce Wayne's party in ''[[The Dark Knight]]''; it's unclear whether or not he's supposed to be playing himself, although it's certainly possible. Leahy is a big fan of Batman, so... [[Ascended Fanboy]], anyone? |
