(Removed the TVTropes "media-type" names)
Line 8:
 
* ''I am the Greatest! The Adventures of Muhammed Ali'', with [[Muhammed Ali]].
* '[[Western Animation]]/'[[Life With Louie]]'' with Louie Anderson.
* Pamela Anderson was a stripper at night and fought crime later at night in ''[[Stripperella]]''.
* ''[[Little Rosey]]'' with Roseanne Barr.
Line 27:
* ''[[Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic]]'' featured pop-singer-turned-magician Mariko Itakura, a.k.a. Princess Tenko.
* ''[[The Lebrons (web animation)|The Lebrons]]'' with LeBron James
* ''[[Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist|Dr. Katz Professional Therapist]]'' - comic Jonathan Katz and plenty of comic patient/guest stars.
* ''[[Bobby's World]]'' with Howie Mandel (who not only appeared as himself in liveaction against animated bookends but also voiced the title character and the title character's dad, [[The Danza|Howard]]).
* ''[[Click and Clack's As the Wrench Turns|Click and Clacks As The Wrench Turns]]'' with Tom and Ray Magliozzi of ''[[Car Talk]]'' fame as [[Ink Suit Actor]]s.
* ''[[Hammerman]]'' with MC Hammer.
* ''[[Gravedale High|Rick Moranis in Gravedale High]]''. Another odd case as Ricki Lake (the star of ''Hairspray'' and later the host of her own talk show) was the voice of Cleofatra - but she wasn't the star of the show.
** Yeah, because Rick Moranis was, y'know the guy from the title, and Ricki Lake wasn't much of a celebrity at the time.
* ''[[Mister T (animation)|Mister T]]'', where [[Mr. T|the star]] of ''[[The A-Team]]'' ferries a gymnastics team, a young protégé who imitates everything he does, and an enormous mastiff with a spiked collar and a mohawk.
* ''[[Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos|Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos]]'' which not only has Chuck's voice but also has him in live action segments at the beginning and end, as did ''[[Mr. T]]'' (interestingly, both were from [[Ruby-Spears]]).
* ''[[Mary Kate and Ashley In Action]]'' featured the Olsen twins.
* ''[[Western Animation/The Completely Mental Misadventures Of Ed Grimley|The Completely Mental Misadventures Ofof Ed Grimley]]'' with Martin Short.
* Sgt. Slaughter in ''[[G.I. Joe]]''. NFL star William Perry aka "The Fridge" also had his own figure, but never actually appeared in the animated series.
* ''[[Western Animation/Waynehead|Waynehead]]'' is more or less based on the childhood of Damon Wayans.
* ''[[Bruno the Kid]]'' with [[Bruce Willis]].
** Enhanced by the fact that the title character's CG persona when talking to his employers was a pretty obvious Bruce Willis look-alike.
Line 51:
** Actually, it was said that when [[John Lennon]] stayed home as dad to son Sean, he watched the cartoons. And [[George Harrison]] was quoted as saying that the show was "[[So Bad It's Good|so bad or silly that it was good]] and maybe the passage of time would make them more fun today."
* Averted in ''[[Father of the Pride]]'', which "[[Not Quite Starring|features]]" Siegfried and Roy as ''supporting'' characters.
** IncidentiallyIncidentally, Siegfried and Roy had their own straight to video animated special, ''Siegfried and Roy: Masters of the Impossible'', which was produced by [[DiC Entertainment]] and released in 1996.
* ''[[The Harlem Globetrotters]]'' (later ''Go-Go Globetrotters'', an [[Animated Anthology]] with ''[[CB Bears]]'', ''[[The Herculoids]]'' and ''[[Space Ghost]]'') applied the same to, well, the Harlem Globetrotters (an "entertainment" basketball team). They later became the '''[[Recycled in Space|Super]]''' Globetrotters.
** These cartoon versions of these spacebound Globetrotters characters later appeared in the ''Futurama'' universe where there's an entire Planet Globetrotter.
