* Barack Obama invited the ''[[Myth Busters]]'' to the White House library to request they retest "Archimedes Death Ray"
* Tony Blair appeared on the Simpsons once. Like, the actual Tony Blair. Details [[wikipedia:The Regina Monologues#Production|here.]]
* Tony Blair also appeared as himself in a Catherine Tate sketch for Red Nose, meeting her sixteen-year-old schoolgirl chav, Lauren Cooper: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkjvagVsRI\]. Can I just add he was actually the ''Prime Minister of Britain'' at the time.

* Former Swedish prime minister Göran Persson at one point appeared on a kid's show, and danced with a woman in a cow-suit.
* Al Gore appeared on the [[Executive Meddling|network-mandated]] [[Green Aesop|green episode]] of ''[[30 Rock

Now that ''would'' have got Chavez pissed off.
