* [[The Gump]] - John is {{spoiler|Jesus, even though it's all pretty much a big misunderstanding}}.
** He also met Van Gogh and Buddha. But John also mentions that aside from those, it'd be incredibly difficult for him to know many histoical people, as he is just one man in one place at any given time, and he can't afford to attract too much attention to himself.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] - Richard Riehle (Will Gruber) is one of the other villagers in [[Star Trek the Next Generation|The Inner Light]], as well as Tom Smykowski in [[Office Space]].
** William Katt (Art) was [[The Greatest American Hero|Ralph Hinckley]].
** Ellen Crawford (Edith) was a nurse in [[ER]] called Lydia.

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really Fourteen Thousand Years Old]] - John looks 35, but is actually a good bit above just seven hundred.
