25 Fun Celebrity Cameos Where You'd Least Expect Them

Do you remember when everybody lost their minds of Ed Sheeran's cameo in Game of Thrones? The red-mopped musician in everyone's favorite “sword and naked people” soap opera led to a break in verisimilitude that was almost the “jumping the shark” of celebrity cameos in media. On the other side of the coin, the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to still be all over cameos-- Everyone going crazy in a good way when several surprising actors appeared in Doctor Strange 2: The Multiverse of Madness.

The following celebrity cameos (including another by Ed Sheeran) are a nice middle ground between those two extremes-- Celebrity cameos in film and television that made us say “Oh! That's fun!” Celebrities sitting on the vampire council in What We Do In The Shadows? Fun! Future Presidents appearing in Parks & Recreation? Fun! Dearly departed Jeopardy host Alex Trebek appearing in a 1990 episode of Cheers? What is fun!

25 Parks & Recreation / Bill Murray

COMEDY NERD Bill Murray himself once showed up in a cameo on Parks and Recreation. It wasn't easy to actually get him on the show-it took Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, and Aubrey Plaza all asking him to do it. CRACKED.COM — Source: 13 Cool Celebrity Sitcom Cameos We Totally Forgot About

24 Cheers! / Alex Trebek

COMEDY NERD Turns out, Alex Trebek had a cameo on Cheers! - he was in a 1990 episode. In What Is ...

13 The Force Awakens / Thomas Brodie-Sangster

Thomas Brodie-Sangster, AKA Jojen Reed from Game of Thrones, plays a First Order officer in The Force Awakens.

CRACKED.COM — Source: 12 Stealthy Celebrities Cameos In Films

12 Lucy Lawless / Spider-Man

2 Richard Branson / Casino Royale

Casino Royale features Sir Richard Branson as a traveller who gets stopped by airport security.
