I forgot about that one. Just another one in a long list of Beaver's boner moves.

Yeah, Beav had a good heart but he was not the brightest of kids. Then again, if he never made dumb mistakes or didn't get roped into problems by his friends, there'd be no stories.

Cool link.
I used to watch this show every week, but didn't recall all the guests 'till now.

Considering it's popularity, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned The Big Bang Theory, which may be second only to Larry Sanders for the amount of real people playing themselves, almost entirely from the world of geekdom and science. Stephen Hawking alone may be the all-time most impressive "get" in this category.

Don't forget his cameo in Star Trek:TNG.

Never watched it - didn't know that!

John Wayne in The Beverly Hillbillies.

Gloria Swanson also played herself on The Beverly Hillbillies, as RBailey's post reminded me - and didn't she also do one of Lucy's shows as well ?

 

[Tommy R]

How about Neil Patrick Harris in the Harold and Kumar movies?

Definitely, but he played a different version of himself in those movies.

Richard Arlen and Charles "Buddy" Rogers, the stars of the first Academy Award winner for Best Picture, WINGS (1927) playing themselves as they attend a long-delayed premiere in Hooterville in a 1968 episode of PETTICOAT JUNCTION.

I Love Lucy, as well.

I googled her and didn't come up with anything.
Are you perhaps thinking of Tallulah Bankhead?

 

[Rob W]

I Love Lucy had Van Johnson, William Holden, Eve Arden, & Harpo Marx among other stars during the Hollywood season.

Funny you should ask right now - I just realised I was confusing Swanson with Joan Crawford and was about to post a correction. Isn't there a Lucy episode where she shows germaphobe Crawford how to clean her house ? I'm fuzzy on the details but I think it was a Lucy Show, not the ILL show. Or possibly Here's Lucy ?

You're correct about Tallulah as well .
