the pleasure is all ours mr brady please
call me tom
can i call you tom too well of course
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 20
celebrities who played themselves on
family guy we now return to brian
cranston sneezes
thank you for this list we'll be
exploring seth macfarlane's hit animated
sitcom to find even more of the best
guest stars to have lampooned themselves
over the show's many seasons which of
these guest stars is your favorite let
us know in the comments
number 20 kiss didn't see you come in
we're just getting into shape for our
upcoming tour after peter finds out that
his favorite band is coming to new
england for a concert he gets himself
and lois tickets only to discover a
harrowing truth lois doesn't actually
like kiss this is a secret he learns
when she bombs the lyrics to rock and
roll all night
[Music]
and half alpine
time well it's not the first time kiss
appeared as themselves on the show paul
stanley and gene simmons used their
voices hysterically in this episode rock
and roll
why why don't you just sit in the corner
huh simmons especially brings in the
laughs hilariously brooding through the
entire run time whether he's being
disappointed at freely's stupidity or
losing faith in humanity after someone
doesn't know the lyrics to his song oh
man i've lost all faith in mankind music
is dead to me now number 19 alyssa
milano in one of the rare instances of
using live-action sequences on family
guy famed child actress and tv star
alyssa milano appeared as herself taking
the brunt of a joke made it her expense
since i became president profits have
been higher than alyssa milano
what kind of cheap shot joe i'm suing
him suing i'm on it i'm on it in a
hilarious cartoon meets real life
scenario an upset milano orders her
lawyer ever present at a desk behind her
couch to sue the show's producers for
their tasteless jab this fourth wall
breaking tactic functions as a perfect
bit of pop culture commentary on
celebrities tendencies toward the
dramatic and in retrospect also works as
a parody of the times that family guy
has actually been sued number 18. alex
trebek seth mcfarlane gave life to a
suspicion that more than a few have
surely had while watching jeopardy when
the late host alex trebek appeared on
family guy as himself kind of adam what
was your response
zela
insinuating that trebek may be a being
from the fifth dimension he's quickly
dispatched by contestant adam west
during final jeopardy after the mayor of
quahog's answer kevert zella alex trebek
spelled backwards is said aloud sending
the unfortunate game show host back
where he belongs as outrageous as it
sounds the joke became meme-worthy in
2007 when a jeopardy contestant gave a
similar response on the air to test
mayor west's theory needless to say it
didn't work so i will go back to another
dimension as soon as we deal with the
other players you have no money left
number 17. fred savage fred savage once
achieved worldwide fame for his role as
kevin arnold in the wonder years but he
went in other directions following the
show's end
fred savage in the family guy universe
however savage has been acting on a
whole other level throughout the years
with complex costumes as michael moore
tony danza and lars ulrich it's amazing
how savage can poke fun at his own less
than it used to be acting career and the
episode showcases a perfect blend of the
pop culture commentary and outlandish
humor that family guy is known for i was
hungry to do more acting but the
pickings were slim so i came up with
this scheme to satisfy my need to
perform and i guess it got a little out
of hand number 16. tony sarico this next
entry is less about family guy and more
la familia what do you hear
what do you say the late tony sarico
played fan favorite character paulie
galtieri in hbo's the sopranos and like
many characters in that show he's got a
bit of a temper now chris this is brazil
before the invention of the soccer ball
in the family guy episode stewie chris
and brian's excellent adventure stewie
makes a joke about various countries
origins and the stereotypical features
that they've come to be known for and
italy before pasta hey oh vowel sound
when he takes aim at italians for making
vowel sounds and being ridiculous
sariko's polly comes to their defense
hey family guy you're lucky i got a man
of guts in the oven or i'd bash your
face into a bolognese if being one of
tony soprano's henchmen wasn't
intimidating enough already paulie helps
us visualize his anger using a couple of
trademark dishes that's two kinds of
food
that's how angry i am number 15. chevy
chase and dan aykroyd well mr griffin
this has been a lot of fun a lot of fun
while their performances may have been
straighter than you'd expect it's simply
amazing to see or at least hear these
two snl alums acting beside each other
again when the two actors mysteriously
move into cleveland's old house stewie
and brian become suspicious eventually
discovering that the two are spies hired
by ronald reagan who enlisted their help
after watching spies like us so the long
and the veiny of it is you're gonna help
us out right the situation is wacky
enough but the painfully straight way
that aykroyd and chase play the
situation makes it even funnier for
those of us who are nostalgic for 80s
comedy this reunion is a dream come true
the phrase is gosh that italian family
at the next table sure is quiet you see
the us government believes that one of
these sleeper agents is right here in
quahog number 14. betty white an erotic
novel being read by an elderly woman
this looks like a job for betty white
hired to perform the audiobook version
of peter griffin's dirty novel the hot
chick who was italian or maybe some kind
of spanish the multiple primetime emmy
award winner and comedian extraordinaire
put her unique brand of octogenarian
charm to hilarious use in the episode
pete erotica chapter one
oh god you should have seen this one hot
chick she was totally italian
or maybe some kind of spanish oh yeah
far from a hot reading the brief gag is
made even funnier after the golden girl
star's monotonous reading causes a
deadly car accident to top that off
white's apparent lack of knowledge of
the audiobook made for even more laughs
number 13. carol channing and we're back
with fox celebrity boxing with mike
tyson and carol channing carol channing
was one of the most prominent theater
performers of all time she was inducted
into the american theater hall of fame
won a golden globe and a tony and
received the prestigious lifetime
achievement tony award so it only makes
sense that family guy portrays her as a
badass boxer right come here young man
i'm gonna bop you one of course it makes
absolutely no sense but that's why it's
so funny the fact that the tony
award-winning channing was 84 years old
at the time of recording an episode of
family guy only proves how awesome and
open she was as a performer up yours
young people you and your rock and roll
eight-track cakes number 12. jennifer
love hewitt peter this is our niece
jennifer love ewit in a turn of events
that would make some men jealous peter
griffin managed to score a hot date with
actress jennifer love hewitt in the
episode stuck together torn apart cast
as a relative to the socially awkward
goldman family hewitt and the highly
uncouth peter are paired together after
a trial separation between the griffin
parents full of gross-out gags peter's
general ignorance and disgusting public
behavior inexplicably turns the ghost
whisperer star on
that's it you have got to be the most
vile disgusting human being i've ever
met and i have never been more turned on
in my life leading a jealous lois
griffin to goad hewitt into a banana
cream pie cat fight talk about a
celebrity with a good sense of humor
number 11. hugh hefner hey there son
mind if i have a seat who knew that hugh
hefner liked to randomly walk around
airports with his playboy bunnies after
quagmire drowns his sorrows at an
airport bar heff randomly shows up
complete with his signature pipe
bathrobe and sailor's cap he then tells
quagmire a touching story about the
actor john holmes and his fondness for
quagmire's piloting abilities glenn
quagmire is the best damn pilot i've
ever seen the totally nonchalant way
that hefner plays this completely bogus
and inappropriate story is truly
hilarious and it shows that hefner was
not just a businessman and a playboy but
a funny man as well excuse me heff
i got a plane to land number 10 tom
brady thanks tom i'm fond of your hair
as well i'm standing here with tom brady
peter griffin's obsession with the new
england patriots is well known to family
guy fans in patriot games he got to live
out his dream of playing for the team
alongside legendary pat's quarterback
tom brady whose humble and sportsmanlike
approach clashes heavily with peter's
classic obnoxiousness griffin let go
let's go
things come to a head when the athlete
is invited to a dinner from hell at the
griffin household where he's objectified
by pretty much every member of the
family just a little spot it'll come out
well that's not gonna come out you
better take a shower brady's appearance
would later be complimented by fellow
patriots teammate rob gronkowski who
also appeared as himself on the 2017
episode gronk house bees we wanted to
welcome you to the neighborhood awesome
aha you spiked it i was hoping he would
do that in my eyes number nine the star
trek the next generation cast i did it
the cast of star trek the next
generation is here to answer my
questions patrick stewart can be a
really funny guy but with the rest of
the star trek the next generation cast
he's even funnier this was the first
time in seven years that the cast had
all worked together actually it was 19
for denise crosby but either way it was
well worth the wait but you're a baby
yes that's right denise crosby stewie
teleports them to his house to hang out
with them but they only end up annoying
him by acting difficult and childish i
want some mcnuggets we'll get to you
brent i want a hamburger no a
cheeseburger this includes asking for
silly items at mcdonald's and refusing
to pay a dollar fifty for bowling shoes
now why exactly can i not wear my
loafers what is the danger there this
isn't what anyone was expecting from a
reunion but we love it all the same i
have to pee again that's it goodbye
number eight luke perry luke perry made
a huge splash in the early 90s starring
as the desirable bad boy dylan mckay in
the hit show beverly hills 90210 yet in
the anything goes tradition of family
guy perry's caught off guard after a
bogus piece of yellow journalism
published by peter griffin of course
outs the actor meg griffin you are so
sued regardless of fact versus fiction
luke perry plays along with every joke
thrown his way from his tendency towards
celebrity arrogance to his eventual
secret fling with mayor adam west making
perry a good sport and one of family
guy's earliest guests to star as himself
well look if you're gay that's cool but
i am not and even if i was come on i'm
luke perry i get a much better gay guy
than you number seven ryan reynolds hi
there excuse me i seem to be lost can
you guys help me when ryan reynolds
shows up in rhode island to film a movie
wherein he plays hitler with a rockin
bod ryan immediately takes an interest
in peter and moves into cleveland's
house across the street he then proceeds
to act in a suggestive manner towards
peter including mentioning his
low-hanging pants and engaging in a
tickle fight all while desperately
pleading for peter to avoid his ticklish
lower abdomen be the worst time for you
to tickle my lower abdomen because it's
so exposed because i'm cheering yeah
reynolds is always a good sport and this
appearance shows how he always seems to
be up for a laugh at his own expense
well freeze frame what's gonna happen
next
i think i gotta go to the bathroom
number six rush limbaugh controversial
radio and television personality rush
limbaugh appeared a few times on family
guy each time delving deeper into self
parody at his own expense
wtat tatooine's all talk radio my good
friends the liberal galactic media is at
it again they never stop over his
multiple family guy appearances limbaugh
poked fun in his controversial
statements that led to his resignation
from espn his highly conservative
political stance and his alignment with
fox news of course seth macfarlane
pushes things even further when he adds
in a potential relationship with michael
moore who is actually fred savage but
really it's limbaugh's good natured
ability to laugh at himself seen again
when he voices the rancor that lends to
his credibility on the series
rule number one no tax dodging jedis in
my pit number five frank sinatra jr love
is lovelier
sinatra may not have been as funny as
the other guest stars but he made a
mesmerizing impression nonetheless with
his terrific voice and animated stage
presence but the thing that tops it all
is when we swing
sinatra made a few appearances
throughout the show's run singing many
well-known songs with both stewie and
brian including second time around and
even some originals like at frank
sinatra's restaurant the wine is red
with lots of bread
and portions bigger than a horse's head
you'll burp up sausages tonight in bed
at frank sinatra's restaurant
family guy is well known for its musical
numbers but having a legend son as a
guest star is even better it fits with
the show's penchant for 50 swing numbers
and gave a fantastic performer a chance
to shine even if he was animated well
fellas we gave it our best shot if you
need me i'll be back in palm springs
number four bob barker former game show
host and tv personality bob barker is
not one to back down when invited to
play himself in movies and television
he's done so three times on family guy
alone all right donnie make sure the
wheel goes all the way around always
portraying himself as the face of the
price is right barker often plays on his
famous catchphrases from his tenure as a
show host but one of his most memorable
appearances happened during the season 7
episode tales of a third grade nothing
in which barker keeps his cool when
speaking to prince who quietly mumbles
everything he says 350. i'm sorry
can you speak up please
all right and the actual retail price of
the dining room set is 350.
also of note is that bob barker's
eventual replacement drew carey also
appeared on family guy as the host of
the price is right spin it go ahead
peter closer you can to a dollar without
going over number three james woods hi
how are you hello everyone james woods
is no stranger to the world of quahog
he's voiced himself for eight episodes
throughout the show's run so far and no
matter what episode you choose he is
always hilarious oh piece of candy
ooh a piece of candy
oh a piece of candy ooh a piece of candy
it's simply amazing that one of the
show's breakout celebrity guests is
someone so totally out of left field and
such an unlikely fit with the show's
target demographic hey what's up
douchebags i'm here to audition for this
stupid pilot crotchety though he may
seem he's clearly a good sport about
whatever situation he's put in whether
he's following a trail of reese's pieces
like e.t or being resurrected via a 17
year old woman's life force
hey i'm gonna check back into my hotel
oh screw that you'll stay with me right
here come on we'll have a camp out in
the yard wicked cool number two liam
neeson i will find you
and i will kill you leave it to family
guy to ask the question is liam neeson a
fake tough guy such were the stakes in
the season 13 episode fighting irish
when the well-known irish actor traveled
to quahog to shoot a film about a
vengeance-crazed albert einstein i hear
you've been all over town saying you
could kick my arse
well there's no time like the present
accepting jabs about both his newfound
fame as an action star as well as the
heartfelt roles that have defined his
career neeson channels his more typecast
parts from movies like the taken series
grunting out his lines like brian mills
go to the gym kneel down in the shower
and ask strange man to pee in your
cupped hands neeson is hilarious and
seemingly let the writing room's
imagination run wild his obsession with
having peter collect other people's
urine certainly made for some
interesting plot development hey man did
liam neeson send you
yeah he loves them little cars before we

number one adam west prepare to meet
your maker at the hands of my cat
launcher the late adam west was once
known only as batman but he made his
mark in the new millennium with family
guy by voicing a bizarro version of
himself and completely revitalized his
career in the process
in the show's world he's the bumbling
mayor of quahog and every scene he's in
is bound to be one filled with happiness
and laughter well time to put on my
spaghetti hat
west had no barrier regarding the things
he would say including showing up in a
random sequence with rob lowe making him
not only the best family guy celebrity
star but also one of the show's very
best characters period
we're big hollywood actors
yeah we are
