unlikely children's show characters/voices

[visualpoet]

I've got four kids, so I see and hear a lot of kids shows. I'm occasionally surprised by the people on the shows.

I've seen:
George Carlin and Ringo Starr both on Thomas the Tank
Biz Markie on Yo Gabba Gabba
Tone Loc on Chowder (he's the voice of a character called Chestnut)

Has anyone else seen any other unlikely characters like this?

Yeah, George Carlin was Mr Conductor.

Mark Hamill, the guy who played Luke in the original Star Wars movies, used to be the voice of The Joker on the older, mid-90s Batman cartoon.

Mila Kunis**

Many ppl might not know this one, but...

Matt Frewer(Neighbor-dad in "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" and in SciFi series "PSI Factor")
He did the voice of the newer Pink Panther cartoon.

Yeah, not really what I'm looking for. None of those are quite the same as Biz Markie (himself, not just a voice) on a show for pre schoolers. lol

[MikeW]

So youre talking about them being on the show as themselves or live action?

Carlin, Starr and Markie were live actors, but played characters.
Loc is just the voice though.
It's always struck me as odd that these guys got gigs on children's shows; not preteen or adolescent shows. CHILDREN, from 3-6 years old!
Imagine my surprise when I turned on the tv and there's George "the seven words you can't say on television" Carlin on the show my toddler loves!

Well off the top of my head, i cant think of any other than the ones mentioned as i dont get the chance to catch television for the 3-6 age range, lol.
