Best Cameo Appearance of All Time?
5/26/06 | Reaganesque

It's the beginning of the Memorial Day weekend. We've had our silliness thread to start things off now, how about this:

Who do you think had the best cameo performance in any movie or TV show? You know, someone who had a bit part but stole the show for you.

I loved the cameo by the guy who played the T-1000 in Wayne's World. He was the perfect guy to play a Los Angeles cop. Mary Lou Retten as Tiny Tim in Scrooged.

Bob Hope. "Spies Like Us".

there an old Bob Hope movie (not a road Pic... think is was "Paleface" or some other western) that Bob is out in the desert in the sand and Bing Crosby comes by with a golf club and ask to "play through"

Harris on Barney Miller doing a cameo in the porno movie he was producing as part of a sting.

Barney: "Harris!"

Harris: "Hitchcock does it!"

Sean Connery as Richard the Lionhearted, in Kevin Costner's wretched version of Robin Hood.

Another great "Newhart" cameo:

Jack Reilly (Mr. Carlin from the "Bob Newhart Show") is talking to a psychologist about a doctor in Chicago who really screwed him up.

Movie cameos? Hmmm, don't know if it counts as a cameo (it was more of an unbilled supporting part) would be Bill Murray in "Tootsie". (Several actors have done this when they didn't think the billing would be suitable at that point in their careers, but it was a *good* role.)

I'll have to think about this. (Someone should link this thread into tonight's Freeper Canteen!)

I loved John Astin in his cameos on "Night Court". I use his ongoing line all the time. " I'm feeling MUCH better, NOW." (since being released from the asylum)

While not technically a "cameo", I would say Suzanne Pleshette in the final episode of Newhart. Sort of a cameo-cameo.

Another "Newhart" cameo was Johnny Carson. Bob was complaining about his high gas bill. Larry said he didn't need to worry about his as Johnny Carson paid theirs. Dick didn't seem to believe him. Later in the episode, Larry handed him his gas bill with "Johnny Carson paid this bill" written on it. Dick wasn't impressed as it wasn't exactly proof.

At the end of the show, an angry Johnny storms into the Inn as says "which one of you yahoos called my friends Larry, Daryl, and Daryl liars?" He tears into Bob, who says nothing. Larry tells Johnny that they have to get him on the shuttle back to Burbank.

Daffy Duck playing a duet with Donald Duck in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

I saw "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" in the theater when it was first release and people now swear he didn't say it and they may of edited it out of later release and the DVD ....but....

At the end of the scene as Daffy (a black duck) is doing a showboat jam on the piano...Donald grumbles under his breath "G-- D-- N-(word)..."

Yes I know Urban legends contends it didn't happen or you heard wrong... but I remember is very well and remember the others in the theaters look at each other saying "Did Donald just say what I thought he did?"
