20 Craziest Cameos On That 70s Show
The Rock guest stars as...his own father?
Here’s the unspoken joy of rewatching an old television series – you can play the game of picking out all the celebrity cameos before they were household names. Case in point, Seinfeld is one of the most renowned sitcoms for having famous faces before they were really famous appear on the show – Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston, Friends’ Courtney Cox, Gilmore Girls’ Lauren Graham, Frasier’s Jane Leeves etc. it’s always a nice surprise to see an unexpected familar face in your favourite television programmes.
And it’s the same with That ‘70s Show, except the producers are actually really smart with choosing their guest appearances. Being a comedy that is namely set in the 1970s, the cameos are often comprised of celebrities who were already famous from that era. The writers have a way of clever way of writing little gags based around their stardom whilst still paying tribute to their legacy.
But it's not just iconic stars of the 1970s. Many of the celebrity guests were just starting out as jobbing actors on their episode appearance and have since grown in fame, making their minor roles in the show all the more enjoyable.
