10 Amy Poehler ('SpongeBob SquarePants')

7 Michelle Obama ('iCarly')
How did the United States' First Lady end up on iCarly? Michelle Obama appears on the series to give an encouraging message for children in military families. It was an absurd appearance because, as Huffington Post reported, tension grew as the Secret Service swept the studio before Obama stepped in.
"It was weird because we were nervous at the beginning, but after a while, to know that she’s a normal person, it was kind of funny," said Miranda Cosgrove. "We sort of stopped thinking about the fact that she was the First Lady and just had a really good time."
6 Shaquille O'Neal ('Cousin Skeeter')

The four-time NBA champion appears on Nickelodeon's Cousin Skeeter episode, "Air Skeeter," where Skeeter outshines Bobby in basketball. In fact, according to IMDb,O'Neal has a directing credit for 'Mo' Better Skeeter' episode from the series, which aired in September 1998.

3 Minka Kelly ('Drake & Josh')
If you know her as Dawn Granger from DC's Titans or North from Detroit: Become Human, Minka Kelly was already making it big way before then.
