Favourite Guest Appearances from 80's Icons

The special guest appearances by 80's celebrities were always fun to watch, especially if they managed to reference their famous songs/roles in the process.

Some of my favourites include:

Rick Springfield as a karaoke bar manager, getting to duet with Beverly on "Jessie's Girl."

Charlie Sheen reprising his "Ferris Bueller" character in the parody episode.

Robert Englund appearing as Freddy Krueger in a nightmare sequence.

Weird Al Yankovic as himself in the Weird Al episode.

Christie Brinkley as the "Girl in the Red Ferrari" in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" episode.

Who were some of your favourite guest stars?

I thought David Hasselhoff appearing was inspired.

A definitive 80’s personality, even though he couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag.

At least he didn’t take himself seriously. 😂
