Ones that I know of are Bad Astronomer who runs a website by the same name and is seen on TV often debunking astronomical myths. And there was one guy who was a 5-time champion on Jeopardy!. ---

**aha** was a rock’n’roll star in the '60s, and we’ve got a few published authors, **Eve** being the only one I can think of right now. ---

Or me. I won the Nobel Prize in 2017 for my invention of time travel, and by spring of 2018, I was an international celebrity ;). And I think that **aha** , famed around here for being welcomed by Cecil, was a semi-famous rocker. But I don’t think he posts any more. ---

James Lileks, who’s semi-famous in the blog community, a syndicated newspaper columnist, and a published book author, registered here at one point, but I don’t think he ever posted. ---

Well, **Cecil Adams** posts here from time to time, can’t get bigger than that. And we’ve had various people stop in from time to time, for instance when their works was referenced in a Staff Report or Column. Lots of celebs (like, say, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show) probably stop in under a nomme du guerre. Or du plume. Or some sort of nomme. ---

Michael Moore had someone post here for him once. Is there any reason to beleive that Jon Stewart has posted here? **You** , reading this now! Are _you_ Jon Stewart? ---

This goes back a ways, but Jon Cryer was a guest back when we had regular chats. See Cecil’s article on [The Pompatus of Love.](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_065.html) And Jon Cryer’s movie. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---
