Jennifer Grey played a parody version of herself in _It’s Like … You Know,_ including making jokes about her infamous nose job.

You know, up until I joined this board, I thought I was the only person who remembered _It’s Like…You_. Mostly because it’s a forgettable show, but I absolutely adore [AJ Langer](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0486277/).

Speaking of _Martin_ Sheen, he shows up in _Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping_ as himself … but wearing a Presidential windbreaker and riffing on his role as President Bartlet in _The West Wing_.

He also gets in a bar fight with Andy Samberg, so, cool. Cool cool cool.
