Are we counting Scooby Doo cartoons? Cuz there were the Globetrotters, Cass Elliott, Don Knotts, Batman and Robin, and everyone else I’m forgetting.
Jonathan Winters, Sandy Duncan, The Three Stooges…
Whoosh?
I know it doesn’t count, but I still don’t understand the actual parameters after reading both threads, and this one was cool. In Supernatural, Dean Winchester killed Hitler.
Midge Maisel, from the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, meets Lenny Bruce.
In Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon, many real life historical figures appear and interact with the fictional characters:

Historical figures
Fictionalized versions of several historical figures appear in the World War II storyline:
[ul]
[li]Alan Turing, the cryptographer and computer scientist, is a colleague and friend of Lawrence Waterhouse and sometime lover of Rudy von Hacklheber.[/li]
[li]Douglas MacArthur, the famed U.S. Army general, who takes a central role toward the end of the World War II timeline.[/li]
[li]Karl Dönitz, Großadmiral of the Kriegsmarine, is never actually seen as a character but issues orders to his U-Boats, including the one captained by Bischoff. Bischoff threatens to reveal information about hidden war gold unless Dönitz rescinds an order to sink his submarine.[/li]
[li]Hermann Göring, who appears extensively in the recollections of Rudy von Hacklheber as Rudy recounts how Göring tried recruiting him as a cryptographer for the Nazis: Rudy delivers an intentionally weakened system, reserving the full system for the use of the conspiracy among the characters to locate hidden gold.[/li]
[li]Future United States President Ronald Reagan is depicted during his wartime service as an officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps Public Relations branch’s 1st Motion Picture Unit. He attempts to film an interview with the recuperating and morphine-addled Bobby Shaftoe, who spoils the production with his account of a giant lizard attack and his harsh criticism of General MacArthur.[/li]
[li]Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto’s 1943 death at the hands of U.S. Army fighter aircraft during Operation Vengeance over Bougainville Island fills an entire chapter. During his fateful flight, the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Imperial Navy’s Combined Fleet reflects upon the failures and hubris of his Imperial Army counterparts, who persistently underestimate the cunning and ferocity of their Allied opponents in the Pacific Theatre of Operations. As his damaged transport plane completes its terminal descent, Yamamoto realizes that all of the Japanese military codes have been broken, which explains why he is “on fire and hurtling through the jungle at a hundred miles per hour in a chair, closely pursued by tons of flaming junk.”[/li]
[li]Albert Einstein brushes off a young Lawrence Waterhouse’s request for advice. During his year of undergraduate study at Princeton, Waterhouse periodically wanders the halls of the Institute for Advanced Study, randomly asking mathematicians (whose names he never remembers) for advice on how to make intricate calculations for his “sprocket question,” which is how he eventually meets Turing.[/li][li]Harvest, an early supercomputer built by IBM (known as “ETC” or “Electrical Till Corp.” in the novel) for the National Security Agency for cryptanalysis. The fictionalized Harvest became operational in the early 1950s, under the supervision of Earl Comstock, while the actual system was installed in 1962.[/ul][/li][/QUOTE]
Jesus met Herod.
So I think I’ve got something that fits the OP’s parameters.
In The West Wing, if you’re sharp-eyed, you can catch (photoshopped) pictures in the background that sometimes show characters with real-life politicians. In Season 1 alone, I saw a picture in Sam Seaborn’s office that showed Martin Sheen (as fictional politician Jed Bartlet) standing next to Tip O’Neill at a campaign event, and another that showed a (significantly younger than he was during the series) Sheen with a young Ted Kennedy.
Yup, those’ll do. Thanks!

Wallaby, Herod isn’t a fictional character.
Oh, wait… You meant Jesus? That would be witnessing, which is not allowed in this forum. You’ll want Great Debates for that.
Ghost Rider may or may not have met Jesus Christ. More info here:
The TV show “30 Rock” is full of off-hand references to celebrity friends.
Here’s a video full of Jenna referring to her former lover, Mickey Rourke
