26 Times Massive Celebs Randomly Guest-Starred On A TV Show And It Was SO Weird
Shawn Mendes showing up to sing in a bunker on <i>The 100</i> is still a top ten bizarre CW moment for me, and that's saying something.

26 Times Massive Celebs Randomly Guest-Starred On A TV Show And It Was SO Weird

Look, I love a good celeb guest star. It’s fun to see your favorite stars drop into your favorite shows! But sometimes massive celebs pop up on a show and you’re just like “…huh?”

Pop!TV

Usually, this happens when the celeb guest star is not an actor, or just feels really, really out of the place in the subject matter of the show. Here are 26 examples!

1. We’ll start with the most recent: Megan Thee Stallion on She-Hulk. I’ll forgive them for this one since I love Megan and it was an after-credits scene, but…Megan, what are you doing there??? How are you relevant to the plot???

Shawn literally just shows up to sing a professionally-recorded song in a literal bunker, then Jasper body-slams him. And that’s the last we ever see of this character.

He randomly shows up, sings a song, and then THAT’S IT. It’s even worse than the Shawn example because Game of Thrones is a medieval-inspired fantasy show. At least The 100 is near-future.

And then at the end, Blair “pulled some strings,” and Lady Gaga HERSELF showed up to perform. Like, a full Grammy Awards-worthy performance, to a few NYU students. It was odd, to say the least.

The CW

Okay, yes, Blair did explain this as a dress rehearsal. But why was Lady Gaga having a full dress rehearsal with costumes at NYU? It was very odd. I also don’t see Blair liking Lady Gaga.

Please, please, watch the scene here — you won’t regret it:

Which, fine. Normal enough. But things get worse when he appears AGAIN, and FLIRTS WITH PEYTON. A 17-YEAR-OLD.

THEN THEY START DATING FOR A COUPLE EPISODES. Like this random high school girl is just…dating Pete Wentz. We’re supposed to believe that???

But the reason why this one is so bizarre is that, like, ten episodes later, the fact that Kid Cudi performed becomes a low-key major storyline that somehow reveals that Brooke is pregnant. Which is a huge deal considering she’s been trying to have a kid for seasons.

The CW

It also involved the Air Force and pot brownies and a flashback to Kid Cudi’s entourage forcing Chase to smoke a joint, and the whole thing, and the fact that it somehow led to Brooke realizing she was pregnant…truly a mess.

The CW

13. Sorry, another GG one — anyone else remember when the MAYOR of NEW YORK (at the time) guest starred? Mike Bloomberg shows up for two seconds in the finale to express shock at Dan being Gossip Girl. Like, what???? How does he even know about GG?

The CW

Even more bizarre, Hilton had recently starred in House of Wax with Jared Padalecki, who played Sam in the show. This means that if this is the same Paris, she should recognize Sam as Jared — which doesn’t happen. They do, however, make a funny reference.

Basically, they end up at a party at his house, and he steps in to help Nick and Jess with their relationship problems. Like, fully, he is the reason they end the episode on good terms. SO random but also I kind of love it.

Fox

Prince was actually a fan of New Girl, especially of Nick and Jess, and requested to be on the show and to help Nick and Jess get together.

Turns out, Rogelio and Britney have some beef from the past — you know what, as celeb guest star explanations go, this one isn’t terrible. But still — Britney freaking Spears is just casually hanging with Jane for a lot of the episode!

The CW

Disney Channel

Basically, he shows up to visit Max, who is pretending he has a fake disease called mono-orangosis. Why specifically The Rock, a massive superstar, over any other actor? No reason.

Misty-May Trainer shows up to visit him, too.

Watch the scene when he first appears here:

She literally just walks into the Russo’s sandwich shop. She then morphs into Alex’s uncle (who has been Shakira this whole time!!!), but I’m pretty sure that only makes this example more nonsensical.

I think the main reason I found this so weird — besides the Kardashian’s mega-fame — was that Naomi openly insults Kim in the scene and perpetuates stereotypes about Kim. Like, why the heck did Kim want to appear??

The CW

Watch the scene here:


NBC

Okay, fine — the episode is comedic, and does include a relevant plot. Basically, Abbey is doing a PR stunt with the Muppets. But why does Big Bird just come and sit down and say nothing here?? Why is he in costume? It’s a bizarre visual.
