Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

To say Snoop Dogg was the main attraction at the Olympics is an understatement. Earlier this year, NBC Sports hired the veteran rapper to serve as a commentator for the Summer Games in Paris. While he was in France, Uncle Snoop took every opportunity to participate in the historic event from the Olympic trials to the closing ceremonies. Fans went wild every time the 52-year-old artist appeared on their screens. According to QZ, the opening ceremony brought in 34.7 million viewers to all NBC platforms and millions more throughout the games. It was the most-watched Opening Ceremony since London in 2012, and executives believe it's because of Snoop.
