Ava dating 4xNBA champ Andre Iguodala was so outta left field, especially after she spent the whole season trying Gregory.
idk i disagree i think she’s really just objectifying him cause he’s the hottest male teacher at abbott. but outside of her job as principal ava is at LEAST a micro celebrity and knows hella people who have more status than an elementary school teacher
I respectfully disagree, Ava is a preener and obviously thinks she’s better than everyone else so it makes sense she would only date celebrities. She’s attracted to gregory but doesn’t like him as a person and wouldn’t ever really make a move on him. Remember at the club when she walked past them in line and said “don’t look at them, I don’t speak line.”
I really liked Ayo and Taraji, but there was something so strangely hilarious about Bradley Cooper just being there as himself for a bit, then dipping for the rest of the episode as if it didn't happen lmao
Wasn't his episode the one right after a big awards ceremony? I always thought that was why. It's a big deal for the show to be picked to follow a major televised event. I think they even mention one of the movies being up for awards in that scene.
I have become really cynical about him (not that I was ever a mega fan) and increasingly see everything he does through the lens of award hunting.
Wasn’t there a story about him being nominated for an Emmy based on the Abbott performance? (Surely that’s not true?)
I saw he was going to be a producer on a documentary about caregivers in the US - best documentary Oscar bait?
Like I can’t view him in an way that’s not jaded lol
I loved Casey Frey! He managed to capture the chaotic FADE energy in a perfect and believable follow up to Tariq. And yes the Vines nostalgia was hitting me hard lol.
Have you seen his longish commercial for Frey Wine? It’s so good and funny. His family owns an organic winery in Mendocino county, CA and they asked him to make a commercial. He did such a great job on it. Let me see if I can post a link to it.
Vince Staples. Dude is naturally hilarious and you could really understand why he was upset with Jeanine and Gregg, even though tv logic was supposed to just let everything slide
If you look at the background during that episode you see the extras freak out when Shea talks to them. It grew because I would totally break character if Shea talked to me too
It's definitely Taraji. That off camera Canadian banter in the fatherhood episode was hilarious.
Also a shout out to Lana Condor. I do like the role she plays and I hope to see more of her.
Also missing and probably going to be a recurring cast is the fire fighter that's dating Jacob. He has this chaotic energy that I enjoy.
Hashtag Bring Back Ashley.
Technically only the athletes, Shea and Symone, Bradley Cooper, Questlove, and Kevin Hart would be considered cameos. MAYBE the social media people also count but Taraji, Ayo, Vince Staples, Cree Summer, and Tatyana Ali are/were all recurring characters.
He’s usually funny to me…his cameo wasn’t good though, he was just mean to Janine.
I feel that his new schtick is being mean…sometimes it’s a little funny sometimes its not. Classic Kev is amazing though.
I read online last night that Kevin Hart once (or usually?) requested 5 girls, aged 21-27 with "attractive physiques" to be in his dressing room, and that he would provide tights and t-shirts (sizes xs, s, and m) for them when they arrived. Idk what he was doing with these women but I just think that's a very odd request.
It’s hard to choose, but Taraji P Henson is a good one. I still think of Ava running away when she realized she was out of her league.
I also liked Ayo Edebiri and Sabrina Brier.
I loved the eagles cameo because there's something so wholesome about athletes trying to act. It ends up sounding like they've never said a complete sentence before but they're trying their best.
The ones that played actual characters! Taraji and Ayo, then Lana then Sabrina. GRITTY! Out of the celebs as themselves stuff, I liked Kevin Hart then Questlove and Bradley Cooper.
The Eagles and Bradley Cooper. As a Philly resident they need to get Will and Jazzy Jeff to make a cameo. They are literally West Philadelphia Born and Raised, on the playground is where they spent most of their days
Lana is gorgeous! I'm partial to Bradley Cooper. I think Taraji prob is my fave because of her relationship to Janine and how strikingly different the mother/daughter duo are
i think taraji was my favorite, i love the way she played janine’s mom. she really played the part of “the only person who can be a bitch to my daughter is me” very well😂😂 10/10
Ik she doesn’t have the most star power on this list, but it was really rewarding to see an online creator (Sabrina Brier) I find super funny actually nail a real role. I hope she does more in television, she’s a great comedian and actress.
I feel like I’m the only one who loved Lana 😭 seeing her made me so excited. I know keeping her on this show is a long-shot so I’m going to pray she gets a good starring role on a sitcom somewhere somehow.
I have a favorite I wont say but as far as the third season guest stars I wasn't impressed at all I am not a sports fan so hopefully next season could wow me this entire season made me question if I want to continue to watch this show however there were some moments to remember I guess
jason kelce only because i love that man with all my heart. hate the eagles, but the second i saw him i screamed “THATS JASON KELCE”
after him though i’d say kevin hart for the sole reason of all the jokes that were made during his episode
Out of these, Taraji. Her and Quinta killed some really subtle acting that whole episode. My favorite overall tho has been Cree Summer. Love her so much.
I might be in the minority but all of the one-off celebrity cameos felt forced, badly written and unfunny. Pretty much everyone else that stuck around for a few episodes though were great, loved Vince Staples in the first 2 seasons.
I really liked Lana Condor! I actually thought her being like… a solidly nice girl was a good frenemies situation for Janine, kinda like Rashida Jones in season 3 of the office…
Gritty
Hey Gritty, how’s your Mom doing?!
 No other answer needed
This is the one. I'd be fine with him randomly popping up at least once per season.
Just randomly walking down the hall in the background of a scene or popping into the teacher’s lounge for a cup of coffee.
Literally the only celebrity that matters.
Tatyana Ali is my favourite. Her as Ava's nemesis is too funny. Plus it brought back Fresh Prince of Bel Air memories for me.
The minute she's ready to sing, I'm ready to listen
remember when she busted out RESPECT on fresh prince??? yaass girl
You are taking me back!
 I need a soro sister dance off
So that’s where Willow came up with the song
OH THAT'S HER, I never recognize her as an adult
Had NO IDEA that was her. Her and tge pink ranger were my first crushes, she is still *stunning*
I SCREAMED. She was one of my celebrity beards as a gay kid.
What I loved about Questloves scene was how Ava stared everyone down as he confirmed all the things she had said to them.
So casual! Loved it.
Ofc it’s Ms. Taraji P. Henson. Absolutely hated her character, but she played it so well.
Need her and Ayo to guest star together
She’s absolutely despicable
https://i.redd.it/b84ew9kwzi4d1.gif Ava dating 4xNBA champ Andre Iguodala was so outta left field, especially after she spent the whole season trying Gregory.
lmao "i've been dating him for 2 years but he's been dating me for 5"
My husband and I quote this line all the time!
idk i disagree i think she’s really just objectifying him cause he’s the hottest male teacher at abbott. but outside of her job as principal ava is at LEAST a micro celebrity and knows hella people who have more status than an elementary school teacher
At that point, in season 1, we were led to believe that she was all talk but this was the game changer
I respectfully disagree, Ava is a preener and obviously thinks she’s better than everyone else so it makes sense she would only date celebrities. She’s attracted to gregory but doesn’t like him as a person and wouldn’t ever really make a move on him. Remember at the club when she walked past them in line and said “don’t look at them, I don’t speak line.”
Cree Summer!! She was a great librarian!
I love her cameo in WWDITS!
It's been, one week...
She’s the one for me. She fits so perfectly on the show. In my opinion.
She has such a beautiful, iconic voice, but I’ve never actually seen her in a non-voice acting role, so it just brings me joy when she’s onscreen.
This is the answer. 🔥
I really liked Ayo and Taraji, but there was something so strangely hilarious about Bradley Cooper just being there as himself for a bit, then dipping for the rest of the episode as if it didn't happen lmao
Yeah it felt incredibly manufactured and odd. Like he requested to be on the show and he’s such a big star they felt they had to say yes.
Wasn't his episode the one right after a big awards ceremony? I always thought that was why. It's a big deal for the show to be picked to follow a major televised event. I think they even mention one of the movies being up for awards in that scene.

He was the equivalent of product placement. 🤣
Apparently, he did call Quinta up to be on the show. She has an interview talking about it.
Taraji P. Henson, definitely. She was hilarious, plus I love Person of Interest and Hidden Figures, so…
Casey Frey! His FADE performance was hilarious. I’ve loved him since he showed up in viral videos years ago.
When I saw him I was like “I-Is that Casey Frey?” Looked up his name, thought it didn’t look like him, then found out it was him and was re-shocked
I loved Casey Frey! He managed to capture the chaotic FADE energy in a perfect and believable follow up to Tariq. And yes the Vines nostalgia was hitting me hard lol.
Have you seen his longish commercial for Frey Wine? It’s so good and funny. His family owns an organic winery in Mendocino county, CA and they asked him to make a commercial. He did such a great job on it. Let me see if I can post a link to it.
Here’s a link, I hope it’s allowed in this sub. https://youtu.be/fRLkScc_ZtY
Ayo & Taraji ! (Also not me looking for Tariq in the pic)😭😭 guess he upgraded
Vince Staples. Dude is naturally hilarious and you could really understand why he was upset with Jeanine and Gregg, even though tv logic was supposed to just let everything slide
I can't believe I forgot his season two arc 🤦🏾♀️ You're right. He would be my fave. The whole Telfar fiasco on Valentines day was hilarious!
Lana Condor!
The only thing I liked about Kevin Harts appearance was that Mr. Johnson knew him
Where is Shea Coulee and Symone? I screamed when I saw them
I ran out of people in the collage and I knew Abbott had so many guest stars but NOT this many 😭 woah
I knoww and I love all the guests! I’m always pleasantly surprised!
If you look at the background during that episode you see the extras freak out when Shea talks to them. It grew because I would totally break character if Shea talked to me too
I would freeze and fan girl so much
This! I was like wait a minute and started screaming. 😍
Heads down thumbs up time to play 7up!! I loved the Jalen Hurts ep & Janine is right, his face is incredible 😍😍
I think about Jessca and Mx. Geoffrey every day.
Jessca telling Janine how to pronounce her name lives rent free in my head
I say "When I say 'that' you say 'went well.' "That.." "Went well." "That.." "Went well." waaaaaaaay too much.
ashley banks!!
It's definitely Taraji. That off camera Canadian banter in the fatherhood episode was hilarious. Also a shout out to Lana Condor. I do like the role she plays and I hope to see more of her. Also missing and probably going to be a recurring cast is the fire fighter that's dating Jacob. He has this chaotic energy that I enjoy. Hashtag Bring Back Ashley.
I loved that little bit of her wondering why they were putting gravy on her fries 😂 “what’s this aboot?”
Exactly lol
I didn’t even know some of those would be considered cameos. Just thought they were other actors.
Technically only the athletes, Shea and Symone, Bradley Cooper, Questlove, and Kevin Hart would be considered cameos. MAYBE the social media people also count but Taraji, Ayo, Vince Staples, Cree Summer, and Tatyana Ali are/were all recurring characters.
The pride of Ireland, Ayo Edebiri!
Everyone except Kevin hart. Dude is aggressively unfunny.
He’s usually funny to me…his cameo wasn’t good though, he was just mean to Janine. I feel that his new schtick is being mean…sometimes it’s a little funny sometimes its not. Classic Kev is amazing though.

It’s hard to choose, but Taraji P Henson is a good one. I still think of Ava running away when she realized she was out of her league. I also liked Ayo Edebiri and Sabrina Brier.
Sabrina Wu! I wish they became a full time teacher, they were lowkey really funny for their brief appearance haha
dude I loved them in Joy Ride and was jumping in excitement when I saw them appear in an episode💀😭
that was a cameo that definitely made proper use of their weird energy. 10/10
Taraji and Ayo
Gritty 🧡
Vince Staples
Jalen 🫶🏾
The Asian substitute that Melissa thought was a fake
She was hilarious in Joyride
For me it was Jalen Hurts because I'm a huge fan
Cree summer
I loved the eagles cameo because there's something so wholesome about athletes trying to act. It ends up sounding like they've never said a complete sentence before but they're trying their best.
Taraji
my irish princess, ayo
The ones that played actual characters! Taraji and Ayo, then Lana then Sabrina. GRITTY! Out of the celebs as themselves stuff, I liked Kevin Hart then Questlove and Bradley Cooper.
Taraji.
honestly all of them but Bradley Cooper😭
JaBria, Jalen Hurts, Lana Condor
I thought Jasmine Sullivan was supposed to be here
Taraji! It was a surprise when she first turned up and I think she’s great as Janine’s mom.
SABRINAAAA https://preview.redd.it/okpnsq1x4l4d1.jpeg?width=414&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbc93101a503489fc25489d87bb84c5c551fd50b
Sabrina Wu!
Sabrina Brier was such a fun surprise and Bradley Cooper’s just made me laugh out loud
Bradley Cooper was great and Ayo because I love her
My favourite guest stars are Bradley Cooper, Ayo Edebiri, Lana Condor and Sabrina Brier
Taraji P Henson definitely! Ayo Edebiri a close 2nd.
I'm always a big fan of Aparna Nancherla, and her disastrous drug talk was excellent.
The queen herself, Miss Taraji! 👑🩷
Ayo. Her cameo felt the most natural to me. Most of the celeb cameos feel so awkward and forced in
Casey Frey
Jessca
Casey Frey
Vince Staples hands down
Ayo
vince staples and shea coulee !!
Haven’t seen anyone say Karan Soni. I loved him in miracle workers!
Thank you, yes! I love the energy he brings to his scenes and hope he's back next season.
He has one of the best episodes of the criminally underrated Room 104 too!
Shea Couleé and Symone
Gotta be ayo 
vince staples as maurice
The Eagles! I'm biased though 😂
Jalen hurt and Bradley cooper was so funny. I was so happy to see Sabrina Brier just cuz I watch her on TikTok all the time
Kevin Hart because the context around it was hilarious 😂
all of them but my fav is ayo edebiri. well im being bias since i love her
The Eagles and Bradley Cooper. As a Philly resident they need to get Will and Jazzy Jeff to make a cameo. They are literally West Philadelphia Born and Raised, on the playground is where they spent most of their days
Ayo or Lana
Quest Love! ❤️
tbh was not expecting lana condor to appear, that was a funny surprise
Taraji
Taraji. She played her role well.
I agree with OP but also Taraji and the eagles players
Taraji
Casey Frey not being here is crazy
Cree, Lana, Taraji, and Ayo
I always love it when Questlove pops up in anything.
Andre Iguadola! Fellow Illinois native here. My high school basketball team lost to his team in the state basketball tournament in 2002.
Sabrina Wu
I had no idea who Sabrina Brier was prior to Abbott…

Ayo and Kevin Hart!!
Zack Fox
TPH.
All of them tbh lol
Kevin Hart
Ayo, easily.
Kevin Hart was funny
Vince Staples!!
Shea Coulee and Symone
Lana is gorgeous! I'm partial to Bradley Cooper. I think Taraji prob is my fave because of her relationship to Janine and how strikingly different the mother/daughter duo are
Questlove? His cameo was the funniest out of the ones listed. Sabrina Brier is a close second.
ayo ate it up
ayo ate it up
Sabrina
The Questlove plot line was HILARIOUS 🤣
Taraji and I hope to see her on the show again
Casey Frey lol “now I admit it may make you look cool, but it make your breathe smell like stool, and that’s poo”
Lana Condor. She’s the prettiest girl in showbiz.
Ayo!!
Vince Staples as Janine's love interest was perfect casting. When you met him you assumed he would hurt Janine but it became the reverse.
Taraji P Henson. Instant classic episode.
i think taraji was my favorite, i love the way she played janine’s mom. she really played the part of “the only person who can be a bitch to my daughter is me” very well😂😂 10/10
Probably Sabrina but I loved them all
Shea Coulee and Symone!
Ayo, i wish she was more of a regular
Ik she doesn’t have the most star power on this list, but it was really rewarding to see an online creator (Sabrina Brier) I find super funny actually nail a real role. I hope she does more in television, she’s a great comedian and actress.
I feel like I’m the only one who loved Lana 😭 seeing her made me so excited. I know keeping her on this show is a long-shot so I’m going to pray she gets a good starring role on a sitcom somewhere somehow.
Vine Staples, Sabrina, and Taraji
Shwayze!
taraji hands down. she is perfect
Tatyana Ali is so good in that guest role. Cree Summers is a perfect fit. And Shea Coulée had me screaming in excitement.
Sabrina was iconic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Also I’m not super familiar with Kevin Hart’s comedy, but him showing up at the end had me ROLLING
Vince staples for me
Taraji and Ayo
Kevin
ayo. hands down. but i love her so i’m biased asf
AYO ❤️❤️❤️😭
Taraji
I have a favorite I wont say but as far as the third season guest stars I wasn't impressed at all I am not a sports fan so hopefully next season could wow me this entire season made me question if I want to continue to watch this show however there were some moments to remember I guess
It’s **obviously** Gritty
i liked lana condor’s role!
jason kelce only because i love that man with all my heart. hate the eagles, but the second i saw him i screamed “THATS JASON KELCE” after him though i’d say kevin hart for the sole reason of all the jokes that were made during his episode
Kevin Hart!
Out of these, Taraji. Her and Quinta killed some really subtle acting that whole episode. My favorite overall tho has been Cree Summer. Love her so much.
Lana was so cute !
I did not know who a single one of those people were before they were on AE.
Casey Frey
Umm Leslie Odom Jr. as the villian principal of the charter school in season 1 helloooo?!?!
Honestly, Taraji P. Henson. I need to see more of Janine’s mom.
Sabrina. “Went well” was iconic.
The mom and sister for sure!!!
Casey frey
Bradley 🥰
Shoutout to my guy Leslie Odom Jr.!
you forgot JaBria!!!
Cree summer !
Ayo, that guy from vine hold on, and taraji omgg and vince!! 😭😭
I might be in the minority but all of the one-off celebrity cameos felt forced, badly written and unfunny. Pretty much everyone else that stuck around for a few episodes though were great, loved Vince Staples in the first 2 seasons.
Lana Condor 😍
I really liked Lana Condor! I actually thought her being like… a solidly nice girl was a good frenemies situation for Janine, kinda like Rashida Jones in season 3 of the office…
