Jackie Mason should be higher, One of the best episodes
All Star cast in "Homer at Bat" My personal favorite,
I'm very disappointed that Danny DeVito didn't make the list, Homer's lost brother Herb, Great 2 episodes, He was good enough to make a 2nd appearence, I guess someone didn't research this very well?!!! My top 3 in order

Albert Brooks should have been number 1. He did Scorio, Fat Camp guy, and Jacques (the french guy from s1)

You forgot Dustin Hoffman, one of the first unnamed guest stars--he was Lisa's substitute teacher.

I'd have to go ahead and say Michael Jackson, if not solely for the fact that he's a big bald white, er yellow, dude in a mental institution.

#3--Albert Brooks (Scorpio, and the fat camp guy)
#2--Barry White
#1--Michael Jackson!!!

And this, before I've even looked at the list.

And, can I say, as an honorary guest star--the city of New York, and the World Trade towers. I laugh, yet I cry.
