A list of every guest star on Sesame Street with pictures.  All celebrity guest appearances.  Guest performers most often play special guest roles, but sometimes they even play themselves.  More often than not, guest stars appear during what is known as "sweeps", when a television show's Nielsen ratings are scrutinized to decide how much the network can charge for that show's ad space.  Sweeps take place in November, February, May, and July every television season.  Unlike a "cameo appearance" in which a star may only appear on screen for a few seconds, and may not even have lines, guest roles typically have substantial screen time with story arches that can spread throughout multiple episodes.

America

America&#39;s&nbsp;national treasures work in different fields, are of different generations, and all have different stories to tell. But all of their stories are that of America itself. Some are media moguls, others are entertainers that nobody can bring themselves to hate. A few are politicians that have enormous influence and cultural cachet, even if you completely disagree with everything they believe in. But what they have in common is that they exemplify the American spirit, can-do attitude, and our cultural heritage. They also do really great on talk shows. They&#39;re US national treasures and are loved by just about everyone.

These likable celebrities and public figures who are national treasures are the ones that, love them or hate them, can&#39;t get enough of them or totally sick of them, truly show what it means to be American. To take risks, to give back, to never give up, to be in control of their environment, and to know exactly what to say at the right time.

If you can think of other broadly popular Americans&nbsp;who qualify as national treasures for the people of the USA, feel free to add them to the list!

The American Presidency

While Secret Service code names are a tradition that dates back all the way to the Wilson administration, it's a little known fact that it's not actually the president's protective detail who picks the names. At first, it was the FBI choosing code names for presidents and their family. Then, with President Roosevelt's formation of what became known as the White House Communications Agency, the task <a target="_blank" href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-secret-service-code-names-obama-story.html">fell to them</a>. The Secret Service uses the names as shorthand, but they don't pick them out.Whoever does pick them out, however, often strikes gold - either because they're so apt, or because they're so insulting and terrible. You get everything from triumphant, heroic names that imply honor and dignity to the daughter of a presidential candidate being named after a British actor, and various officials having their maladies mocked. Sometimes the names are chosen by the figures themselves - leading to an array of names that are both pompous and painfully obvious. Which American presidents and US political figures throughout history have had the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stories-from-secret-service-members/melissa-sartore?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best Secret Service</a> code names?

From break babies to long lost illegitimate offspring, some kids have the unique distinction of being secret children of celebrities. Not all super stars announce their newborns with the fanfare (and payday) of a glossy magazine cover story. For some, the world learns about bundles of joy is spread through whispered words or when the other parent (also secret) calls the tabloids.Celebrities with secret children tend to be a little cagier than other expectant parents. Which makes sense - since being outed often leads to the end of their seemingly happy relationships. But not all kids on this list of celebrities with secret children are the product of adultery. Some famous parents fathered kids years and years before finding out they existed. From Chris Brown to Arnold Schwarzenegger, when the world learns about surprise celebrity babies, they can’t get enough. These famous secret parents got surprised (or suddenly surprised the world) with their baby bombshells. Check out the list to learn more about these celebrity baby scandals.&nbsp;
