Surprising Star Voices: Celebs You Never Knew Were On 'South Park'

South Park's Celebrity Surprise

If you're a fan of 'South Park,' you know it's not exactly a celebrity playground like 'The Simpsons' or 'Family Guy.' With creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone often roasting famous folks, it's no wonder the guest list is short. However, a few stars have slipped through to voice quirky characters you might not have noticed. Let's dive into these unexpected cameos!

Norman Lear's Founding Father Moment

Legendary producer Norman Lear, known for 'All in the Family,' took a unique turn as Benjamin Franklin in 'South Park's' 100th episode, "I'm a Little Bit Country." Here, Franklin appears in a flashback as Cartman imagines what the Founding Fathers would think of the Iraq War. Lear, a huge 'South Park' fan, shared mutual admiration with the creators, even officiating Trey Parker's wedding in 2006.

“I was just thrilled to be a part of something so bold and irreverent,” Lear once commented on his involvement with the show.

Natasha Henstridge: The Unlikely Teacher

Back in 'South Park's' early days, Natasha Henstridge, or "The Chick From Species," voiced Ms. Ellen in the Season 1 episode "Tom’s Rhinoplasty." As the boys' new crush at South Park Elementary, Ms. Ellen becomes the center of a hilarious and slightly bizarre plot. Wendy's jealousy leads to a wild plan involving Iraqi soldiers, marking Henstridge's first and only appearance.

Richard Belzer's Tooth Fairy Caper

Comedian Richard Belzer lent his voice to Loogie, a fourth-grade mafioso with a side business in the episode "The Tooth Fairy’s Tats 2000." Belzer's character runs a tooth-planting racket, collecting cash from unsuspecting parents. Although it was a one-time role, Loogie has made several background appearances since.

Jennifer Aniston: From Friends to Rainforests

Jennifer Aniston, famous for her role as Rachel on 'Friends,' took a break to voice Ms. Stevens in "Rainforest Shmainforest." As a choir teacher leading the "Getting Gay With Kids" tour, she tries to sway Cartman's views on environmentalism. The adventure takes a wild turn when an indigenous tribe gets involved, making Aniston's single appearance unforgettable.

These surprising voice cameos show that 'South Park' has a knack for attracting unexpected talent, even if just for a single episode. Who knows which star might pop up next?
