Sometimes I make weird associations in my head. That's really the only
introduction I can think of that would explain why I've been amassing a list in my brain of all the TV stars who remind
me of cartoon characters. This is the result of my research:

Ray Romano
sounds almost exactly like Marvin the Martian. Despite this, he never once threatened to blow up the Earth simply
because it was obstructing his view of Venus. Perhaps if he did I might have actually watched his show.

Larry David, if you
add a moustache and catch him in the morning right after he wakes up, kind of looks like The Professor from Felix
the Cat.

Jamie Hynerman of
Mythbusters bears more than a passing resemblance to the little janitor who ends the "Peabody's
Improbable History" segment on the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon.

Speaking of Peabody
and Sherman, if you combine the DNA of the learned dog with that of his faithful pet boy Sherman, you get Stephen
Colbert. Don't argue, this is science, people.

Lastly, we have Conan O'Brien,
who is clearly Beany from Beany and Cecil all grown up.
If you think of others, throw 'em down in the comments.

I don't know if this counts because the character is a Muppet but have you ever looked at Sam Donaldson(the reporter) and Sam the Eagle (from the Muppets) they bear more similarity than the eyebrows.

Last try. If it doesn't work you could google it to see the similarities.

Wilfred Brimley is the personification of Yosemite Sam, in light of the amount of ads he does i suppose he qualifies as TV People
