I'd argue that they 'aren't as famous' as the stars they lampoon, just because they aren't apart of that whole hollywood 'star system'. In that system 3/4 of the allure of the actor is the actor, its based on them as star and their cult of personality that surrounds that. sort of like a rock star. Could tom cruise have gotten away with Rommel speaking without a german accent if he wasnt Tom 'Batshit Insane' Cruise? Of course not but hes Tom cruse and millions of people for some reason love him despite who we all suppose we know he actually is.

And meanwhile matt and trey don't do anything to create a cult of personality or image or really anything other than make SP and other shows, they don't market themselves as ohh and ahh, the proof is in the pudding, they don't need hype to sell their work, they merely figured out that if something is good and true people will like it.

but yeah, anyways... good list. Add miley cyrus and and I second octomom and Blagojevich.
