Are they a celebrity? Are they in the letters section? Is the person holding a Mad or appearing with someone Mad? Then they're probably on this list!

(NOTE: Celebrity photos used in 2-Question Interviews are here; if a celebrity was seen in a photo but not interviewed, they're on this page!)
(NOTE: Some of these listings may have found their way to the Mad References in the Media section!)
