* ''Top of the Pops Saturday'', a children's spin-off of music show ''Series/TopOfThePops'', often featured short animated skits under the name of ''Pop School''. The premise was ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin; a school where both teachers and students happened to be musicians who were popular in the United Kingdom at the time, such as Music/TwistedChristmas, Music/{{Busted}}, Music/GirlsAloud, and even Music/OzzyOsbourne. Although it mostly parodied the celebrities, it could also be considered a showcase for certain topics and artists who were (or aimed to be) popular among teenagers. Especially when it came to the students (Older musicians popular with the demographic's parents were typically cast as teachers).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHarlemGlobetrotters'' (later ''Go-Go Globetrotters'', an AnimatedAnthology with ''WesternAnimation/CBBears'', ''WesternAnimation/TheHerculoids'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost'') applied the same to, well, the Harlem Globetrotters (an "entertainment" basketball team). They later became the '''[[RecycledInSPACE Super]]''' [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperGlobetrotters Globetrotters]].

* In-universe example: ''Limozeen: But They're [[RecycledINSPACE in Space!]]'' in the WebAnimation/HomestarRunner universe.

* ''Anime/AbunaiSisters'' stars the Japanese celebrity duo Mika and Kyoko Kano.

* ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'', where [[Series/KrattsCreatures Chris and]] [[Series/{{Zoboomafoo}} Martin Kratt]] go on gadget-filled adventures to save and learn about wild creatures.

* ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'', starring [[Series/KrattsCreatures Chris and]] [[Series/{{Zoboomafoo}} Martin Kratt]].

* ''WesternAnimation/KuuKuuHarajuku'' for Gwen Stefani, whose character is called G in the show.

* ''The New Adventures of Gilligan'' and ''Gilligan's Planet''. The ''Series/GilligansIsland'' stars all voiced themselves, save [[NotQuiteStarring Tina Louise, who was off pouting somewhere, and Dawn Wells, who was unavailable at the time]]; Ginger and Mary-Anne were played by [[TalkingToHimself Filmation staple Jane Webb]]. Wells kindly returned, as well as doing serious double-duty in Louise's old role, on ''Planet''.

* ''WesternAnimation/LifeWithLouie'' with Louie Anderson.

* ''Little Rosey'' with Roseanne Barr.
** She didn't voice the title character (although had the show been renewed she would have); but Roseanne was the executive producer, and she ''did'' voice Rosey in the TV special ''The Rosey & Buddy Show'', which also featured her then-husband Tom Arnold as Buddy.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGaryColemanShow'' is an especially strange case, as it was actually based on Coleman's TV movie ''The Kid with the Broken Halo''.

* ''WesternAnimation/WishKid'': Starring Macaulay Culkin, with his sister Quinn Culkin as his baby sister on the show.

* ''WesternAnimation/WildGrinders'' with Rob Dyrdek of Rob and Big "fame", [[RealityTV if one can call it that]]. For this reason, his status as a "celebrity" is dubious at best...

* ''WesternAnimation/BobbysWorld'' with Howie Mandel (who not only appeared as himself in live-action against animated bookends but also voiced the title character and the title character's dad, [[TheDanza Howard]]).

* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' featured a pig version of comedian Kevin Meaney named Aloysius, who works for the network and for the animation studio, who complains about problems in the show.

* ''WesternAnimation/ChuckNorrisKarateKommandos'' which not only has Chuck's voice but also has him in live action segments at the beginning and end, as did ''WesternAnimation/MisterT'' (interestingly, both were from Creator/RubySpears).
* ''WesternAnimation/MaryKateAndAshleyInAction'' featured the Olsen twins.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}'' sorta falls into the category as Alicia Silverstone not only voiced the main character, Sharon, for the first two seasons, but doubled as a ''producer''.

* ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'' is a modernized take on Nick Kroll's childhood.

* ''Little Ellen'' with Creator/EllenDeGeneres (a 7 year old version of her, more precisely).

* Music/TheBeatles had [[WesternAnimation/TheBeatles a cartoon series]] in the 1960s at the height of their fame. The real lads from Liverpool greatly disliked this series because of cheap animation and terrible voices (provided by Creator/PaulFrees and Lance Percival, who later was the voice of Old Fred in ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'', which is a masterpiece compared to this series).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheCompletelyMentalMisadventuresOfEdGrimley'' starred Creator/MartinShort as a cartoon version of one of his most famous ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' characters.

* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', which wasn't as bad as some other examples in this page. [[Creator/JackieChan Jackie]] didn't voice himself, but he did participate in the Q&A sessions at the end. Heck, the show ran for ''five'' seasons. That should tell you something.

* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' which wasn't as bad as some other examples in this page. Even though [[Creator/JackieChan the actor]] didn't voice himself, but rather the Q&A sessions at the end. Heck the show ran for ''five'' seasons. That should tell you something.

** In the BeatlesAnthology documentary special, Harrison says the time went they to visit Music/ElvisPresley in Beverly Hills and couldn't find The King's house was like "a scene out of a Beatles cartoon".

** There is an upcoming ''KISS Franchise/HelloKitty'' cartoon.
