I remember when it was a big deal when Kelly Ripa was on "Hope & Faith" and "Live with Regis & Kelly" at the same time - name some stars that appeared on multiple shows simultaneously

- regular guest appearances on spin-offs count, single guest appearances do not.

I think the king of this is Bobby Flay; he is always on about 4 or more shows at once - in the past few months he has been on Iron Chef America, Brunch at Bobby's, The Next Food Network Star, Grill It with Bobby Flay, Throwdown, Barbecue Addiction, The Best Thing I Ever Ate, twice a month he hosts a cooking segment on CBS' The Early Show, and Flay hosted the reality television show America's Next Great Restaurant on NBC which just ended in May - now someone just needs to give him his own sitcom!

For a short time Amanda Bynes did both "All That" and "The Amanda Show" on Nickelodeon.

She was on "All That" from 1996-2000 and "The Amanda Show" from 1999-2002.

Frank Cady worked as a regular on Petticoat Junction and Green Acres simultaneously as the same character. And, to a much lesser extent as far as the latter show, so did Edgar Buchanan.

Ted Danson has been a semi-regular on Curb Your Enthusiasm while also appearing in Becker, then Help Me Help You, then Damages, then Bored To Death and hopefully still while appearing in CSI.

Scott Baio and Erin Moran appeared on Happy Days several times during the 10th season while they were on Joanie Loves Chachi

Christine Cavanaugh was a regular voice-actress on "Rugrats" as Chuckie from 1991-2002.


While still on "Rugrats" she voice-acted in many other cartoons such as:

"Sonic the Hedgehog"
"The Critic"
"Aaahh!!! Real Monsters"
"Dexter's Laboratory"

Roz Kelly--Pinky on Happy Days 1976
was also on
Starsky and Hutch 2 parter
Captain and Tennille
Match game

she must have been on cloud 9

Richard Anderson - The Six Million Dollar Man/The Bionic Woman
Richard Deacon - The Dick Van Dyke Show/Leave it to Beaver

Chris Meloni did both "OZ" and "Law & Order: SVU".

I'm pretty sure that Heather Locklear was on Dynasty and T.J. Hooker at the same time for a while.

Alison Brie: Community and Mad Men

Roz Kelly--Pinky on Happy Days 1976
was also on
Starsky and Hutch 2 parter
Captain and Tennille
Match game

she must have been on cloud 9
it sure didn't last very long for her though...

last season Chris Parnell was on Big Lake and made several appearances on 30 Rock as that crazy doctor character

for awhile lisa kudrow was on both mad about you and friends

Bea Benaderet: 'The Flintstones' and 'Beverly Hillbillies'

Richard Dawson: 'Match Game' and 'Family Feud'

Drew Carey: 'The Drew Carey Show' and 'Whose Line is it Anyway'

Bob Saget: 'Full House' and 'America's Funniest Home Videos'

Leo G. Carroll was Mr. Waverly on both The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.

These are going on right now:

"The View" host Sherri Shepherd also hosts GSN's "The Newlywed Game".

"The View" host Joy Behar also has her own show "The Joy Behar Show".

Barbara Walters still goes back and forth between "The View" and "20/20" but not as often today as she did about 10 years ago.

Robert Reed was simultaneously Mike Brady on The Brady Bunch and Lt. Tobias on Mannix.

Lee Majors' starring roles as Steve Austin in The Six Million Dollar Man and Jess Brandon in Owen Marshall: Counselor At Law briefly overlapped in 1974.

Another current one:

Jerry Springer hosting "The Jerry Springer Show" and GSN's "Baggage".

Going back to "Regis and Kelly" let's not forget that Regis Philbin also did double duty by being the host of "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire".



Also to add that Meredith Vieira did double duty too by being a "View" co-host and hosting the syndicated daytime version of "Millionaire".

She only does "Millionaire" now since she left "The View" in 2006.

Also to add that Meredith Vieira did double duty too by being a "View" co-host and hosting the syndicated daytime version of "Millionaire".

She only does "Millionaire" now since she left "The View" in 2006.

I'm sure this was just an oversight, but Vieira was also on The Today Show up until just a few weeks ago.

Timothy Omundson found time to play a bad guy in several episodes of Jericho (and a two-parter of Human Target) while also playing Lassiter on Psych.

Kurt Fuller has had recurring roles on both Psych and Supernatural at the same time, I'm not sure if those overlapped with his sitcom Better With You last season though.

More current ones:


Sharon Osbourne is a judge on "America's Got Talent" while being a co-host of "The Talk".

Piers Morgan is also a judge on "America's Got Talent" while hosting "Piers Morgan Tonight".
*Morgan was also a judge on "Britian's Got Talent" until 2010.*

Hank Azaria had a stint on Mad About You as Paul and Jamie's dog walker I believe while doing voice work for The Simpsons. I think that counts Right?

Tuc Watkins went back-and-forth a few times between daytime soap "One Life to Live" and primetime soap "Desperate Housewives"; both on ABC.

A voice actor can be on multiple series at the same time.

Soap star Cameron Mathison used to host the SOAPNet reality series "I Wanna Be a Soap Star" while on "All My Children".

Bob Saget: 'Full House' and 'America's Funniest Home Videos'Dave Coulier did "Full House" and "America's Funniest People" at about the same time as Bob.

Joel McHale "Community" and "The Soup"

I'm pretty sure that Heather Locklear was on Dynasty and T.J. Hooker at the same time for a while.
Although TJ Hooker and Dynasty appeared on ABC simultaniously, Heather was a full-time castmember of TJ, while reoccuring on D, appearing in about 6 episodes a season. When Hooker ended its run, Locklear was full-time on Dynasty.

Mila Kunis on "That '70s Show" and voice-acting on "Family Guy".

Also to note that Lacey Chabert had to leave "Family Guy" due to scheduling conflicts with "Party of Five".

Bob Barker: Unless I'm mistaken, Bob continued to work on Truth or Consequences for a while after the new series The Price is Right made its debut (early '70s).

Maybe someone who knows about Nickelodeon can help...

When Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell had their own show "Kenan & Kel" were they still involved with "All That"?
