If it doesn't, then neither does Andy Richter or Drew Carey. They're using their real names, but are playing characters.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Bette, starring Bette Midler.

Jack Benny-Radio and TV show
George Burns & Gracie Allen-Radio & TV show
Ozzie & Harriet Nelson, & their sons-Radio & TV show
Gary Shandling-TV show
Jerry Seinfeld-TV show

But, "The Jack Benny show" wasn't what you would call a "sitcom"-at least, not all the time. Sometimes it was a sitcom/variety show, sometimes a sitcom, and sometimes a variety show.
