A list of every guest star on Sesame Street with pictures.  All celebrity guest appearances.  Guest performers most often play special guest roles, but sometimes they even play themselves.  More often than not, guest stars appear during what is known as "sweeps", when a television show's Nielsen ratings are scrutinized to decide how much the network can charge for that show's ad space.  Sweeps take place in November, February, May, and July every television season.  Unlike a "cameo appearance" in which a star may only appear on screen for a few seconds, and may not even have lines, guest roles typically have substantial screen time with story arches that can spread throughout multiple episodes.

A list of famous left handed people with pictures. People with left handedness, aka &quot;left handers,&quot;&nbsp;&quot;lefties,&quot;&nbsp;&quot;a lefty,&quot;&nbsp;or even &quot;southpaws&quot; have long had to deal with negative connotations within the western world. The latin word for left, &quot;sinistra&quot; is where we get the modern word &quot;sinister&quot;. By contrast, &quot;dexterity&quot; comes from the latin word for right handed, &quot;dexter&quot;.

Today, roughly 11% of the world&#39;s population is left handed. That number surged throughout the 20th century as adults stopped forcing left handed children to use their right hand. Left handedness has become unusually prominent within some professions.

Of the seven most recent Presidents of the United States, five were left handers. Many other world leaders are lefties as well. Generally speaking, left handed people today tend to be seen as more &quot;right brained&quot;. A recent study showed that college educated left handers in the United States earn on average 10-15% more than their right handed equivalents.

Who are some of the most famous lefties? Take a look at this list and find out.

When it comes to professional sports, we usually think about incredible athleticism and awe-inspiring feats of strength and skill. However, today we’re exploring another side of the sporting world: the ugliest athletes of all time. While these athletes are celebrated for their talent and achievements, they’ve also gained notoriety for their unconventional looks. Remember, beauty is subjective, and this list is all in good humor, focusing on those who’ve made a significant impression, for better or worse.Take Leon Spinks, for instance. Known for his gap-toothed grin and rugged appearance, Spinks is celebrated for his shocking victory over Muhammad Ali in 1978. Then there's Big Daddy V, the professional wrestler whose imposing frame and distinctive visage made him a memorable presence in the ring. And we can't forget Sam Cassell, the NBA star whose unique facial features have often been the topic of playful ribbing, yet whose skills on the court were undeniably impressive. These athletes are proof that true talent transcends appearances, despite what the tabloids might say.Now it’s your turn to have a say. Who do you think are the ugliest in pro sports? Cast your votes and let us know which athletes you believe stand out for their uncommon looks. Your picks will add to the conversation, highlighting how these sports figures have made their mark in more ways than one.

They're US national treasures and are loved by just about everyone.These likable celebrities and public figures who are national treasures are the ones that, love them or hate them, can't get enough of them or totally sick of them, truly show what it means to be American.

Additionally, she dominated both the major tennis competitions and the Women's Tennis Association rankings during much of her career despite formidable competition from other <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-women-tennis-players-right-now/pedro-cerrano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">top women tennis</a> players.Beyond Graf, the world of women's tennis has seen numerous notable ladies play the game during the years. Top names like Martina Navatilova, Serena Williams, Chris Evert, Monica Seles and Margaret Smith Court all come to mind among the best to ever play the game, as do Billie Jean King, Justine Henin, Maria Sharapova and Kim Clijsters. Each of these ladies have seen a great deal of success throughout the years and easily earn recognition as among the greatest female tennis players ever.While it's arguable whether these women are better than the greatest men's tennis players of all time, one thing is certain. They will go down, and already are recognized, as the best women to ever play the game of tennis. They hold the gold standard for aspiring female tennis players and have set that bar quite high for any who wish to follow in their footsteps.

The greatest left-handed athletes of all time are some of the greatest men and women to ever play baseball, basketball, football, hockey, tennis, and many other sports. These talented athletes dominated their respective sports all while being in a minority, as a left-handed person. These athletes are not by any means all of the left-handed athletes but simply the best of the left-handed sports players ever. But which athlete is best? Tell us which left-handed athlete you think was the best ever by voting, re-ranking, and adding your favorites below!While all sports will see their share of left-handed athletes, the hand orientation will affect some athletes more than others. Being left handed is something you might not notice for hockey players, such as Terry Sawchuk and Phil Esposito, basketball players, like Larry Bird and Bill Russell, or soccer players, like the great Pele, who often use both hands – or feet – regularly while playing the sport. For other sports, it's clearer when athletes use their dominant hands. Baseball has, what might, be the highest percentage of left-handed athletes of all major sports, and they are easy to spot when one takes the mound or lines up to hit. Babe Ruth is perhaps the best left-handed athlete ever but is joined by many other legendary baseball lefties, such as Ty Cobb, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and Barry Bonds. Tennis, boxing, and golf are other sports that allow southpaws shine. It's easy to spot <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/left-handed-tennis-players/left-handed">left-handed tennis players</a> like Monica Seles and John McEnroe, boxers like Oscar de la Hoya, and golfers like the great Phil Mickelson. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/famous-left-handed-people/left-handed">Left-handed people</a> may make up only around 10% of the population but they're some of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-athletes-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">top athletes of all time</a>. We'll never know if Deion Sanders would have seen the success he did had he been right handed or if Rafael Nadal would have ever become the King of Clay as a righty, but these talented athletes all persevered through their disadvantages to become legends, and we have nothing but respect for them for that.&nbsp;Who are some of the greatest left handed athletes?
