You probably weren't expecting to find Brian Baumgartner, better known as Kevin from The Office, on a list of top celebrities for 2021. Chances are, you completely forgot about Lindsay Lohan’s brief stint on the small screen in the 2012 made-for-TV film Liz & Dick, and haven’t thought about Alex Hooper (a contestant on seasons 13 and 15 of America's Got Talent) in years, either.

But on Cameo, the app that allows you to purchase personalized video messages from celebrities, these stars share something big in common: They all made it onto the company’s list of the most requested TV personalities of the year, through July 31.

This recently released round-up, as seen on USA Today, is full of weird and random inclusions—it reads like a who's who of stars from yesteryear—but that's part of what makes it so much fun. Actor James Marsters (who played Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is in the top five, and reality-show figures like Big Ed, who appeared on 90-Day Fiancé, and Bennett Kirschner from Married at First Sight also made the cut.

You can see the full list of Cameo's most requested TV stars (and their rates) below.
