Every 'Sharknado 3' Celebrity Cameo, Because Syfy Went All Out With The Star Power
"Oh hell no!" was my response when I heard a third Sharknado movie was being made — and the filmmakers knew that's how the public would be feeling and appropriately named the TV movie Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! The cast of Sharknado is known for their starring B-list actors Ian Ziering and Tara Reid, who will return as the leads for the third film. (I wouldn't have it any other way.) And, Bo Derek will be a new addition to the story as Reid's character's mom, May Wexler. But, with mass deaths and chaos due to sharks being in a tornado, there is room for a lot of new characters, which means tons of awesome celebrity cameos in Sharknado 3 .
The setting will be in Washington, D.C., so along with TV personalities and musicians, politicians will also be joining Syfy's third film in the Sharknado franchise that premieres on Wednesday, July 22. Before the impending shark storm happens, take a look at just some of the fabulous celebrity cameos that Syfy's press kit promises to occur in Sharknado 3.

Frankie Muniz
Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz hasn’t had a sizable acting role in many years. And, unlike his role in Don’t Trust The B— in Apartment 23, he won’t be playing a version of himself for his Sharknado 3 cameo — he’ll actually be the character Lucas Stevens who teams up with Nova Clarke to take the sharknado down.
David Hasselhoff
The man, the myth, the legend — David Hasselhoff — is gracing Sharknado 3 with his presence as Gilbert Shepard, the father of Ziering’s character Fin. The only question I have is: Why wasn’t Hasselhoff been in the previous movies? His epicness needs be around always.
Holly Madison
Former Playboy Bunny Holly Madison not only has a new memoir out , but she’ll be playing Lieutenant Harrison in Sharknado 3.
Kendra Wilkinson
Another former flame of Hugh Hefner, Kendra Wilkinson, will also be in Sharknado. So, where’s Hef’s cameo?
Penn & Teller
The comic duo of Penn and Teller will be playing employees of NASA — somehow I find this to be slightly believable.
Mark Cuban
Entrepreneur, Shark Tank shark, and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, is beefing up his résumé some more by portraying none other than the President of the United States.
Ann Coulter
And who is portraying the Vice President to Cuban’s President? The conservative political commentator Ann Coulter, of course.
Chris Jericho
The professional wrestler Chris Jericho has the credentials to beat up sharks, so his Sharknado cameo makes complete sense to me.
Jerry Springer
The talk show host will be portraying Mr. White in the movie, although IMDb has his role credited as “Manic Tourist.” Either way, I’m expecting high drama from the man who brings us The Jerry Springer Show.
The Hosts Of The 'TODAY' Show
The four hosts of NBC’s TODAY show — Savannah Guthrie, Matt Lauer, Natalie Morales, and Al Roker — will all be portraying themselves in the TV movie. I wonder if Roker predicted the (third) impending sharknado?
Hoda Kotb & Kathie Lee Gifford
Other contributors to the NBC morning talk show scene, Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, will also be bringing their zany antics to Sharknado since they’ll be portraying themselves. Let Kathie Lee & Hodi live!
Anthony Weiner
The former U.S. representative of New York (of d*ck pic fame) has found a home in Sharknado as the NASA Director.
Bill Engvall
Blue collar comedian Bill Engvall will be playing Gary Martin Hayes in Sharknado 3. Can Jennifer Lawrence also make a cameo as his daughter, please?
Chris Kirkpatrick
‘NSync fans, rejoice! “Bad boy” of the group, Chris Kirkpatrick, will be saving lives as a lifeguard in Sharknado 3. His cameo in the movie ties nicely with the announcement that ‘NSync and the Backstreet Boys will be making a zombie western film with the producers of Sharknado. Dreams do come true!
Elvis Duran
You’re used to hearing his voice, but now you’ll see radio personality Elvis Duran’s face too in Sharknado 3.
Lou Ferrigno
Hulk himself is also going to be battling the sharks this time around. He’s the man I’d want to be surviving with.
Kim Richards
Former child actress Kim Richards is returning to acting as Babs Jensen. She recently left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , so her fans will be happy with her TV cameo.
Maria Menounos
The beautiful TV personality Maria Menounos is portraying C.J. Sorkin in this epic battle against sharks.
Mark McGrath
Sugar Ray singer Mark McGrath is just going to want to fly away from the sharknado as Fin’s brother-in-law Martin Brody.
Michele Bachmann
Not to be left out of the social event that is Sharknado 3, Michele Bachmann is joining her fellow political comrades for the movie.
Ne-Yo
And singers also aren’t going to be left out! The R&B singer Ne-Yo will be playing the awesomely-named Agent Devoreaux.
Ray J
For the love of Ray J! He is another singer joining the cast. He’ll be playing NASA Tech Tom Major. Cue David Bowie singing, “Ground control to Major Tom.”
George R. R. Martin
The Game of Thrones author showed up to have his head taken off by a shark. At least now he knows how his characters feel!
