2013's List of Greatest People: 20-11

The second to last installment of 2013's comprehensive list! After this there's just the top ten. Any surprises today or predictions for tomorrow?


20. Rob Gronkowski - Aaron Hernandez was in the first draft of this list. Aaron Hernandez was not in the second draft of this list. Gronk has been in both. He's such a fun, free-spirit on the Patriots that I hope he keeps yo soy fiesta-ing through his injuries.

19. Andy Bernard - During my re-watch of The Office, I noticed what a great character Andy is. His music is actually good and he dresses amazingly. He's a good guy, but he also has a dark side. I'll always love the Nard Dog.

18. Billy Eichner - Imagine this: you're walking down the streets of New York City when suddenly a crazed man with a microphone and a blue t-shirt sprints up to you, screaming questions about Meryl Streep and Bunheads at you. Wouldn't that guy be in your top 20 too?

17. Dagwood Bumstead - The highest ranking cartoon character on this strip. He dresses like he eats: fantastically. There's not much more I can say about this legend.

16. BJ Novak - He's played Ryan Howard, Robert Sherman and an unnamed Spiderman character. In addition to that, he's overtaken Ken Jennings as the funniest man on Twitter. Here's an example:



15. Ben Stiller - Last year's Number 10, drops down a bit, but not too far. It's only because he hasn't really been in anything this year, but he'll skyrocket again after Dodgeball 2. His filmography is so big that it has it's own Wikipedia page! Like Kevin James and Tom Hanks, he's also been in many of my favorite films: Happy Gilmore, Dodgeball, Tower Heist, etc.

14. Dwight Schrute - Modern day Renaissance man. Paper salesman. Regional manager. Beet farmer. He even plays the recorder! He'll go down as one of the most legendary television characters of all-time.

13. Roger Federer - Easily the nicest guy in all of sports. There's no man I'd rather shake hands with after a tennis match, presumably in a loss because he's the all-time winningest tennis player.

12. Jean Shepherd - Voice? He's got it. This man possessed the greatest voice in the history of mankind until his death in 1999. Not only did he narrate A Christmas Story, but he also played the lead role in A Carousel of Progress. I wish his voice always reverberated in my head.

11. Zooey Deschanel - She lucked out after Elf. Up until New Girl, I would watch Elf and be like who's that girl? I'd find out and would say that I've never heard of her. Now I'm like who's that girl when the New Girl theme song comes into play. Fox is really banking on that a-dork-able factor aren't they?
