2013's List of Greatest People: 30-21

The start of the top 30. It's not like the top 40, as Ryan Seacrest would say back in the top 80. However, it does start to get whittled down some more. Any predictions?

30. Schmidt - I have no idea what his full name is. They've never said it. I do know that the New Girl scene-stealer is one of the funniest characters on television today.

29. John Krasinski - Another strong candidate for People's Sexiest Man Alive, but enough about that. He started out playing the young Jim Halpert and has grown into a genuine celebrity who seems like a great overall person.

28. Amy Adams - Sorry Jonah Hill, but I think Amy Adams is the true American sweetheart. She'll do any role so long as it doesn't suck. She's played everyone from Amelia Earhart to the girl in The Muppets to some dramatic role probably. Billy Eichner once said, "Tell your girlfriend to be more like Amy Adams and if she's not more like Amy Adams, tell her to pack her bags AND GET THE HELL OUT!"

27. Arthur Fonzarelli - The coolest guy of the 50s. Or is it the 70s? Henry Winkler will never tell. Probably because he's too senile to figure it out himself. Nonetheless, somewhere in Milwaukee, he's probably still fictionally punching jukeboxes and getting that music going again. Ayyyy!

26. Barack Obama - The Barack-ness monster. The Preezy of the United Steezy. He's probably the coolest President I've ever known! Hopefully he doesn't get impeached!

25. Santa Claus - The jolliest man ever. He is the definition of Christmas joy. He is the embodiment of happiness. Isn't that just the kind of guy you hope is truly out there somewhere - immortal or not.

24. Jenna Fischer/Pam Beesly - I had no idea how to decide between the two. Jenna Fischer seems like one of the nicest human beings and Pam Beesly Halpert is one of the most dynamic TV characters ever. So I grouped them together.

23. Seth Meyers - He's like the host to end all hosts. He hosted Weekend Update flawlessly. He hosted the ESPY's twice hilariously. He's sure to be a great host of the new 2014 Late Night.

22. John D. Ryder - My favorite radio personality on WEEI. He has a valuable insight and in-depth knowledge of the history of the Red Sox and Celtics. A great guy to fall asleep listening to as he talks sports.

21. Dan Andelman - He's a New England hero as the host of Phantom Gourmet. We share similar food taste, but he's a Sunday morning Massachusetts staple.
