Can you name these celebrity guest stars on 'Diff'rent Strokes'?

Try to I.D. these famous faces from the White House, the world of sports and beyond.

Arguably, no other sitcom has had bigger guest stars. Ever. What other family comedy can claim to have visitors from the White House, from Olympic podiums, from heavyweight championship rings, from Super Bowl halftime shows, and from the Halls of Fame of the MLB and NBA? 

That's not to mention the many other familiar Hollywood faces, both old and young, that turned up on Diff'rent Strokes over its eight seasons. The following celebrities popped in on the Drummonds between 1978 and 1985. Test your pop culture knowledge of the era and see if you know what we're talkin' 'bout.
  1. First, it's a First Lady!
  2. She turned up in 10 episodes, years before becoming a global icon.
  3. The legendary comedian played a rabbi.
  4. This Yankees icon had a candy bar named after him.
  5. The NBA star was rather tall for a substitute teacher.
  6. Recognize this Academy Award winner in an early role?
  7. Yep, another sports legend, just hanging out in a robe.
  8. He apparently drove this car to work on the studio lot.
  9. Can you name this Olympic gold medalist?
  10. This 1980s teen icon first appeared onscreen in this very episode.
  11. Okay, obviously this is Mr. T. But what does the "T" stand for in his real last name?
  12. He was a Bond villain, once.
  13. This 1960s TV star was once "creepy and kooky."
  14. This Gen-X actor was recently cast in season three of HBO's 'True Detective.'
