As for the biggest/most famous guest star appearing on TAGS at the time the
episode aired, I would probably vote for either Buddy Ebsen or Bill Bixby,
although both appeared on TAGS just prior to becoming more famous with their
own starring roles in television.
Interesting to note that TAGS never had someone appearing as "himself" or
"herself" on the series. John Wayne's appearances in both I Love Lucy and the
Beverly Hillbillies were as himself, as was Danny Thomas' appearance in The
Dick Van Dyke Show. In a way, it would seem a bit out of place to have
somebody like that show up in Mayberry, even though it was always fun to hear
them talk about their favorite celebrities (Ceasar Romero, Gary Cooper, Rock
Hudson, Cary Grant, Gabby Hayes, etc.) as well as the fictional celebrities
that we did see like Keevy Hazelton and Tina Andrews.
