TV’s hairiest stars
Vilanch is a hairy, gay, straight-edge, Jewish friend of Whoopi. A frequent contributor to the Academy Awards comedy script, he’s also a former contestant on Hollywood Fit Club. His trademark (very useful when you are only sort of funny) is a rotund profile, a mop of longish hair on top and a bushy beard obscuring two-thirds of his face. The hair colors dont always match, but hey, thats comedy folks! (Damian Dovarganes / Associated Press)
Everybody loves a hairy guy. Or at least everybody loved Rupert Boneham, the two-time “Survivor” loser who became a fan favorite. He was so popular, in fact, that when CBS asked America to vote for the “Survivor” contestant they most wanted to see win $1 million, Rupert Boneham received four out of every five votes (as well as a hefty check). Hairy equals furry, and furry equals cute! (Rob Carr / Associated Press)
