The League is known by many for its premise. It follows a group of friends who play fantasy football. Some fans might say the show had a built-in fanbase with football fans before it even started. The League caters to these fans with appearances from several NFL stars throughout.
Athlete cameos give some of its best episodes. However, several guest stars appear in the series, and some of them haven't spent a minute of the field. From comedians to celebrated actors, The League has showcased some memorable appearances.

Fans know Keegan-Michael Key from his hit comedy show with Jordan Peele, Friends From College. He takes on a short-lived role in The League as Steve "Carmenjello."
Steve appears as a janitor whom Andre Nowzick rubs the wrong way by calling him by his janitorial company's name. He and Andre get massages together after an awkward and funny argument.
Eliza Dushku
Audiences might Eliza Dushku as Faith in Dollhouse. She plays a martial arts instructor in one episode of The League.

Smoove's role comes when Pete Eckhart is trying to buy sneakers. DeRon snatches up the last pair of shoes that Pete wants, forcing him to steal them back from him.
Meghan Markle
Perhaps the most eye-opening cameo in The League comes with Meghan Markle. The royal actress appears in the late 2000s, years before celebrity gossip magazines began running stories about her and Prince Harry.
Markle plays Meghan. She is one of the many women Pete Eckhart dates and appears after he leaves Meegan, his ex-wife who is a recurring character in the show.
Bob Odenkirk

Larry David
Larry David perhaps needs no introduction, as the renowned co-creator of Seinfeld. Others know him from his starring role as a fictionalized version of himself on his other show Curb Your Enthusiasm. In The League, he appears as an older version of one of the main characters.
David plays Rodney Ruxin in the distant future. He comes to audiences in a dream in the final season of the series. Comedy fans might say his appearance gives The League more credibility than perhaps it has before his cameo.
