The show's guests included Davy Jones, Mayim Bialik, Lou Diamond Phillips, Tami Erin, Downtown Julie Brown, Michael Palin, William Shatner, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Michael Richards, New Kids on the Block and Robert Englund wearing his Freddy Krueger make-up and costume. One of the first musical guests on the show was the ska band Fishbone. Don't Just Sit there would not be a show without the establishment and guidance the show Double Dare had given. Will Friedle went on to play the role of Eric Matthews in the show "Boy Meets World" for the 7 seasons it was aired. He was quoted talking about how crazy it is that the shows are still very popular today. (en)
