Warning: ‘Sharknado 2’ pool of celebrity cameos runs deep

SHARE Warning: ‘Sharknado 2’ pool of celebrity cameos runs deep

The celebrity cameos come flying at you in Syfy’s “Sharknado 2: The Second One,” the campy follow-up to last summer’s pop culture phenomenon.

Some of the sequel’s stars turn into shark food before you can even figure out who they are.

Here’s a run down of the familiar faces — and a few not-so-familiar ones — in order of their appearance in “Sharknado 2,” debuting at 8 p.m. CDT Wednesday. Some spoilers lurk ahead but, come on, this ain’t “Homeland.”

1. Kelly Osbourne

Ozzy’s purple-haired daughter takes a ride on the crazy plane as a flight attendant for Santa Mira Airlines — and Fin Shepard’s (Ian Ziering) No. 1 fangirl.

2. Kelly Oxford

The Canadian Twitter queen and best-selling author (pictured) plays an airline passenger with a strong nose and weak bladder — both of which soon become the least of her problems.

3. Robert Hays

The hero of the 1980 comedy “Airplane!” (pictured below) is back in the cockpit as captain, this time with a little more gray hair and wrinkles.

4. Wil Wheaton

The “Star Trek: The Next Generation” actor is a random flight passenger who gets housed by a shark flying down the aisle.

5. Naked Cowboy

Times Square street performer shows off his tighty whities.

6. Matt Lauer

From the Sochi Olympics to sharknado breaking news, this veteran “Today” anchor is one versatile journo. (Not that “Good Morning America” plugs ever stood a chance; Syfy is part of the NBC Universal family.)

7. Andy Dick

Chicago-trained comic is a New York City cop unimpressed by Fin’s freak out in front of the TV cameras.

8. Downtown Julie Brown

An MTV VJ back in the good old days when MTV actually played music videos, the British-born TV personality (pictured right) swapped her funky outfits for a nondescript set of scrubs at Manhattan General Hospital, where she plays a nurse.

9 & 10. Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan

The “Live! With Kelly and Michael” hosts are left to scramble after April Wexler (Tara Reid) bails on their syndicated morning chatfest.

11. Billy Ray Cyrus

Aka Miley’s dad, he’s got to do some doctoring to fix April’s achy breaky hand.

12. Stephanie Abrams

The Weather Channel’s leggy meteorologist gives viewers the low-down on the storm, complete with one helluva weather map graphic.

13. Sandra “Pepa” Denton

This half of the musical duo Salt-N-Pepa had better push it, push it real good, because a storm’s a comin’.

14. Tiffany Shepis

A shark bites the tongue — and then some — of horror movies’ beloved scream queen (pictured in white top).

15. Al Roker

“Today” weather man promises a storm unlike any other — and he witnessed that Ann Curry debacle.

16. Judd Hirsch

The former “Taxi” star is still paying the bills behind the wheel of a yellow cab.

17. Judah Friedlander

Frank from “30 Rock” has traded in his trucker hat for a Mets cap. Too bad he can’t get Jack Donaghy’s help.

18. Thomas P. Vitale

Syfy’s vice president of programming orders hot dogs for the whole family at Citi Field. A lot of Vitales are listed in the credits. It’s good to be the boss.

19. Richard Kind

The “Mad About You” and “Spin City” star does a turn as a former Mets all-star who does some unusual pinch hitting.

20. Anthony C. Ferrante

The subway train’s guitar-strumming busker directed both “Sharknado” films. Deep down, I think he really wants to be a rock star.

21. Perez Hilton

The gossip blogger is sick and tired of waiting for the train. He’s probably got a hot Kimye tip to post.

22. Jared Fogle

The slimmed-down Subway spokesman snarfs a sandwich in the subway. (Say that three times fast.) Coming soon to a Subway near you: $5 shark fin footlongs.

23. Benjy Bronk

The “Howard Stern Show” fixture (pictured right) plays a homeless guy warning passersby about the imminent end of civilization. Turns out he’s kinda right.

24. Daymond John

Very clever to rope a “Shark Tank” mentor into the mix. Gotta love this Wall Street tycoon’s run-in with Lady Liberty.

25. Biz Markie

The rapper serves up slices of ‘za while slicing up sharks.

26. Robert Klein

Stand-up comic stands in as mayor of New York. If this were in Chicago (hint, hint, “Sharknado 3”), Rahm would’ve done it.

27. Kurt Angle

Pro wrestler fights flames — and shark attacks — as chief of the New York Fire Department. He’s actually a pretty good actor. Wait a minute…that wrestling stuff is real, right?

28. Michael Gelman

Highland Park native (pictured below, holding a Daytime Emmy) and producer of “Live With Kelly and Michael” — not to mention Regis before that — urges folks to stay calm. And then he proceeds to lose his head.
