That's who I associate him with. He also had a "punk'd" show prior to punk'd i think.

Apparently he was also Ghost of Christmas Past in Larry the Cable Guy's Christmas Spectacular.

I stand corrected. Suck it, White Sox!

More current, if not quite as prominent: Dylan O'Brien of MTV's TeenWolf, who outs himself on his Twitter profile and in a Seventeen interview:

7. What's your dream job? General Manager for the Mets.

(h/t my tween niece, Alyssa)

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Comedian Amy Schumer, who is from Long Island and is the niece of Senator Chuck, is a Mets fan according to her bio on Hulu.

I'd seen her on a roast earlier this year-- Sheen, maybe?-- and wondered whether she was a senatorial relation.

Quite the potty mouth on that one.

Is he still in show business?

Irish mentioned Ty Burrell of Modern Family as a MLBS on page one of this thread, but here's more evidence. Interviewer Jordan Zakarin also identifies himself as a Mets fan, but his shotness level is not quite as large.

Nuts for nothing but that's a good interview , he knows his Mets.

Dying

THR: It�s small and compact. I was just at the new Yankee Stadium. Burrell: Ugh. THR: It�s massive. Burrell: A big mausoleum.

[Guest themetfairy]

That settles it - Ty Burrell is my new celebrity crush!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The name is Bixby..... Clive Bixby.

[Guest themetfairy]

Um, that wasn't necessary....

[metirish]

That was a great episode .

[G-Fafif]

Gil Velazquez of the Marlins on CitiVision last weekend reminded me of Clive Bixby. Perhaps another nom de plume for Phil Dunphy for another Valentine's Day.

[MFS62]

I got home too late to see it, but wifey told me that on the premier episode of Elementary, Lucy Liu wore a Mets cap.
Later

Good actor and not-so-good filmmaker Ed Burns talks Mets.

[Farmer Ted]

I saw Burns in the Citi Field team store a coupla years back, after a drubbing to the Giants IIRC. Toting his kid and had an agent-type hanging around. He was looking at chickwear, prolly for his utimate wifey watch babe, Christy. She's a fan.

We knew this, right?

No idea. I mean, he's from Roosevelt (or maybe Freeport), but for a guy at the top of his career right in the middle of the period when the Mets were the biggest team on the planet, he sure wore a lot of Pirates hats.

Time to put that Twitter account you don't use and ask him why a Mets fan wore so many Pirates hats.

I think I remember seeing somewhere that the hat was in honor of the "all-black" lineup of Pops' mid-70s Pirates, for both baseball reasons and a symbol of "black strength."

Harper Lee. Did we know this?

Good find....

[Gwreck]

I didn't. Nice find.

[Edgy MD]

She made it in a few years ago, I think.
