In four seasons of two video, entertainment and talk shows on two channels in two countries, Max Headroom had a number of extremely high-profile guests. This page lists all of them and the shows on which they appeared.
Talk Show & Interview Guests
Name links are to Wikipedia pages.
Notes
- The two appearances by Sting are the same interview with slightly different edits.
- Despite persistent references to the contrary, Luis Cardenas was never a guest on any Max show. He did have a video on a Season 3 show.
Performers
In addition to big-name interview guests, the shows often had other performers appear - but under restricted conditions. These performances were all oddball comedy skits, shown as framed video clips shot on the show set and often involving the audience. They were never shown as a linear part of the show and may have been audience warmup acts given a small segment of airtime in compensation - or, if amusing and bizarre enough, to fill out the show.
Max's specific comedy skits (as distinct from his usual in-form video riffs) are included here as well.
Name links are to Wikipedia pages, where available. Listing is complete only through Episode CH4.3.9.
