Do you count Drew Carey in there? I hear he’s pretty right-wing, although I don’t exactly know how “out there” he is.

Quoth the Wiki:

Political views[edit]
Carey is an outspoken libertarian.[47][48][49][50] He has expressed his political philosophy in the following terms, “I believe the answers to all the problems we face as a society won’t come from Washington, it will come from us. So the way we decide to live our lives and our decisions about what we buy or don’t buy are much more important than who we vote for.”[51]

Carey expressed his distaste for the Bush administration’s management of the Iraq War, specifically on the September 15, 2007, episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. He made donations to Ron Paul’s presidential campaign for the 2008 election.[52] On the September 26, 2008, episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Carey defined “libertarian” to host Craig Ferguson as “a conservative who still gets high.”[53]

Carey has spoken about his various political beliefs in several interviews, and in 1998 he led a “smoke-in” in defiance of California’s newly passed no-smoking ordinance inside bars and restaurants.[54] Carey has hosted a series of mini-documentaries called The Drew Carey Project on reason.tv, an online project of Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank.[55] The first episode, “Gridlock”, addresses private highway ownership and was released on October 15, 2007. Other episodes discuss topics such as eminent domain, urban traffic congestion, and medical marijuana. Carey also sits on the board of trustees of the Reason Foundation, a libertarian-oriented nonprofit organization.[56]

Yeah, he’s out there on Mars, but he at least isn’t throwing his political brain droppings out on Twitter like Sajak and Woolery have, AFAIK.
