Did anyone besides the writers and director become famous?

I think this is a pretty brilliant film that manages to one-up even vintage 1970s SNL. Did any of the performers go on to any kind of fame besides the writers and director?

It seems that most of the cast really went nowhere.

The people who appeared onscreen and were already famous at the time were Donald Sutherland, Bill Bixby, Tony Dow, Henry Gibson, and George Lazenby. So no, looks like.
