Amy Poehler
Maybe Amy Poehler is a top-tier comedian, but she was on top of the cheer pyramid once too! The legend of SNL cheered and sang in Massachusetts for Burlington High School. She then went to Boston College and finally went to Chicago, where she not only learned to cheer, but also to laugh.

Danielle Brooks
Danielle Brooks is known for her lead role in Orange Is the New Black, but she was also a part of her high school cheer squad back in high school. Eventually, she quit the team because the short skirts made her feel insecure. Later on, she wrote about her experience on her blog by saying, “Never quit anything again because you’re scared of what others might think of you – unless you become an exotic dancer, the only exception. But even then only quit because you want to.”
