After making its debut on The Dana Carvey Show in 1996, The Ambiguously Gay Duo, an animated sketch show, was an instant comedy hit. It soon relocated to Saturday Night Live, where it became even more popular. Voicing the lead crime-fighting characters were Stephen Colbert as Ace and Steve Carell as Gary.
Both Colbert and Carell also starred in a live action version of The Ambiguously Gay Duo on SNL in 2011. Though it was Jon Hamm and Jimmy Fallon playing Ace and Gary, while Colbert and Carell played villains, Dr. Brainio and Bighead. These two clearly became a lot more famous as time went by, especially Carell, whose film career soared after starring in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy in 2004 and The 40-Year-Old-Virgin in 2005. We have so many laughs to thank him for!

Perhaps the most well-known celebrity that loves Lake Como is George Clooney. He has a villa with over a dozen rooms here so he can bring all his friends along to relax, get away, and party. Villa d’Este is another popular place celebrities choose to stay because of its attention to privacy. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bette Midler, or Sylvester Stallone!
