Sam Walton
Donald W. Reynolds
Brad Pitt
Jon Hamm
(Toss Up) Between everyone on national news/sports shows and William F. Baker (The structural engineer for the Burj Khalifa and many of the other tallest buildings in the world)
Edit: to eliminate non grads, we replace with: Stan Kroenke, William Schwartz (guy that invented laser weapons), or Linda Godwin/Richard Richards (astronauts).
Also, Mizzou holds the first patent on human cloning.

I always forget about Cook. I'd agree that Andrews is growing rapidly in popularity...

Missouri also has Pam from the office. I think her name is Jenna Fischer? Webster Groves?

I don't think Pam was Mizzou, she's from Missouri but I think she went to Truman State.
Erin from The Office is a Missourian too, but didn't go to Mizzou.

I don't know where she went to college, but I know where she went to HS. My cousin went to the same school, but years later.

Lee was actually a Newberry College boy, but he did get his MBA from SC so he counts I guess. Loved that guy and still miss him today.

Looking through the wiki for LSU alumni, I just realized my friends wife has a wikipedia entry about her.

This is so dumb. No actor or actress, unless they're one of the greatest of all time, should be on any list like this.
She's a D list actress who's never done anything of real value.

But Joanne Woodward also went to LSU, so let's just pretend I was friends with Paul Newman.

My first thought - "Haha the Jerry Springer of sports went to UT!"
Then I wondered, "Where did Jerry Springer go to school?"
Looked it up and it's Tulane.

Wrong.
He received an undergraduate degree in accounting from Mississippi State University in 1977.
OM can't claim Grisham on post graduate work.
