All the 'Rick and Morty' Guest Stars Confirmed for Season 3
These are some pretty big names, Morty.
As Adult Swim’s widely beloved Rick and Morty gears up to air Episode 2 of its long-awaited third season Sunday, July 30, the animated sci-fi show is continuing what will be its most star-studded season of the show yet.
Co-creator Justin Roiland might voice both of the title characters on Rick and Morty, but the show has also employed a number of other comedic voice actors to play one-off characters. Previous seasons have included guest stars like Werner Herzog, Jemaine Clement, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver, just to name a few.
But as the show has seen explosive success in the nearly two years since the Season 2 finale aired, the reach of Rick and Morty has only exploded. In an interview with IndieWire, co-creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon rattled off a list of guest star names that would be included in the rest of Season 3. While we have no way of know what most of their characters might be, be on the lookout as episodes resume for the following voices:

Keith David
When Earth was beset by Cromulons in “Get Schwifty” — Season 2, Episode 5 — the President of the United States (as voiced by Keith David) sought the help of Rick to come up with a song that would satisfy the giant, weird heads.
Keith David proved an entertaining and comical addition to the show. While it’s uncertain how or why the President might call upon Rick once again, this might tip us off that the entire Earth might be in danger once again.

Rick and Morty Season 3 continues on Sunday, July 30 at 11:30 p.m. Eastern on Adult Swim.
