Even though there's no such thing as the "A-list," it's still a (fake) list on which nearly everyone in Hollywood aspires to be mentioned. When you're mentioned on the A-list, that means your name is synonymous with success: movie studios are chasing you to appear in their films (and your days of auditioning are over), the most exclusive restaurants and nightclubs will go out of their way to have you visit, every brand in the world would love to have you endorse them, and virtually everyone in the world knows your name.

And then there's the "C-list." While most of us common folk would be happy even appearing on this list, being mentioned among this group is often a bad sign for Hollywood types. This designation is reserved for those folks who were remembered for their flash of success in the past, but with no real success or reason to be remembered ever since. They might make celebrity appearances on random places like game shows, reality television series, or even lower-budget commercials, but they no longer command the attention of the Hollywood bigwigs like they previously did.

For those who used to be on the A-list, they often have a hard time reconciling with their new anonymity. After all, there's nothing like Hollywood fame. And once you're officially on the C-list, that means that the rest of your industry – and your fans – have moved on without you.

Here's our list of 19 people who were once on top of the world, but are now closer to everyday members of the world like you and I. In other words, here's our list of 19 people who went from A-list to C-list status.

Bob Saget

There was a time when Danny Tanner, one of the main characters of ABC's hit show Full House, was perhaps the most famous corny clean-freak paternal figure in the entire state. Even though the lovable television dad made his way up into Hollywood as a ridiculously raunchy stand-up comedian, Bob Saget (who played Tanner) was one of the most recognizable – and marketable – names on primetime television. That's a huge reason why, after Full House stopped airing new episodes, Saget was made the host of the new television show America's Funniest Home Videos. But Saget's popularity has waned and decreased since his heyday of the mid-1990's. Outside of popping up on Netflix's Full House reboot Fuller House, and a Grammy-nominated comedy album that was released in 2014, nobody really knows – or cares – what Saget is up to these days.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Tim Allen might have been the star of ABC's hit sitcom Home Improvement, but Jonathan Taylor Thomas was unquestionably the breakout star of the show. He was only 10 years old when the show first debuted, but as the sitcom soared to popularity during the 1990s, Thomas quickly became one of the top "teen heartthrobs" in what could be considered the golden age of teen heartthrobs on television and in music. He also parlayed his success on Home Improvement into providing the voice of a young Simba in Disney's hit movie The Lion King. However, in 1998, Thomas left the show to focus on academics, and while he continued to dabble in films and television, and he never got anywhere close to being the household name – or the face adorned on many young women's bedroom walls – that he once was.

Aaron Carter

Aaron Carter was publicly performing on stages from the age of 10 years old, when he opened for his older brother's band (The Backstreet Boys) in the late 1990s. From there, his album titled Aaron's Party (Come Get It) sold more than three million copies in the United States, and went certified triple platinum. He was performing alongside Brittney Spears at concerts, and dating Hilary Duff; in other words, he was enjoying life. But his decent into C-list irrelevance was almost as meteoric as his rise, as over the next three years, his music career stalled, his love life stalled (he betrayed Duff), and his attempt at a reality television stardom failed as well. These days, the only thing he's remembered for is his stint in rehab, and his 2017 declaration that he was bi.

Ben Savage

Ask yourself: outside of portraying Cory Matthews, is there any other reason that actor Ben Savage should be famous? Nobody will deny the fact that he became one of the most beloved figures in family sitcom history, thanks to his work on ABC's Boy Meets World. But once that show ended after an eight-year run, Savage was basically one of those actors who popped up in random television cameos for the next decade and more. For someone who was essentially a household name in the 1990s, Savage became so typecast as Cory Matthews that nobody offered him any real work. That is, until the Disney Channel came calling in 2014, when they decided to launch a spin-off series called Girl Meets World, where Savage would get to reprise his role, again, as a Cory Matthews.

Wesley Snipes

Wesley Snipes became a household name when he co-starred with Woody Harrelson in the legendary sports comedy White Men Can't Jump. People also forget that he was one of the original Marvel superheroes to appear on the big screen, when he was the lead character in the film Blade, which grossed over $150 million worldwide (and ended up being the first part of a trilogy). But these days, Snipes is known more for being sentenced to prison in 2008 for income tax evasion, and trying to appeal his case all the way up to the United States Supreme Court (who refused to grant his appeal). After his recent co-starring role in The Expendables 3, his last two films were unspectacular enough that they were direct-to-video releases.

Joey Lawrence

Joey Lawrence was one of the first real teen heartthrobs on television, when he played the character of Joey Russo on the show Blossom. As said character, he'll forever be remembered for his catchphrase "Whoa!" that he often repeated. But these days, the only thing that's "Whoa!" about Lawrence is his current financial situation. While he's dabbled in other television roles, including the show Melissa & Joey opposite Melissa Joan Hart, he was never able to come close to recapturing his earlier fame. Meanwhile, there were reports that surfaced this spring that Lawrence and his wife had filed for bankruptcy the previous summer, at one point having less than $9,000 in total liquid assets, and earning less than $60,000 as his salary in 2016. By comparison, the couple's monthly expenses were over $25,000.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi

It's debatable if Nicole Polizzi, forever known as "Snooki" to the numerous fans (and critics) of MTV's headline-generating reality television series Jersey Shore, was ever actually a true A-list celebrity. However, for a show that captured the nation's interest, for better or for worse, she was easily one of the show's most memorable characters, if nothing else for her goofy and ridiculous ways in general. She was a staple on the talk show circuit, and even competed at WrestleMania XXVII in 2011. But similar to that of her cast mates, once the show ended, we barely ever heard from Snooki again; many people might consider that a good thing. Her latest venture was trying her hand at boxing promotions, creating a "Team Snooki Boxing" organization co-promoted via a cooperative venture with Final Round Promotions (a boxing card at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City).

Bret Michaels

Members of Generation X, and some of the older millennials, will forever remember Bret Michaels as the lead singer of the glam metal band Poison, and the crooner of the great rock ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." But while Michaels was indeed a great singer, his solo career, launched in the late 1990s, never came close to reaching the levels of success enjoyed by Poison. After releasing several albums during the first decade of the 2000s, Michaels eventually tried his hand at reality television, first with a behind-the-scenes documentary of his life called Brett Michaels: Life As I Know It, and then as the main prize of the dating competition Rock Of Love with Bret Michaels. The latter show went for three seasons.

Kristin Cavallari

Kristin Cavallari was one of the trust fund brigade whose lives were followed by MTV during their hit reality television show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, and then pseudo-sequel to the show Laguna Hills. She made her name as something of an antagonist to beloved figure Lauren Conrad in both shows, as she played the "attractive bad girl" role perfectly. Since then, outside of a few cameos in television shows, acting as a judge on a few reality television shows, and a role in the straight-to-DVD film, National Lampoon's Van Wilder: Freshman Year, Cavallari hasn't achieved nearly the same level of fame – or infamy – that she previously enjoyed. Instead, she's been a supporting wife to former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, and a loyal mother to the couple's three sons.

Rob Schneider

In the early 1990s, long before his shtick as ridiculous characters in even more ridiculous film ideas, Rob Schneider was one of the top talents on NBC's Saturday Night Live, alongside fellow legendary alums Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, and the late Chris Farley. Like many of his cohorts, he tried his hand at the film game, but outside of the films which were produced by and starred Sandler, Schneider's film career was more of a punchline than an actual meal ticket. After all, nobody was going to mention a film like Deuce Bigalo in the same breath as Citizen Kane. He made a little bit of a blip back in the public awareness when he became the spokesperson for State Farm Insurance, but was later dropped from the role as the company did not want to be associated with his anti-vaccination views.

Kendra Wilkinson

Kendra Wilkinson was the sporty, ditzy blond bombshell that was one of the late Hugh Hefner's famous trio of girlfriends that starred in The Girls Next Door, created by Hugh's magazine. Said trio – comprised of her, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt – were beloved by watchers, as women around the world got to see how these bunnies were just like any other woman, and guys got to see a bunch of ridiculously good-looking women wearing little during various episodes of the show. Wilkinson left the show after she started dating (and eventually married) former NFL player Hank Baskett, and unsurprisingly, her fame kind of went downhill from there. Her and Baskett had their own reality television shows like Kendra and Kendra On Top, but they weren't nearly as popular. Lately, the only time you hear Wilkinson's name pop up is when the tabloids discuss the marital issues between her and Baskett, or the various reality television show roles in which she's participated.

Joey Fatone

In the late 1990s, the majority of teenage Americans probably couldn't name five members of the President's executive cabinet, but nearly all of them could probably name all five members of the massively popular boy band NSYNC, of which Joey Fatone was a member. Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick joined up with Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez to form the group (Lance Bass was added to finalize its formation), and the rest, as they say, was history. But once the band split up, like the other members of the group, Fatone has dabbled in a few television and reality television show roles, and even did some work for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), but nothing that would give him anything close to the fame he enjoyed as a member of the legendary boy band.

Frankie Muniz

Frankie Muniz didn't fade into Hollywood oblivion because the public got tired of his antics, or because Hollywood stopped caring he existed. Rather, after a very distinguished acting career, which included the starring role of the eponymous Malcolm In The Middle television show and the Agent Cody Banks film (and its sequel), along with significant roles in a variety of teen sitcoms and comedy films, Muniz decided he wanted to walk away from the acting game in 2006. After that, he pursued a variety of interests he had otherwise put off to the side during his acting days, including car racing (he's successfully competed in three different races), and music (he played in a band, and currently manages one as well, travelling with them on various gigs).

Kate Gosselin

Kate Gosselin was once one of the biggest names in reality television, if though there was a large swath of the viewing public who wish that wasn't the case. After giving birth to sextuplets – six children at one time – with former husband Jon Gosselin, the couple became reality television fixtures from networks who wanted to follow the family's process of raising eight children (she and Gosselin had two previous children prior the sextuplets). That led to the creation of the infamous television show Jon & Kate Plus 8. However, with the unrelenting public eye following the couple everywhere, that burden strained the couple's relationship, which led to her and Jon's divorce, and the subsequent tabloids stories that basically torpedoed the reputation of both parents. Most people now look back on that couple and think to themselves, "Why did we ever care about them to begin with?"

Tara Reid

Many people thought that Tara Reid would be one of the breakout stars of first the two American Pie films, given the blond's sultry looks and seductively raspy voice. Lord knows she had her chances, being given starring roles in films like Josie and the Pussycats, Van Wilder, and My Boss's Daughter. However, her work in each of those films failed to impress, and that's when things went off the rails for Reid. She had a miserable string of enhancements that ended up going horribly wrong, coupled with a series of relationships (and marriages) that fizzled as quickly as they started. Between 2000 and 2011, she was romantically linked to several individuals, and engaged twice: once to former Total Request Live host Carson Daly, and the other to internet entrepreneur Michael Axtmann; both relationships ended before she ever got married.

Tila Tequila

Long before today's 20-something models have made their careers based off being "Insta-famous," Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen – better known as "Tila" – was the original social-media-star-turned-celebrity, capitalizing on her popularity on the once-popular Myspace platform. She modeled for top men's publications like Maxim and Stuff, and captured attention for her reality television dating competition A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, which featured contestants who were both men and women (Tequila has openly admitted to being bi). But after the TV spotlight moved on without her, she went the usual route of trying to launch a music career (which obviously failed). She did make headlines again in 2015, but for the wrong reasons: she voiced antisemitic and white nationalist beliefs as a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, which obviously led to her expulsion.

Mike Myers

Mike Myers is a testament to Hollywood's "what have you done for me lately" treatment of movie stars; one day, you're on top of the world, and the next day, few people even remember you exist. Take Mike Myers, for example. He was a brilliant comedian and a huge reason Saturday Night Live became one of America's defining primetime broadcasts. His work producing and starring in the Wayne's World and Austin Powers film franchises was absolutely brilliant. He provided the voice for the Shrek film franchise, which basically put DreamWorks Animation on the proverbial map. And yet, with one clunker of a film – 2008's The Love Guru – everyone wrote off Myers as something of a has-been. It got to the point where Myers was starring in commercials for Sears Canada, which later filed for bankruptcy.

Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy went from being one of the greatest stand up comedians of all time to one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood during the 1980s and 1990s. As of 2014, Murphy was among the top six actors in all-time film earnings, with his movies having grossed over $3.8 billion in the United States and Canada box office and $6.6 billion worldwide. But after his work in 1996's The Nutty Professor, or maybe 1998's Dr. Doolittle, Murphy didn't seem to resonate with audiences like he once did. He was admittedly brilliant as the voice of "Donkey" in the Shrek films, but people easily forget that it's Murphy's voice. It's actually gotten to the point that Eddie's late brother Charlie had become more famous than him, thanks to Charlie's recurring role on Dave Chappelle's skit comedy series Chappelle's Show.

Lindsay Lohan

It might be a long time before we see a starlet enjoy a meteoric ascent, and even more meteoric crash into irrelevance, in the same way both happened to Lindsay Lohan. Lohan went from talented child star to teen icon, to public train wreck and total punchline, and she's still in her early 30s. She starred in Mean Girls, which still remains one of the most beloved teen comedy movies of all time, even though it's been 14 years since the film was released (in 2004). Unable to truly build upon the success of that film, and with continued issues around allegations of substance abuse, issues caused by the strained relationship between her mother and father (Dina Lohan and Michael Lohan), and the cruel nature of the film industry quickly moving on to "the next big thing," Lohan has become a complete afterthought in Hollywood, even if she's still one of the most recognizable names.
