The effect of celebrity political endorsements is yet to be measured and sometimes their involvement can do more harm than good, but President Obama is apparently scouting a number of big names for their support as he attempts to remain in office another four years.

The President may have Jay-Z on speed dial and can count legions of Hollywood’s stars as his elite cheerleaders, but according to The Tenneseean (the publication that obtained the document) the Obama campaign has a list of 194 public figures that was reportedly distributed to a group of donors in Washington last month as a “wish-list” of endorsers.

This isn’t the full list but it’s apparently Obama’s top picks (there are some interesting names here):
