This late-night host’s giggles are as infectious as the common cold, except a lot more fun to deal with. Plus, the lighthearted nature of his show always makes it a warm and inviting place for viewers and guests.

If Golden Retrievers could make music, it’d sound like the heartfelt wonders that John Legend produces.

Drew Barrymore’s welcoming demeanor is what landed her here because, between her smile and her genuine excitement for the smallest of things, she’s a pure joy.

This Spider-Man actor is like a year-old Golden pup who is the most irresistible of the pack. Yes, a little mischievous if you let him out of your sight but always adorable.

One cannot mention universally beloved animal breeds and not draw a comparison to one of the most beloved human beings in Hollywood. Seriously, point us toward someone who doesn’t think Paul Rudd is awesome. It’s impossible.

Keke Palmer embodies a Golden’s grace and loyalty. Plus, she’s got a smile that could brighten anyone’s day.

An Australian Retriever, but a Golden all the same.

This breed of dog is perfect for families with kids, and John Cena is just that. If being the world-record holder of the most Make-A-Wish wishes granted doesn’t scream "great with kids," what does?

The way people perk up with they see a Golden Retriever out in the world? Yeah, Jennifer Coolidge garners that same excited reaction from people.

Jason Momoa seems like the type that would accompany someone on an all-day hike and not complain. He’d just be happy to be there on the adventure with them.

With her comedic wit, Ayo Edebiri definitely has the smarts of a retriever that can’t be denied.

If they were ever going to remake Homeward Bound, Tom Hanks would be the obvious choice for the Golden Retriever. He’s got that old spirit wisdom to him.

Kenan Thompson got his start when the Golden Retriever renaissance happened in the ‘90s, and like those cinematic dogs, he’s been a warm presence in fans’ lives ever since.

She has the playful presence the breed is known for.

There’s something stoic and sweet about the Saltburn actor that makes us believe he’d wait for you at the window with those big, puppy-dog eyes.

Dogs are man’s best friend, and Ryan Reynolds is every man’s crush.

It's not just because she has golden hair. No. This is based on popularity because there ain’t no one more sought-after than Ms. Swift.

Like a Golden Retriever, Al Roker will never not be there for you when you wake up.

Golden Retrievers have no flaws, just like Keanu Reeves.

If Golden Retrievers could sing, we bet they’d out-sing every other breed — like Kelly Clarkson often does with her covers of other artists’ music.
