Bethel College also lists some famous history majors, but I haven't had time yet to check out their authenticity. Some I am almost certain are wrong - like Woodrow Wilson. While you might be able to claim that Wilson was a historian or taught history, I don't think he majored in history. I'm pretty sure it was political science or government that was his major. But once I've checked out the claims, I'll add them to my list as well.

Hello! I want to compile a list of famous history majors too! but your list is far longer.
The ones I have are Conan O'Brien, Jeneane Garofalo, and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Thanks for the post.
History is the greatest major in college EVER!
Sam Palmisano, the CEO of IBM, also was a history major (Johns Hopkins)
Larry David too!
