Are there any other comedians who might have become president or prime minister in the past? (I don't count Ronald Reagan because despite "Bedtime for Bonzo" he was not known *primarily* as a comic actor.) Maybe if Fred Grandy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Grandy had won the 1994 GOP primary for governor of Iowa (whcih he narrowly lost to the incumbent Terry Branstad...)? Nancy Kulp's congressional candidacy was doomed from the start--it was just too Republican a district. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Kulp
(Gracie Allen's 1940 campaign
was a publicity stunt, though there's an urban legend that she got a large number of write-in votes.)
