Syfy is celebrating May 4 by revealing the first batch of Sharknado 4 cameos -- and if you were looking forward to some crazy ones, you won't be disappointed. 

The franchise that once made Mark Cuban the President of the United States will present some more alt-world insanity, with castings like Dr. Drew Pinsky (who plays a pastor), David Faustino (who plays a gambler), and Stacey Dash (who plays Mayor of Chicago). Poor Chicago.
