I have to make an argument that it's hard to think of a top 3 favorite New Jersey celebrity list that does not have Jack Nicholson on it.

Nothing against the stars who made the list, but, as the movie kind of said, "Where's Johnny"?

Here Are New Jersey Residents' Top 3 Favorite Celebrities

You voted for some incredible New Jersey talent. At #3 was Whitney Houston. Holding the second spot was Danny DeVito, and Frank Sinatra grabbed the #1 spot.

While I'm complaining that Jack Nicholson didn't make the top of the list, I have to throw Meryl Streep and Joe Pesci's names into the ring.

I love the three celebrities in the top three, and I'm not arguing against them. I'm just saying the top three should include six people. Hey, it's New Jersey.

Some Big Names Didn't Make The Top Three

Some other New Jersey celebrities who got votes but didn't reach the top 10 include Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, and James Gandolfini.

A surprising number of New Jersey residents votes themselves as their favorite Garden State celebrity. There's so much we can say about that, but we won't.
