I love to eat nachos. Who are some famous people that also publicly loved nachos?
I'm sorry to break it to you, but anti-vaccine nutjob Jenny McCarthy is also an avowed fan of nachos.

Heh, you said "nachos."
Beavis: Heh...heh... I'm Beavis, dammit. My goal is to get some nachos, now!
Butthead: These nachos rule!
There are probably more quotes.

If fictional is fine, “reverse fossilized” Bender B. Rodriguez from Futurama loved them briefly and intensely.

For some reason, we do not properly celebrate the life of Ignacio Anaya, the inventor of Nachos. Perhaps you will be as surprised as I was to learn that the invention of Nachos as we know them is not lost in the mists of time, but pretty well known in time, place, and person.

I just saw a very nice twitter pic of nachos the other day...I think it was Neil Patrick Harris. And he is a pretty talented dude, so there's that...yes, it's still on his twitter feed for verification!

I'm not sure what the other version thought, but cartoon Gerald Ford on The Simpsons was a fan.
Gerald Ford: Say, Homer, do you like football?
Homer: Do I ever!
Gerald Ford: Do you like nachos?
Homer: Yes, Mr. Ford.
Gerald Ford: Well, why don't you come over and watch the game and we'll have nachos, and then some beer.

At my childhood, neighborhood Mexican restaurant in South Phoenix-Ponchos, President Clinton showed up and enjoyed a plate of Nachos. There is a mural that memorializes this, complete with secret service man in the corner.

Depending on how 'famous' you will take it, the Mosh Potatoes cookbook includes a Nacho Pie recipe from Coheed and Cambria members and another nacho recipe that is...a nacho recipe made with jarred sauce, from the vocalist from Chimaira.

On the one hand, it's important to remember that people in the past were just like us, and just as smart as us, no matter how weird their beliefs seem.
On the other hand, everyone in the world before WW2 was too stupid to make nachos.

Best answer: In the introduction to the Hyperbole and a Half book, Allie Brosh responds to her childhood self asking what her favarite [sic] food is, by saying, "Nachos. Which is fortunate, because in the future, you're dysfunctional and you don't take care of yourself, so you end up eating a whole lot of nachos."

How Howard Cosell helped bring nachos to the world:
“Cosell was trying to take up some dead air and he says ‘They brought us this new snack—what do they call them? knock-o’s or nachos?’” recalls (Frank’s son Tony) Liberto. “He started using the word ‘nachos’ in the description of plays: ‘Did you see that run? That was a nacho run!’”posted by Etrigan at 7:29 AM on January 30, 2015 [2 favorites]
Cosell and others used the word for weeks after, allowing nachos to branch out from their Texas birthplace.
There is a bit in Tina Fey's _Bossypants_ where she talks about nachos becoming a Thing.
