The question arises whether Shakespeare is more famous than Homer Simpson or Sonic the Hedgehog or SpongeBob SquarePants or some other person.
It depends what group of people you are talking about. Among Americans who are poorly educated and watch a lot of TV, Homer Simpson is probably more famous than Shakespeare. Among some video gamers, maybe Sonic is more famous than Shakespeare. Among the billions of people who are not inundated with American culture, Shakespeare is probably the better known person.
