My vote is Louis Armstrong

Peyton Manning

Reggie Wayne
the quarterback throwing him the ball was also from New Orleans, and little more famous

Fixed your question.

Ed Reed would be before him.
If we are talking just football, Marshall Faulk is probably more known.

If I had to guess who would be the most famous based of a poll of people today I would say Peyton Manning. Even many people that don’t watch football have heard of him

Good one if you consider him "coming out of New Orleans"

Didn't he move when he was like 3? But yes it fits.
born there, moved away as a child, moved back in teen years for stretch, moved away, then back as an adult for another spell.
definitely strong enough ties to the city to be considered "from New Orleans"

You'd be very surprised, and he has an airport named after him.
I've been in Europe multiple times and when I said where I was from, multiple different people brought up Armstrong

depends on how the question is phrased.
the most famous person that every knows is from New Orleans?
probably is Peyton
literally everyone in America has heard of Oswald, so he's more famous.
just not everybody knows that he's from New Orleans.
also, not a contender for most famous, but gotta give a shout out to Carl Weathers.

I think the answer changes if you go worldwide vs just the United States.
Worldwide easily Louis Armstrong, I’d think.
Just the US Id say it’s probably either Lil Wayne or Peyton Manning.

Probably Ellen Degeneres or Harry Connick Jr, other than those already mentioned.
