If aliens judge us based on one human and it’s John Cena, we might actually survive this. Man grants Make-A-Wish wishes like it’s a side quest.

No joke, this is literally a plot point in Pluribus, check it out! Well, almost literally.

I don't think we can nominate a single ambassador, it almost has to be an entire delegation. Despite all the evidence of the worst, humanity has exemplary potential, but it's not one-size-fits-all. John Cena shows the positive power of dignity and compassion, but is that all that defines us? Humility and intellect go hand in hand too, who's the best representative of that? In the case of nominees who aren't alive, how do we present them? How do we highlight, say, the warmth and wisdom of Robin Williams?
There's a problem though. If we sat down and looked at what the most universally-recognized virtues are, and found the ideal representation of each in a living person, they'd have a frankly terrifying degree of societal influence. And the risk of the exemplar of Machiavellian ambition exploiting that influence to horrific ends is... troubling.
Maybe you're right, we just send one person. Or maybe the aliens don't make contact because of the delegation scenario. Or because they think we'll react the way we historically have at every turn: with violence.

Ok, so John Cena and Weird Al?

You have to get Jeff Goldblum.

Have you ever seen John Cena?
Exactly the aliens won’t be able to either

I'd enjoy a Three Amigo's style comedy where the Aliens think Cena is like the Predator because they think his wrestling persona is real.
