Default How to count commas in a cell?

Hi Everyone
I have cells with lists of people in them (ie as a list of names, divided by
commas.
I need to count the total number of people in all the cells.
For instance, A1 = Tom, John, Bob
A2 = Kate, Uma, Deidre

I figure if I can count the commas and add 1 to each cell, I'll have the
solution.
But I can't get the count functions to work on a comma (not even as ",")

Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
