Six Degrees Of "Weird Al" Yankovic

Sun Nov 07, 2004 2:53 am

George Carlin was in "Jersey Girl" with Ben Affleck.

When "Weird Al" Yankovic expressed his desire (Couch Potato) to know who J. Lo was marryin' this week, well, it wasn't Ben Affleck.

Oh, all right. J. Lo was in "Jersey Girl" too.

Roberto Benigno. (gosh I hope I spelled that right)

btw, another path for george carlin would have been this:

george carlin played mr. conductor on shining time station, who was previously played by ringo starr, who played drums in the beatles, who were parodied by al with pacman and gee i'm a nerd, and was also polkaed in polka's on 45

Kurtwood Smith wasin The Crush with Alicia Silverstone
who was in the Crazy video with Liv Tyler
who was in Armaggedon with Ben Affleck
who was dating Jennifer Lopez while making Gigli
which Al references on Couch Potato

It is also possible to connect him via That's 70 Show.
Speaking of really old shows, how about Carroll O'Conner.

P.S. Is there a way a mod or someone could do a list of all the celebrities we did so we don't repeat. I think it would be helpful.

I vito that one. I really don't see how playing on an ENTIRELY different song than the one Al covered a segment of can count as a real connection.

carroll o conner was in all in the family with rob reiner.
rob reiner directed when harry met sally which starred billy crystal.
billy crystal hosted comic relief with robin willams and whoopi goldberg, and once had al as a guest.

btw i'm not discussing politics, i just linked this person to al last night, and i want to see if someone else can do it: john kerry

John Kerry had Bruce Springsteen play at a few recent rallies. Normally, Bruce plays with the E Street Band featuring Clarence Clemons. Clarence was a miner on TWAS with Al.

someone else can do one
