ok if no one guesses this by tomorrow i'll post the connection to al, but if you want you can use the connection by who plays the type of guitar he invented, and by that i mean the gibson les paul

Does either of our guitar guys play this type of guitar? If so, there's the connection. If not, I'm stumped.

you mean jim or steve? no, neither one plays a les paul. however, some of the people al has parodied plays them, and someone who al "interviewed", his guitarist plays them, and has played onstage with les paul himself, so there's a connection there, but i'll let you figure out who it is............

ok, looks like no one gets the connection, so here goes nothing

les paul invented the solid body electric guitar, and called it the gibson les paul.
many many people play this type of guitar, many that were parodied, by al, "interviewed", or other things. for example, george harrison played a les paul in the revolution video, and george was parodied by al, or you can also say zac hanson played a les paul when hanson was on the weird al show, or zakk wylde appeared onstage with les paul. zakk is the guitarist for ozzy osbourne, who was interviewed by al. so there were numerous possibilites to run with this, but it looks like no one took it. no big deal, and sorry i stumped everyone. so, i guess i'll give someone who's a little bit more easier to do

Jeff Lynne produced George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set on You," which Al parodied with "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long."

I'm pretty sure Don Ameche was in Cocoon directed by Ron Howard who was in the Andy Griffith Show with Don Knotts who did a voice on Johnny Bravo along with Al
