Richard Lewis was in a series(sorry, the name escapes me.) with Jamie Lee Curtis
She was in Trading Places(the original) with Dan Akroyd
Dan Akroyd has done guest spots on Home Improvement
the same network as Whose Line Is It Anyway with Drew Carrey
who played the Mace type role in Al's Pentium video.
(Another good challenge, I bow to yur creativity.)

this is very bad but connects nonetheless...

Kevin Bacon last name is a breakfast food that can come from Canada (Canadian Bacon)

Ice hockey is the main sport that comes from Canada...

The word ice is in the rap star Vanilla Ice's name

Vanilla Ice is a white boy rapper like Eminem

Eminem was parodied by Al in Couch Potato

(very bad, i know)

uhhh... how about Abbott & Costello?

The Abbott & Costello routine "Who's On First" was quoted in "Rain Man" by Dustin Hoffman, who is in "Meet The Fockers", which is directed by Jay Roach, who also directed "Austin Powers in Goldmember", which had a mini role for Danny DeVito, who was in "Johnny Dangerously", which Al did the theme song for.

(I hope quoting is OK.)

Arlo Guthrie once opened his family's front door and found a young Bob Dylan standing there, inquiring about some lyric manuscripts left by his father Woody. Arlo couldn't find the manuscripts, which were later set to music by somebody else altogether, thereby depriving the world of a Guthrie/Dylan collaboration, and Bob Dylan was later style-parodied by Weird Al Yankovic in "Bob."

Scott Bakula.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Scott Bakula is the captain on Enterprise. A position also filled by Patrick Stewart on SWTNG who also played Professor X in Xmen with Hugh Jackman who also played in Someone Like You with Greg Kinnear who played the real superhero in Mystery Men with Janene Garofeolo who has been on Comic Relief with Al. (Again, I used too many connections.)

A face to face meeting, verified by Mr. Dylan himself in his new and quite interesting book, isn't a good connection? Okay, I'll see what I can do. But considering we've accepted instances of people appearing in different episodes of the same TV series, I think you're being a little particular there.
