Was that a typo, or are you thinking of someone else? The person I was thinking of was the founder of the band Fairport Convention.

OK. Since Abbott connected the wrong celeb, Richard Thompson is still on the board.

Rusty Burrell was a member of the crew of the movie "Heart of Midnight", which Steve Buscemi was in. Steve Buscemi was in "Spy Kids 3-D" with Ricardo Montalban, who was in "The Naked Gun" with Al

Oops! Wrong Rusty Burrell!

The one I was thinking about was the baliff on "People's Court." (Now the 2 degrees should be easy.)

Okay.......

Rusty Burrell worked with Doug Llewelyn on "The People's Court"
who worked with Al on "Headline News".

Nobody got Richard Thompson, so that one's still up for grabs.

A hint on Richard Thompson:

He founded the band Fairport Convention.

If that isn't enough, ask your cousin Luigi.

Okay, here's the connection I had for Richard Thompson.....

Richard Thompson has performed with Los Lobos. Al parodied Los Lobos with "Lasagna."

New celeb (this one should be easier): Martin Short

Martin short was in Three Amigoes with Chevy Chase
Who did Family Vacation with John Candy
who did Uncle Buck with Dan Akroyd
who sang "We are the world" with Michael Jackson
hom Al has parodied.

The Return of Sumo!!!!!!!!

Speaking of returns, Biz Markie.

Biz Markie performed on the album "Bigger & Blacker" with Chris Rock
who was in "Down To Earth" with Eugene Levy

who was on "The Weird Al Show".

Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison played with Tom Petty in the Traveling Wilburys. Tom Petty played with Stevie Nicks on "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," which was parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Have we done Warren Zevon yet?
