You mean going ahead with a new celebrity, or trying Michael Phelps?

BTW, Russell Crowe can be done with a lot less degrees. Here's a 3 degree connection:

Russell Crowe was in "A Beautiful Mind", directed by Ron Howard,
who was on "The Andy Griffith Show" with Andy Griffith,
who was in "Spy Hard" with Al.

Michael Phelps is hardly a landlubber!

Of course, I still can't think of a connection. Has someone finally stumped the panel?

Michael Phelps' favorite artist is Eminem.
Eminem was parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

BTW, Michael Phelps also enjoys lasagna and shaving his back hair, which are important lyrical and thematic elements in the whole "Weird Al" oeuvre.

Which is to say, I'm stumped too.

The Rock was a host on SNL (twice, IIRC) when Jimmy Fallon was in the cast. Jimmy has opened for Al.

Kevin Smith directed "Jersey Girl", which stars Liv Tyler, who was also in "That Thing You Do", directed by Tom Hanks, who starred in "Forrest Gump", a movie that Weird Al wrote a song about called "Gump".

Blake Edwards

It's been a couple weeks. A hint would be good.

(BTW, I do know who Blake Edwards is--I'm just having trouble coming up with a connection.)
