Bob Saget appeared with Eugene Levy in "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd."
Eugene Levy appeared with Michael McKean in "A Mighty Wind."
Michael McKean was in "Haunted Lighthouse" with "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Since I just came back from one of his concerts:
Bob Dylan.
With a stipulation. Link only through musicians who have played together. It would be just too easy to use "Masked and Anonymous." EVERYBODY had a cameo in that (except for Al)

We posted at the same time, and both used Michael McKean's appearance on TWAS as a link!
Mark is brother to Donnie Wahlberg who sang on "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" which was parodied by Al.

I'd wanted to do Dylan-to-Al with just performance links, and it can be done. Here's one way: Chris Hillman performed "Mr. Tambourine Man" with Dylan at a Roy Orbison tribute. Chris Hillman played with Herb Pedersen in the Desert Rose Band. Herb Pedersen played with Al on Poodle Hat.

Dave Barry was portrayed on TV by Harry Anderson. Harry appeared on the 6th Annual Young Comedian's Special with Rick Overton. Rick was a guest on the Weird Al show!
(Sidebar - Harry Anderson lives here in New Orleans and owns a magic shop. I've met him - nice guy!)

John Glenn played himself in the "Docu.Drama" episode of "Frasier" in 2001, which also starred David Hyde Pierce,
who was in the 1995 movie "Nixon" (as John Dean) with Bob Hoskins (as J Edgar Hoover),
who was in the 1987 movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" with Christopher Lloyd,
who was in the 2003 theme park movie "R.L. Stine's Haunted Lighthouse" with Al.
How about -- in recognition of his recent Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star --
Godzilla?
Doc
PS: Yes, it CAN be done!
