This one is actually darn easy. Sandra Day O'Connor was appointed to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan, who was seen in Weird Al's video "Christmas At Ground Zero."

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

Osama bin Laden? Hmm...

>Osama was talked about and shown briefly in Eminem's "Mosh" song/video.
>Al has done one parody and one polka of two Eminem songs, "Lose Yourself" and "The Real Slim Shady".

there's a more significant connection than just being "talked about"

Jack was in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest with Danny Devito who was in Taxi with Marilu Henner who was in Johnny Dangerously with end title music (This Is The Life) by Al

let's try Usama again

Osama bin Laden...

One of the 9/11 victims was "Frasier" creator & executive producer David Angell (he was a passenger on Flight 11)...

Kelsey Grammer played Frasier, he was also in Toy Story 2 with Wayne Knight, who played Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park - the subject of Al's parody of "MacArthur Park."
