Saddam Hussein was the dictator if Iraq while George Bush was President.
Dana Carvey was known for imitating George.
Rob Lowe was in Wayne's World with Dana
Rob played on West Wing with Stockard Channing
who was on Six Degrees of Separation with Kevin Bacon
who starred in Footloose, the theme of which was on one of Al's Polkas.

That was hard!!!

I think the last sentence about Kevin Bacon should have a better link, like "he and his wife have a pic with Al posted on the Mothership."

I'll get back to you on Cierra.

Because Kevin Bacon was the main character in the movie, I thought it was a cleaner connection.

I guess if I say that Kenny Loggins sang the theme song and that Al parodied that, it would make more sense.

I hope you meant R&B artist, Ciara (there's a porn star, Ciarra, but no Cierra)

Ciara was in Coach Carter with Samuel L Jackson who was in Ragtime with Fran Drescher who was in UHF with Al. Sam did some movies with Yoda too.

Sorry, kinda vague...

Peter hosted "ABC 2000 Today", which was why Dick Clark couldn't host "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve." Dick Clark productions produced The Weird Al Show (right?) --OR-- Dick Clark made a cameo on the last episode of The Weird Al Show --OR-- Al performed a couple songs on the 1996 (right?) New Year's Rockin' Eve.

Slash from Guns 'n' Roses once played with Boz Scaggs.
Al parodies Guns 'n' Roses with Jim playing Slash in the "UHF" video.

Dale Crover was once in Nirvana. You figure out the obvious connection there.
