Six Degrees of Kermit T. Frog

[radionate]

You can do Jimmy Durante much quicker than that. He co-starred on stage in 1936 in the Cole Porter musical Red Hot & Blue. Ethel Merman was his co-star, and Bob Hope was also in it, and both Ethel Merman and Bob Hope guested on TMS.

Now SuperScooter, you did the last one (Joan Crawford), so who's next?

Actually Jimmy Durante can be done as he was in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" with Milton Berle, who of course was in The Muppet Movie with Kermit the Frog.

Let's do Jerry Orbach

Jerry Orbach voiced Lumierre in not only Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" but also Disney's T.V. show "House of Mouse".
Mickey Mouse hosted the "House of Mouse".
Mickey Mouse was in "The Muppets at Walt Disney World" with none other than...

KERMIT THE FROG!

Seth Green

Um... Catherine, I think Prawny ziffled you. You might want to edit your post to find the rainbow connection linking Seth Green to Kermit.
Unless I beat you to it. Or help you to it instead.
Here's a hint that'll make it easy... Seth Green appeared as Vinnie the Letter of the Month Club Delivery Man in Sesame Street.
Take care.

Hey, is that Kermit I see smiling? Must be, this is my fourteen thousandth post.
Yaeeeey! *Waves arms about frantically.

You could've also gone:
Jerry Orbach was on Law & Order with Richard Belzer (they had 3 crossover episodes when he was on Homicide: Life on the Street), and Richard Belzer was on Elmopalooza! with Kermit the Frog.

who's next?

Thank you Ed and Randall, but I was trying to play by hardcore rules and not use anything except movie theatre movies to link folks. Congrats on 14,000--gee, you have a lot of counting to do!
