I need to amend my Marilyn Monroe entry.
Marilyn Monroe was in "Some Like It Hot" with Tony Curtis, not Tony Randall.:embarrassed:
Tony Curtis was in "The Bad News Bears Go to Japan" with Regis Philbin.
And Regis Philbin has hosted The Walt Disney Christmas Day Parade many times with Kermit the Frog appearing.
:smile:

Okay- and now Charles Fleischer
Charles Fleischer played the role of Terry in "Back to the Future Part II" with Marc McClure, who was there as Dave McFly
Marc McClure starred as Jimmy Olsen in the first 4 Superman movies, (as well as Supergirl) with Christopher Reeve in the first 4 Superman movies. (A poster of Chris as Superman did appear in the Supergirl movie. He was supposed to have actually done a cameo, but it didn't happen.)
Christopher Reeve guest starred on "The Muppet Show" with Kermit the Frog.

Okay- try this one.

There are probably much more clever and old-fashioned ways of doing this one, but I'm gonna go all quick-and-easy (and less classy):

Mickey Rooney was in Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller
Ben Stiller was in Night at the Museum 2 with Oscar the Grouch (Carroll Spinney)
Oscar the Grouch (Carroll Spinney) has been on Sesame Street with Kermit the Frog (and certainly Big Bird has as well).

Next up: Jorge Garcia (and being referred to as Snuffy by Sawyer on Lost does not count as a link. :smile: )

Scott Cohen has guest starred on Numb3rs, which stars Judd Hirsch.
Judd Hirsch was on Taxi with Danny Devito.
Danny Devito has appeared on Sesame Street in the '80s when one could still pretty regularly see on there Kermit the Frog.:smile:

Here's a little different one to try.:big_grin: (And yes, I know the cartoon version of ALF appeared with Baby Gonzo, Baby Piggy and Baby Kermit in the 1990 "Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue" anti-drug special. I'm trying for the live action ALF puppet here.)

"Weird Al" Yankovic has done some absolutely hilarious music videos for his absolutely hilarious parody songs.
And he's had some famous faces appear in his music videos, giving him two quick direct links to The Muppets.
Florence Henderson appears in his "Amish Paradise" music video and of course, Florence Henderson guest starred on The Muppet Show with Kermit the Frog.
Ruth Buzzi also appeared in Weird Al's "Gump" music video and of course, Ruth Buzzi also was on Sesame Street for a while, as was (and sometimes still is) Kermit the Frog.:smile:

Next up- let's try another musician. (And I promise he has some acting credits. It may be a stretch, but it can be done.)
