In the 60s the show Laugh-In used to have a comedy bit where they’d say something like:
And my favourite:
I was just thinking if anyone could do this with present day celebrities. I am not up to date on who’s in so I don’t think I could come up with any, but I’ll think about it.
I guess it’d be harder as celebritites are less likely to change their name
Also don’t forget you can use divorces too
Like if “So & So” married “So & So” and got divorced then remarried “So & So” she’d be… That way you’d get three names out of it.
Upon reading this the first thing that sprang into my mind was “If we can do gay marriages, then if Mudhoney frontman Mark Arm married Brad Pitt then he’d be Mark Arm-Pitt!”
There are a lot of possibilities with Mark Arm. If he paired up with MC Hammer but they kept their own names, they might be introduced as “Mark Arm and Hammer”.
If Joan Rivers married Joaquin Phoenix she’d be Joan Rivers Phoenix.
If Phyllis George married Denzel Washington she’d Phyllis George Washington. If she divorced and married Max Carver, she’d be Phyllis George Washington Carver.
If Sandra Oh married Jack Lord she’d be Sandra Oh Lord.
Phoebe Snow married Floyd Flake she’d be Phoebe Snow Flake.
If Gladys Knight married Morris Day she’d be Gladys Knight Day.
If Aimee Semple McPherson divorced and married Paul Simon she’d be Aimee Semple Simon.
If Karen Black married Chris Rock she’d be Karen Black Rock. If she divorced and married Kenneth Starr she’d be Karen Black Rock Starr.
If Tori Spelling married Sorrell Booke she’d be Tori Spelling Booke.
If Lisa Jolley married Kenny Rogers she’d be Lisa Jolley Rogers.
I’d love to hear what the OP thinks about this; for now I’m going to stick to old-school, if ruled otherwise, I got a million of 'em.
If Laura Dern married William Katt she’d be Laura Dern Katt.
If Ima Hogg married Sean Penn she’d be Ima Hogg Penn.
If Olivia Wilde married Cornel Wilde she’d be Olivia Wilde Wilde. If Olivia Wilde Wilde divorced and then married Kanye West she’d be Olivia Wilde Wilde West.
If Natalie Anne Coughlin married Walt Disney, divorced him and remarried Tom Cruise, divorced him and remarried John Wesley Shipp, divorced him and remarried Michael Boatman, she’d be Nat A. Coughl-Disney-Cruise-Shipp-Boatman.
I don’t recall if this was from Laugh-In or elsewhere, but my fave of these is:
If Dolly Parton married Salvador Dali, and then married the Dalai Lama, and then married Lorenzo Lamas and they had a Llama, it would be the Dolly Dali Dalai Lama Lamas Llama.
