Let's Play Connections! (Easy version)

John Tyler
Millard Fillmore
Calvin Coolidge
Harry S Truman

I assume “they were all Presidents” is too general… Did they all succeed to the Presidency from the Vice-Presidency? I know that Tyler and Truman did.

Oh, and this one isn’t original to me, but it’s too good not to share:

The USS Fletcher
An unseasonable frost in Florida
A hula hoop with a nail in it

Specifically, each succeeded someone who died in office – William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Warren G. Harding, and FDR, respectively.

Brahe had a fake nose, and Jackson’s nose wan’t the one he was born with either.

Pass to someone else until I hopefully get the hang of posing the problem.

Oops- sorry i somehow missed several posts.

Not what I was going for. Here’s another one to add to the list:

Wish You Were Here

Previous:
One
Creep
Bitch

Absolutely right!

Before he came to Hollywood, Stewart Granger was “Jimmy Stewart” to all his friends.

Quite right

All were titles of two (or more) otherwise unrelated songs:

Creep: Radiohead/TLC

Bitch: The Rolling Stones/Meredith Brooks

Hosted “Saturday Night Live” during its first season

Correct!

OK, that’s ironic. I was considering looking them up to see if they were all the same artist, but then I said “Nah, there are a ton of songs titled “One”; it’d be a pain to try to track them all down”.
