Also, coincidentally, Moe and Curly.
The Trogg’s song, Tone Loc song, or the 1987 action thriller starring Robert Knepper and Kathleen Quinlan?
Actor Vinton Hayworth, who played Dr. Bellows’s boss Gen. Schaeffer on “I Dream of Jeannie,” was the uncle of both Ginger Rogers and Rita Hayworth.
Ross Bagdasarian, under his stage name “David Seville,” created the singing group the Chipmunks (and sang all three parts on their original songs). He was a cousin of Pulitzer Prize winning playwright William Saroyan. A few years earlier, the two of them co-wrote “Come on-a My House,” which made Saroyan the only person to win a Pulitzer Prize and also have a #1 single.
He’s also related to Leonard Cohen - Cohen’s daughter is the mother of Wainwright’s daughter.
Sacha Baron Cohen (unrelated to Leonard), known for Ali G and Borat, has a cousin named Simon who is an internationally-known autism researcher.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned yet that Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones were roommates in college. But then again it’s hardly obscure, I think most people are aware of it by now.
Burt Reynolds and Lee Corso of ESPN were college roommates too. Both played FB at Florida State.
Lucille Ball produced the first Star Trek series through her company Desilu studios which was later sold to Paramount. (the studio was started with Desi Arnaz thus the name)
Jack Nicholson grew up thinking that his mother was his sister.
George Stephanopoulos, former worker in the Bill Clinton campaign (the first one), and unofficial press secretary for Clinton, is married to Alexandra Wentworth, who appeared on In Living Color, and was the girlfriend of Ron Livingston in Office Space.
Before he was a sportscaster, Howard Cosell was a practicing attorney.
He’s in Superman I as well, with two lines after Lex hijacks the two missiles that were launched.
The Terminator should have killed him: Bill, Brian and Brad.
At the beginning of The Terminator, Arnie robs three punks for their clothes. He kills Bill Paxton (“Somebody’s a few cans short of a six pack!”) and Brian Thompson (“Let me guess - wash day, nothing clean?”), while Brad Rearden surrenders and gives him everything. Paxton went on to several leading roles in tv and film, including working with Arnie again in True Lies. Thompson has a steady career as a character actor playing heavies, often in sci-fi, like The Vessel and later The Judge on BTVS, and an alien bounty hunter on The X-files. Rearden got a bit part in a 1987 Madonna vehicle “Who’s That Girl?” and hasn’t worked since.
David Letterman and Michael Keaton were performers on Mary Tyler Moore’s short-lived variety show, along with Swoosie Kurtz, Dick Shawn (from the original version of The Producers) and James Hampton (the bumbling bugler on F-Troop.)
Watching that show must have been like an acid trip!
Michael Keaton was also a stage hand on Mister Rogers Neighborhood.

Troggs song. He was (is?) Chip Taylor.
Swoosie Kurtz’s father was Frank Kurtz, an officer in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II. After surviving an attack on Clark Field in the Philippines (concurrent with the one at Pearl Harbor), Kurtz escaped to Australia and cobbled together a B-17 from parts of two damaged airplanes. He named his plane “The Swoose”, after a bird in a popular song who was half swan and half goose. Swoosie is named after the airplane.
The Swoose still exists and is the oldest surviving B-17 in the world. It is (according to Wikipedia) being restored by the Museum of the U.S. Air Force, but I believe it might belong to the Smithsonian.
I have one.
Rebecca Romijn has 6 toes on one foot. 
I didn’t know! That song was made famous by singer Rosemary Clooney (RIP), sister to broadcaster Nick Clooney, aunt to Nick’s son George.
