I’m not seeing even the most miniscule ‘financial’ relation between the two. That’s like saying J-Lo is a poor woman’s Roseanne.
John Denver, or Kieth Karradine attempting music (“I’m Easy”) would seem to me a closer poor man’s John Lennon.
I would call Huey Lewis a poor man’s Bruce Springsteen. Or poor man’s Seth Puttnam.
I always thought Gilbert Gottfreid was a poor man’s John Fiedler.
George Clooney - poor man’s Gene Reyburn.
Perhaps he did.
Goober and the Ghost-Chasers are the poor man’s Scooby Doo
Silent Running is poor man’s 2001: A Space Odyssey
Street Hawk is poor man’s Knight Rider
“Friday’s “ was the poor man’s SNL.
SCTV was the very poor man’s SNL.

SCTV was Canada’s* SNL.
*Canada is the poor man’s USA.
Marion (John) Wayne was the poor man’s Marion (John) Wayne.
I’m not seeing any relation of these people to the others at all, to be honest. John Denver and Keith Carradine were run of the mill country-ish types, popular but hardly changed the world of music… Huey Lewis was a tragically over-aged frat boy appealing to other frat boys, he was about as deep and thoughtful as a puddle in a parking lot… Gilbert Gottfried is brilliant, who the hell is John Fiedler, and wasn’t Gene Rayburn a game show host? What does he have to do with George Clooney?
I meant “Mad TV” instead of SCTV.
Be that as it may…

Insane Clown Posse is poor man’s KISS
Pinhead is poor man’s Freddy Kruger
Wait, are you saying that this thread is a poor man’s version of the previous thread?
Jon Cryer was a poor man’s Matthew Broderick, but I think their body of work has diverged enough.
Babylon 5 is a poor man’s Deep Space Nine, or is it Deep Space Nine is a poor man’s Babylon 5? Dun dun dun…
Dusty’s Trail was the poor man’s Gilligan’s Island.
I think it’s the other way around.
(TV) Ferris Bueller was the poor man’s
Parker Lewis Can’t Lose which was the poor man’s
(Film) Ferris Bueller
The “National Treasure” movies (starring Nicolas Cage) is just an American version of the “DaVinci Code” books (and movies). Probably a poor man’s version too.
The DaVinci Code is a poor man’s Foucault’s Pendulum.
Alec Baldwin = poor man’s Gene Rayburn
These people relate to each other only in that they are in the same section of the music industry. These seem to be random names taken off of a comic actors list, and a singer/musician list. PERHAPS the Reiser/Lewis comparison isn’t wholly without merit, but if so, they are reversed.
The DaVinci code books are poor man’s books, period, and even Tom Hanks couldn’t elevate their movie adaptation. Dan Brown’s work is wretched.
The National Treasure movies were ridiculous, fun popcorn movies. If anything, they were poor man’s Indiana Jones movies - except that Indiana Jones 2 and 4 were, themselves, poor man’s Indiana Jones movies.
Crap. ENTERTAINMENT industry.This is why I never did reports or assignments all in one sitting - fresh eyes help when proofreading.
Anthony Kiedis is the poor man’s Iggy Pop,
