Apologies to wt and a "you're welcome" to cb. I actually balked at adding the kitchen bit, since it's come up, as you indicate, entirely too often, especially in the puzzleblog comments. But usually that comment has been added by itself, not with an actual answer to the puzzle. So I thought again and cheerfully hopped on the bandwagon.
Being that Groucho's real name was Julius Henry Marx and Val's is Val Edward Kilmer, each has a 6 letter name that is not their surname. But that's too easy.
Or
Their stage names contain all of the vowels except for Y, but each has been involved in a creative work that has left the audience asking why ?!? ;)
* I'm new here, what types of puzzles are these usually?
A.S. -- agreed. Any time somebody asks "What do these folks have in common?," a variant of "Who are three men who have never been in my kitchen?" is de rigeur.
Relatedly, does anybody know what the Jeopardy clue was? I can't for the life of me remember, and it doesn't seem to be online anywhere.
They aren't a god, but they play one on TV.
The letter M in their names.
North Americans? Worked in Hollywood? Attended the Oscars?
I'm guessing no Republicans in that set.
They are all one degree of seperation from Kevin Bacon, and none of them shop at Penny's. Even for pots and pans for their own kitchens.
Question for Silicon Vally Jim: If God is omnipresent, and Martha Stewart created something called OmniMedia, is there a connection? I mean,Martha is ALWAYS in the kitchen!
Apparently, he was the "voice" of God in the animated movie, The Prince of Egypt. This is a questionable question. I don't really think being a voice actor in a film, especially one that has been digitally altered (he's also the voice of Moses in the movie) counts as playing God in a movie. Pretty lame inclusion, Kevan.

There must be a connection, and Im sure that it involves Morgan Freeman, Val Kilmer, George Burns, Alanis Morissette, and Groucho Marx.
Seriously, it's REALLY tired. Maybe if you wait long enough, it will be funny again in the future.
And also, can people stop offering to "sell a bridge" to other commenters who are making perfectly reasonable claims or arguments?

Far more interesting, of course, is Game 4810.

Strictly speaking, Alanis Morissette didn't play God himself either.
"Best of the Web," indeed....
I think that that should be "omnipresent", not "omniscient", shouldn't it?
