I was on Jeopardy! with Alex Trebek, who was in Random Hearts with Blair Brown, who was in Loverboy with Kevin Bacon!

Also, if we get to count radio (and why not, if we can count TV?), I, as well as Eugene, also have a Bacon number of 3 through Warren Olney — we were both, at various times, on his radio show Which Way, L.A.?, and Warren Olney was in Enemy of the State with Paul Majors, who was in The Woodsman with Kevin Bacon.

Eugene's number is also 3 through Dennis Prager, who was in Heavy with Pruitt Taylor Vince, who was in Trapped with Kevin Bacon. I was on Dennis Prager's show, but only as a call-in listener. Query whether call-in listeners count, in the same way that an extra, even an accidental extra, would count in a movie.

Moral: There are a lot of people in Hollywood — 145,024 — with Bacon numbers of 2.

UPDATE: My wife Hanah also has a Bacon number of 3, as she was in a stage production of Peer Gynt in Pasadena with Michael York, who was in Austin Powers 2 with Tim Robbins, who was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon.

UPDATE 2: My sister-in-law Dahlia, by the way, has a Bacon number of 2, if you allow for working on the crew. Dahlia was an office production assistant on Chasing Ghosts, and Michael Rooker from that movie was in JFK with Kevin Bacon.
