Actor	Brother	Lowdown
John Belushi	Jim Belushi	Sadly, Jim was not the heavy drug user in the family. There was a show about life according to him, it might still be on the air. Check with your Auntie.
Patrick Swayze	Don Swayze	Actor Don is just like Patrick, but a but a tad lighter in the chromosome department.
Ron Howard	Clint Howard	Opie looks like Hugh Jackman when standing next to his younger brother, that’s why he always invites him to the set and sticks him in his films.
Alec Baldwin	Daniel Baldwin	Alec is very funny when he’s not very angry. Daniel is very high when he’s not very loaded. Add dimwit Stephen and the other one and you got quite a family party.
Chris Farley	Kevin Farley	Fat? Check. High-Energy? Check. Funny? Don’t know. He’s currently starring in a right-wing comedy, not the best career move in Hollywood.
Seth Meyer	Josh Meyer	Josh was on “Mad TV.” If he kidnapped Seth and took his place on SNL’s Weekend Update, you would not know the difference.
Chris Rock	Tony Rock	TV Guide says “Look out comedy world, Chris’s younger brother  is the next Charlie Murphy!”
Albert Brooks	Super Dave Osborne	Fun Fact: The brothers’ real last name is Einstein.
Jerry O’Connell	Charlie O’Connell	Remember when they were both on that show “Sliders” but only Jerry was allowed to talk? Anyone… anyone…?
Sylvester Stallone	Frank Stallone	Sly eats a bucket full of horse steroids every morning. Frank sang “Far From Over” for the 1983 film “Staying Alive.” What’s the bigger crime? Call it a tie.
Leo Gallagher	Ron Gallagher	Oddest brother story ever: Look-a-like Ron toured as “Gallagher Too” doing the same act, against Leo’s wishes. That’s so cool, I hate watermelons.
Macho Man Randy Savage	“Leaping” Lanny Poffo	Not exactly actors, but close enough. Poffo read poems in the ring, Randy was both macho and a savage. Take a guess who the rubes liked better.

Got some of your own? Let me know.

Quite Possibly, The Greatest TV Show Ever: Tim & Eric, I mean “Jim and Derrick,” are all Turbo Fueled up and are X-tremely in your face with their tats, trucker hats and mad piercings… “Hey G4 and Fuse, you can suck it!

Alec Baldwin is a Pretty Sad Guy: Despite being hilarious on 30 Rock, good ol’ Jack “Don’t ever make me talk to a woman that old again” Donaghy is not a happy camper in real life. That’s what a messy divorce, one bad phone call and more than a few movie bombs will do to a guy.

Still, you gotta love him and the endearing Republican (with an actual soul!) character he portrays, especially when he explains a tuxedo he is wearing in the office by saying:

“It’s after six. What am I, a farmer?”

Baldwin is also a tad bitter at NBC for not giving 30 Rock enough respect and moving it’s time slot around, I completely agree. I also agree with his assessment of their other shows (I know Scrubs is now gonzo, but still…):

They’ve gone out of their way to wring the last drops out of ‘My Name Is Earl’ and ‘Scrubs.’ Those shows are done! They’re cooked! Yet they do a one-hour episode of ‘Earl’! You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!”

How Palin Will Beat the Press: Slate’s Jack Shafer has an idea:

Instead of letting Palin talk directly and frequently to the press, the McCain campaign will dress her in bunting and rush her from one controlled setting the next—small towns, firebases in Iraq and Afghanistan, “town halls,” important funerals, church conventions, and American Legion halls (essentially George W. Bush’s current itinerary). There she’ll play the role of Spiro Agnew to McCain’s Nixon, dismissing reporters’ tough questions as effete, impudent, sacrilegious, snobby, intrusive, unpatriotic, hostile, disrespectful, chauvinistic, “East Coast,” unfair, unbalanced, liberal, biased, trivial, hypothetical, elitist, and as partisan attempts to lasso her with a “gotcha.”
