Can you trace John Krasinski's Degrees of Fresno?
Guess what, friends? It's time for another round of Degrees of Fresno.
If you'll recall, this is the game where we, the Beehive, give you the name of a famous person and you trace that person's personal or professional lineage back to Fresno.
Last time we offered up Owen Wilson, whose sadly unsuccessful movie, Drillbit Taylor, was hitting movie theaters. This week we give you actor John Krasinski, whose sadly unsuccessful movie, Leatherheads, is in theaters now very successful TV show "The Office" returns this Thursday from a too, too long hiatus.
Here's how it works: I say "John Krasinski" and you say:
John Krasinski> starred in Shrek the Third with Antonio Banderas> starred in Miami Rhapsody with Sarah Jessica Parker> starred in Honeymoon in Vegas with Jerry Tarkanian who... well, you know.
Got it? Then get on it! (That's what she said. Oh, "The Office" – how I missed you so!) Without further ado, it's John Krasinski vs.

John Krasinski married Heather McLane. Too easy!
Okay, seriously? This one is too easy.
Krasinski was in Dreamgirls with Sharon Leal. Boom.

Too simple, Heather.
Jim Halpert is my baby daddy, and I was born and raised in Fresno.

Hmmm... this is what I get for avoiding movies that star Beyonce Knowles. Sorry this one was so easy.
Still, this game is about variety, so I want to see other connections (except yours, Erin D., because you tell LIES.)

Heather's BabyDaddy was in Leatherheads with the ever-lovely Renee Z, who was in Cinderell Man directed by Ron Howard who once left his son at the Krispy Kreme in Fresno...
Mr. McLane is on The Office with Jenna Fischer who was in Blades of Glory with Jon Heder who was in Napolean Dynamite with Aaron Ruell.

Ernie, I am constantly amazed at your adeptness at this game. Hella props for the Ron Howard connection.

How's this for a hella hip-hop version
Jim Halpert > Steve Carrell (the office) > Jennifer Aniston (Bruce Almighty) > RZA (Derailed) > Ghostface (Wu-Tang Clan) > Planet Asia (song on Asia's "Grand Opening album")
