New television show

I remember one night on Larry King Kevin was interviewed and of course they came up I believe he has a web site about this but t be honest as he was interviewed i was not really that turned on by the whole thing but what do i know After reading this below i now have a slight turn around and it does sound quite intellectual and who knows how many others feel .........
Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that, if a person is one "step" away from each person he or she knows and two "steps" away from each person who is known by one of the people he or she knows, then everyone is no more than six "steps" away from each person on Earth. Several studies, such as Milgram's small world experiment, have been conducted to empirically measure this connectedness. While the exact number of links between people differs depending on the population measured, it is generally found to be relatively small. Hence, six degrees of separation is somewhat synonymous with the idea of the "small world" phenomenon.

6 degrees of seperation is the reference.

It is also known as "the handshake game."

It generally means how many handshakes from Kevin Bacon are you - tho when I first learned about the game, it was how many handshakes away from the President are you.

At one point I was 3 handshakes from the President. I'd shake with my dad, he'd shake with the Govenor & that lead to the President.

At one point when LBJ was President, I was 2 shakes since my dad actually got to meet the President at something here in Austin.

I don't quite get the "degrees of seperation" but the way the show was supposed to be last year, there were several people that didn't know each other at the beginning of the show & how they met.

Did I watch it, no, but I hardly watch any network tv.

6 degrees of Kevin Bacon refers to the popular game in which any actor can be connected with Kevin Bacon in 6 movies or less. Connected being defined as being in the same movie together. For example.
