Okay...full disclosure...this month's challenge is really difficult. Which is why it's worth ten points (instead of the usual five). Let's see who figures it out first...
My name is Doug Kayne. Just like DENNIS WOLFBERG, I am a comedian. In fact, I'm a member of the sketch comedy group Those Four Misfits (www.ThoseFourMisfits.com).
Like STEPHEN KING, I'm a writer. In fact, my very first screenplay, Romantic Comedy 101, was made into a made-for-TV movie. Speaking of made-for-TV movies, BOB DENVER did quite a few of them (including the Gilligan's Island ones).
Like SHERYL CROW, STING, and GENE SIMMONS, I've played music onstage in front of an audience. Unlike them, I play the ukulele, and usually play during the aforementioned Those Four Misfits shows. Although, I did have the opportunity to play ukulele, backed up by a ukulele teacher who plays worldwide and the former lead singer of L.A. Guns...but that's a story for another time...
Like GEORGE "THE ANIMAL" STEELE, my head is shaved.
I'm a fan of musicals (like HUGH JACKMAN and LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA). I've played Captain Hook in a "Peter Pan" musical before, and would definitely like to do more.
Like ANDY GRIFFITH, I'd love to have a long career in the entertainment industry.
I look forward to working with all sorts of really cool people, like SYLVESTER STALLONE, MR. T, JON HAMM, TELLER, LIAM NEESON, AND MAYIM BIALIK have. Hit me up if I could be of assistance!

Hey, Doug Kayne. Hope you're doing great! All I have for this week's theme challenge is "celebrities."

While technically correct, Maurice Vaughan, they are celebrities, that guess isn’t correct enough to earn the ten points. All of those celebrities have something in common. What is it?

Technically correct. Ten points, Doug Kayne! Haha Hmmm. I'm not sure. I don't usually win your challenges, but it's fun trying.

Sometimes it’s the playing of the game, not the score, where the fun lies, Maurice Vaughan

That sounds like a coach pep talk, Doug Kayne.

Hey Doug, good to meet you. Being a funny guy myself (and a musician), I composed a fun piece that, from your opening, I think you would like. It's entitled 'Another Prick in the Mall'.

Remember, Maurice Vaughan, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. It’s always darkest before the dawn. You’ve got to give 110%. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Break on through to the other side.

A hint you say, Amanda Toney? Hmmm… I will say that all the celebrities I put in all caps have something in common. And they would have enjoyed the last couple of months. But, they might be a bit busy starting now. At least until December. Then they’ll be busy again starting in January. Until June.

Stumped doesn't even begin to describe how I feel right now Doug Kayne : ) This is a particularly difficult one!

Apparently this one was harder than I intended, Nick Phillips. I’ll toss two hints out into the ether:
1. All of the people whose names are in all caps have a particular former job in common.
2. The title of my post refers to a Pink Floyd song. The lyrics refer to what they all have in common.
