Why: He just published a book called 'I Must Say: My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend,' and I'm sure he's got some tales in there...probably not in the vein of Too Short's freaky tales, but still.
Why: She's the celebrity ambassador for Sensationail. I actually was looking for the link to another track called "Sensation" that is like a 22-second interlude (think it's like Fantastic Vol. 1-era), but couldn't find it. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
Gabrielle Union Sesame Street's "Number 5" http://youtu.be/GsLLpyL1dI4?t=13s REASON: Outside of being one of my favorite SESAME STREET moments and song on THE SESAME STREET RECORD on Columbia (and yes, I was 5), she is in a new movie called TOP FIVE.
ALTERNATE PICK Jurassic 5's "Monkey Bars" http://youtu.be/-mHoJeI8d5Q?t=2m4s REASON: It has the Sesame Street "Number 5" sample, in relation to her being in TOP FIVE.
Why? He often talks of appearing in a 1972 Toronto production of this show. (Along with Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, and Paul Schaffer.
Day by Day was the only "hit" from the show. (Maybe you recall the Simpsons episode called "Pulpit Friction" where Homer does a parody of it.)
Or call Mr. Schaffer or Dr. Evil and ask if they have audio or know what Martin's big song was from the production.
It's especially funny that they played this for Gabrielle, as the recent 'New Yorker' article on 'Top Five' revealed that at a Def Jam 30th anniversary event, Union introduced the premier of the film's trailer and botched the title (she called it "Top Ten").
That sounds like a ridiculous mistake, but is made even funnier if you think that Black Thought is shouting "number one, two, three, four, and FIVE" at her repeatedly to correct this error.

Reese Witherspoon W.A.S.P.'s "Wild Child" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsoLb-E7oy8 REASON: She has two new movies and two films out now, not which one she's going to promote (all four?) so I'll aim at one of her forthcoming films, WILD.
David Sedaris A Tribe Called Quest's "Scenario" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6TLWqn82J4 REASON: Sedaris has an unpublished story called THE POO CORNER so I want to focus on the last part of Charlie Brown's verse where he said: "For the flex, next, it's the textbook old to the new but the rest are doo-doo From radio, to the video, to Arsenio Tell me! Yo, what's the scenario"
ALTERNATE PICK Rolling Stones' "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UIGk_VFUbE REASON: Sedaris has an unpublished story called THE POO CORNER so I want to focus on this song.

Jack O'Connell I'm assuming O'Connell will be there in a joint interview with Jolie right, since they're in the same film? If he has his own moment, then... Hot Chocolate's "Brother Louie" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiM6hF1naXE REASON: If the song is not used earlier in the week, used this here since he plays Louis/Louie in UNBROKEN.
Nick Offerman The Vandals' "Power Mustache" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vDlKvolERk REASON: Due to his mustache, thus: "Mustache is a symbol of repression and of hate never trust a man with a butt broom on his face it's the facial marking of the man who holds you down the source of all your problems, every city, every townt Fight! The mustache power! Fight! The mustache power! Fight! The mustache power! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
It's more or less a joke song and is meant to be humorous, not a blast against him.
Angelina Jolie/Jack Oconnell Will The Circle Be Unbroken - hmm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bRJLkNqNXI <-Example Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Cash version from 89 (I couldn't find the 1972 version)
Why? The new film is called Unbroken. And I'll bet James knows a funky arrangement.
-- Nick Offerman
I'll just cut and paste my suggestion from his last 4 appearances:

16. "my picks but fiirst, I offer you a message to give to Nate Mendel" In response to Reply # 4
Nate is the bassist from Foo Fighters and lived in Richland, Washington, which for me is the town across the bridge. He and band mate Eric Akre sold me the first Diddly Squat record, their (his) first record, when I was a DJ on KTCV, the high school radio station I was a part of. While he is a worldwide "entertainer" now, let him know that a guy from Pasco, Washington who he sold his record to when I was 16 has remained a fan through all of the bands he has been in (Christ On A Crutch, Brotherhood, Sunny Day Real Estate, and now Foo Fighters) and simply wanted to say "it's been a long time since your days working at Burger Ranch. Keep on going." For further proof, if you remember to do so, show him this picture of him skateboarding in 1987. http://tinypic.com/r/2i95cnm/8
Nate was one of the reasons I got into punk rock, due to the "jazzy" ways he plays and the fact he plays a Fender Jazz bass. I know you like the nerdy stuff so feel free to pass the message along. His music was also one of the few reasons I got through high school.
Now, my picks: =============== Chris Rock Steady B's "Serious" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1W4qCVKHsY REASON: The movie is about a comedian who wants to be known as a serious actor, so I felt this would be cool.
Ruth Wilson Chicago's "Brand New Love Affair (Parts 1 & 2)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDPqvyMuC1k REASON: She stars in THE AFFAIR and since this is a Chicago song from one of their albums that are generally ignored, I want to shine the spotlight here. The chorus is:
"What I'd give to erase the pain will we every make friends is it over or shall we try again for a brand new love affair
--------- "We in here talking about later career Prince records & your fool ass is cruising around in a time machine trying to collect props for a couple of sociopathic degenerates" - s.blak
("I'm from where niggas pull your card, and argue all day about Who's the best MCs, Biggie, Jay-Z, or Nas?" - the name of his flick Top 5 comes from trying to select your top 5 rappers)

Cameron Diaz The Buggles' "I Am A Camera" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNNZl300klA REASON: I always request this for her when she appears, so I'll try again, to say "Cameron" instead of "Cameron".
Cedric The Entertainer MC Rell & The Houserockers' "Life Of An Entertainer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBJwBbvWAGY REASON: Kicking it back to 1989 for this one, Philly style, for name association.
