What I find funny about Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is that he is married to Kyra Sedgwick, who is the half-sister of jazz guitarist Mike Stern. Mike Stern played with Miles Davis and Miles Davis is basically the Paul Erdos or Kevin Bacon of jazz.
I've heard that Kevin Bacon isn't actually the Kevin Bacon of the Kevin Bacon game; some researchers a few years back crunched the numbers and determined that the most-connected actor was actually Rod Steiger (having starred in a wide range of highbrow and lowbrow movies over a very long career).
Maybe somebody else has since overtaken Steiger, though. Maybe even Kevin Bacon himself!
Edit to add: ha, I see there's a calculation at The Oracle of Bacon: http://oracleofbacon.org/center_list.php Not sure how frequently this is updated, but the top few names definitely sound plausible.
If you find it funny that Kevin Bacon is within 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon of someone else, you're kind of misunderstanding the idea of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

On a podcast I listened to recently, Kevin Bacon said he didn't really like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon because he felt it was fun of him at his expense.
