I didn't try wikipedia, but I did glance at his website.
One issue often overlooked in genealogy is that living persons often keep personal lives private, for various reasons. Even more true for a celebrity. In most genealogy areas, you find that researchers keep info about living persons "hidden", to respect the choice of other people. Of course, someone can post details about themselves online, but it is their option. With id theft, it really can be risky.
He did sound interesting in some of his interviews. If you are wondering if you are related, I'd use the website to find a contact address and drop him a note.
