NPR Sunday Puzzle (Aug 21, 2016): Name that Rhyme:

Q: Name a famous person with the initials B.S. and another famous person with the initials G.M. — whose first and last names, respectively, rhyme with each other. One of the names has one syllable and one has two syllables. Who are these famous people?
