Doppelgänger
A few days ago Doug from Laid Off Dad Twittered: "If you saw David Gregory on The Daily Show, you might think that he and @blurb were separated at birth."
I'm a frequent viewer of NBC news and had never really considered the resemblance between my husband and David Gregory before, but after Doug suggested that I had to take a closer look. And when I did I found myself weirdly attracted to what some have dared called a blustery old douchebag. (I'm looking straight at you, Shan.) I heartily disagree with that assessment, have always thoroughly enjoyed listening to his commentary, and would welcome his correspondence to my white house if you know what I'm saying, not really because I'm happily married, I only said that because now I know Jon's going to cringe whenever I suggest we watch MSNBC. Meaning, I can totally see the resemblance, especially when you behold his moves here:
(thanks, Janet for the link to that video, my porn collection is now complete)
Although I think his resemblance to John Larroquette is far more striking. Consider:
But then so many of you have written to ask me if Jon and Jason Lee were separated at birth. Hmm:
I asked Jon whom he thought he resembled most and he waved his hand dismissing all of them, suggesting that if Brad Pitt was not on the list then clearly it was an incomplete list. Right, because if that were true we'd need to add to the list Denzel Washington.
So I'm taking a poll.

Heather talks about overcoming depression on today's Momversation.
- Leta: "STOP FOLLOWING ME, COCO!"
I wonder where she picked up that exclamation.
- Me: "Hey Marlo, here's a vibrantly colored, squeaky toy made specifically for your age group!"
Marlo: "Got any knives?"

Definitely John Laroquette! Scary really.

My vote is for John Larroquette
3. Kelly said:
Laroquette. Although maybe my view is skewed because they share a name?
David Gregory gives me hives though, and your Jon definitely doesn't do that.

John Larroquette gets my vote.
5. miriam said:
Larroquette but ruggeder. It's a word.
6. Kat's Mom said:
I have commented to either you or Jon before and I will say it again-- Jon and Jon Favreau really look alike. Jon Favreau has gotten back in shape recently-- making the resemblance quite uncanny. They even spell their first name(s) the same way!

Yes, but are his moves that good?
My hub is a dead ringer for Rick Leventhal from fox news.

John Larroquette, hands down.but Jon is slimmer. I have a feeling Jon is just as hysterically funny.
And while we are on the subject of spitting images of...you are a double for Keira Knightly. Seriously. And she is striking - don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I've always thought that your Jon channelled the intelligent sharp wit of John Laroquette.
21. gingela5 said:
I think John Larroquette is the winner.
22. HouseofJules said:
I think that in order for us to make a fair & balanced decision for this pole that you should post short videos of Jon dancing like David Gregory, saying "Bang the gong...slowly?" like Larroquette, and then skateboarding with a giant mustache like Jason Lee (swoon!)
Just for the sake of being fair & balanced, not for our entertainment purposes or anything.
23. stella said:
I have to concur....John Larroquette. But I sure had a good laugh about David Gregory..I didn't know he had it in him.

I'm going with Jason Lee too. Not so much in this clip, but in real life without the moustache.

I'm going with Jon Favreau and John Larroquette with a smidge of Richard Kind. Only younger.

jason mother-fucking lee, baby!
27. Elizabeth said:
Um . . . he reminds me of nobody on this list. Actually, he reminds me of Harry Anderson from one of the clips shown. He could resemble Harry the ape from Harry and the Hendersons. But I think of all the people Jon looks like, Leta is the tops.
28. keagansmom said:
First, you both are totally HAWT.
and I'm gonna go with if Jon Larroquette and Brad Pitt had a baby, it would be Jon Armstrong.
29. Liz C said:
I dunno, but for a blustery old douchebag (who is 10 years younger than me!), David Gregory does all right. At least he can keep the beat. That is a really rare skill amongst the Olde Douchebag set.

I obviously don't know Jon, but judging from your pictures, I would have to say John Larroquette.

When you twittered yesterday that you'd do David Gregory, I checked google images, and thought, "Well, that make sense--Jon looks just like him." I definitely see the Larrouquette resemblance as well. I don't really see Jason Lee.

I'm thinking the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" vintage Jason Lee. Only crabbier.

Jason Lee.
TOTALLY...ok and Brad Pitt. But more of Jason Lee.
37. Natasha said:
I've always wondered who he reminds me of. I think it is a cross between Larouquette and Lee. His face does resemble Gregory a bit. Thankfully, not the hair. Eek!

Dude, if I've told you once I've emailed you a creepy number of times. The guy you're married to IS Jason Lee.
43. Alice said:
My life is complete thanks to that David Gregory clip.
Add the clip of him breaking it down with Karl Rove (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdvHwtRdg_I), some cheap merlot and a bubble bath, and I think you have your next Friday night all planned.
44. The Casual Perfectionist said:
John Larroquette!
45. Laura said:
I'm going with the theory of Jon being the product of the most holy union of John Larroquette and a be-bearded Jason Lee. If you ever should need a Larroquette fix - god knows why, but hey I find him pretty funny sometimes - get your hands on a copy of 10th Kingdom: http://www.amazon.com/10th-Kingdom-Kimberly-Williams/dp/B0000648XE/ref=p...
Ten hours of John Larroquette running around with a Prince turned into a dog, fleeing trolls and dwarves, getting high on magic mushrooms, and singing off-key to 'Whiter Shade of Pale.' The epitome of all that is right and wrong with American television.
46. Deidre said:
Hmmm...I'd say mostly like Larroquette with a smidge of Jason Lee.
Ever since I moved to Australia, Australian men are always telling me I look like Julia Louis-Dreyfus ... I'm all "just cuz I have an American accent and big hair doesn't make me Elaine"

I have often thought about who he looks like. I think Natasha is right, it is a cross between those two. I think he looks more like Lee though.

I'd have to say your husband looks like a younger, hipper version of John Larroquette, but only if your husband was a swinger from the 1970's wearing bad suits.

Static image = David Gregory, hands-down. Maybe if you post a video of John skateboarding we can make a better comparison?
53. Abby said:
Though I think all of those choices are kind of simillar to Jon, I have to say that I think he looks like Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords. I actually made my Husband look at a picture of Jon and then a picture of Jemaine to get a household concensus, but he totally disagrees.

Surprisingly, I'll have to vote for Jason Lee. The current Jason Lee, though, not the younger Jason Lee from Mallrats (which is what I usually think of when I think of Jason Lee).
The Night Court clip was a great throwback to my high school years, though. I forgot how much I loved that show.
55. Sarah Shepard said:
Definitely, definitely, that David Gregory guy. I used to think he looked like John Laroquette too, but only because I'd never heard of DG until now.

I love that clip of David Gregory dancing! I was watching the Today Show that day, and kept rewinding that just laughing SO HARD! They ribbed him for DAYS about that clip. Seeing it again, I have to admit...I couldn't stop at just one viewing. Cracks my ass up every time. The twirl- oh GOD!!!!
70. hello haha narf said:
puh-leeeze. definitely John Larroquette!!
71. Csquaredplus3 said:
Your Jon looks most like John Laroquette in my humble opinion.
I can understand Jon's disappointment that Brad Pitt and Denzel weren't options. BUT, we must remember:
intelligence = hotness (usually)
If he can groove like David Gregory, you better keep a short leash on him Mrs. Armstrong.

isn't this when you say something like: "my husband is strictly one of a kind and does not even compare to any of those very rich men! i love him and only him forever and fo-eva."

I cannot stop watching that David Gregory clip. Those dance moves are amazing. My vote goes for a younger version of the dancemaster himself.

Jason Lee sans mustache. How hilarious.
79. Court said:
I'm jumping on the Larroquette bandwagon! But not literally, because one John Larroquette is quite a bit older than his Night Court days and the other John is quite yours.
80. Emily said:
I think he looks like a great mix of John Larroquette and John Corbett, of Northern Exposure/Sex and the City fame. Heavier on the John Corbett than the John Larroquette.

John Larroquette definitely, but I had a good laugh watching David Gregory dance to Mary J. Blige lol

First of all..that white guy spin made me snarf diet dr. pepper all over my laptop..so thanks a fuckin lot for that!

Yeah Babeh!

Jason Lee. Because when I see NBC promos for My Name Is Earl, sometimes I am caught off guard and can be heard saying things like, "is blurb on the news?" This happened Saturday during the olympics when I was paying more attention to my bowl of Whoppers and only saw the promo out of the corner of my eye.

oh, no,no,no,no,NO! you all have it wrong. i've said this to dooce before and i'll say it again since she's now taking an offical poll: paul dimeo (from "extreme makeover: home edition") is totally jon's twin separated at birth. except, of course, paul and jon seem to be about eight years apart. eh, mistake at the hospital, i say; i'm sure jon misses paul though. :)
89. Sarah said:
I'm going with John Laroquette. But really, don't you win no matter what?
90. Sara said:
I have to say I agree with you. It might partly be because I have a secret love for Jason Lee. Seeing him makes me ovulate on demand. I thought it would be awkward to consider him similar to your husband in a very let's-not-steal-husbands kind of way. But I see a resemblance in all three for sure.
LOL to the dancing, good Lord! HAHAH!

I have to say Jon looks more like Larroquette, which if it's any reassurance at all, is totally the hottest dude on Night Court.
BTW, what is WITH those kick ass moves of David Gregory? I think I need to go find MY husband after watching that. There's no way Jon can do a spin-move like that...whew! I haven't seen moves like that since my parents got wasted at our wedding and my Mom did the Hustle!

I vote for Jason Lee. Jon eminates the total vunerability and hotness of Jason Lee's character in Chasing Amy.
I can't get an appreciation for the other cat (David Gregory); the video was a bit grainy and I've never seem him before - but dude can dance! I have to wonder what Mary J. was thinking while she was singing...
98. Angela said:
John Larroquette. I wish I could say Jason Lee seeing as he is the hottest of the three and I do think your husband is hotter than John Larroquette, but there is a very strong resemblance. On a side note, someone as cool and hot as Jason Lee should have known better than to be suckered into Scientology. Damn those aliens...

It's so funny that you mention this! I've been making my way through the Sex and the City season episodes for the first time (I know - I'm WAY behind the times, having watched the movie before ever having viewed a single episode), and just finished season 4 last night. If you're not familiar, this is the season when Carrie gets engaged to Aidan, who is played by John Corbett.
As I was watching this at 3am this morning because I couldn't sleep, it suddenly occurred to me why John Corbett seemed to familiar to me . . . because he reminds me of Jon! Not that I'm all that familiar with Jon, but having read your blog for a while now and read his blog for a while now and watched several of your home videos and viewed the many pictures you post and listened to several of your radio interviews and watched the television interviews of the two of you . . . well, you get the picture.
I vote John Corbett, a la Sex and the City season 4! :)

Who knew David Gregory had such moves? Still totally turns me off. Lurve me some Jason Lee, and that's who Jon looks like. But cuter. And definitely a touch of John Corbett thrown in there.

110. Dawn said:
I seriously think that Jon looks like Sam the Cooking Guy, who coincidentally went off on Kathy Lee and that other woman (can't be bothered to find her name) that interviewed you and trampled you and acted like vapid twits. It was on Youtube and everything, and I hoped you had seen it, but then they took it down.

Such a wide array of comparisons naturally renders them all null and void. It's as if people see his face and feel compelled to compare...

Jason Lee, hands down. Although David Gregory sure does move his hips well. Mmmmmmhmmmmm....
166. carolbrowne said:
Team Laroquette! Totally.
167. Becky said:
Jason Lee DUH! I have thought that forever.
But I think I'll be dreaming about a gyrating David Gregory tonight.
168. vanessa said:
How about a Tom Cavenaugh. That's my vote.
169. Jennifer Lowry said:
Oh Jason Lee DEFINITELY! I've thought that since the first time I saw him- ESPECIALLY in that pic you dubbed "Scrumptious Bearded Armstrong" where he had just spent hours raking leaves.... :)
170. Wendy Smith said:
Maybe if all three of them had a baby? Or someone ran amok with a gene splicer in their DNA? Like Three Men and a Baby meets Frankenstein? That seems like a fun way to give birth to Jon.
But if I had to pick just one, I guess it would be Jason Lee.
171. Kelli said:
Jason Lee, hands down. I've thought it myself before.
172. houndrat said:
I have to say I haven't seen enough photos of your hubby to have a vote here, but David Gregory seriously stole my husband's dance moves. Although maybe I shouldn't be admitting that in a public forum.
Great videos.
173. Steph said:
Clearly Doug is on crack. Everyone can see that your husband best resembles Mr. Bill of SNL fame.
174. Angela said:
Okay. David Gregory's face (he is not a douchebag; I love him) with John Laroquette's hair and Jason Lee's skin. Creepy, I know. But so true.
175. Tootsie Farklepants said:
He totally reminds me of John Favreau. I thought I was being original but I can see other comments that agree.
176. terry said:
Jason Lee, only hotter!
177. lisabee said:
john larroquette - no doubt.
178. Paula said:
David Gregory, for sure.
179. NordanticElaine said:
Jason Lee all the way!!! :)
180. Lilly said:
Its John Larroquette out of that choice except your Jon is way hotter its true. Brad Pitt? I can never understand what anyone sees in him - and no, I do not have impaired vision....
181. Lisa said:
John L all the way!!!
They should make a reality show of your life!
182. Sarah said:
It would seem I'm in the minority here, but I have to say Jason Lee.
183. mommyknows said:
I've always thought he looked a little like John Travolta.
MommyKnows!
184. Gooseberried said:
John Laroquette for sure, man.
I'm pretty sure there's an episode of that show where Laroquette's character has sex with his significant other at the time All Day Long. Coincidence?
185. Jen said:
Jason Lee.... hands down! It's freaky how much they look alike.

mr. dooce is cooler than these guys but if i have to pick... i'd say earl.

I am highly impressed by David's moves. He was able to spin and transition into the side step, on beat.
189. E-man said:
As they say on talk radio: long-time reader, first-time poster...
May I most 'umbly suggest a resemblance to Rheostatics' guitarist Martin Tielli -- see http://dropd.com/issue/87/Rheostatics
190. Caitlin said:
Jason Lee!
191. Tamara said:
Funny, I was just playing around on this website today -
http://www.myheritage.com/face-recognition
You can put in a photo and it will match it with celebrity look-alikes. I'm not saying it's necessarily super accurate, but it's fun!
192. Rachael said:
Jason Lee for sure.
193. Katrisha said:
Jason Lee. but only if Jon would grow out his hair and 'stache. LOL!
194. bethany actually said:
Jason Lee.
195. Jessica said:
John Larroquette by a mile! Except your Jon is more youthful in appearance.
196. Megan said:
I can see all of the resemblances, but for years--since I started reading Dooce in 2004--I have always been struck by the Jason Lee resemblance.
197. Sarah B. said:
Oof. I'm tempted to go Brewster's Millions on this one and vote for None of the Above. But if I had to pick, I'd say John Larroquette. Only because neither of the other two make any sense to me at all. I like someone's earlier suggestion of combining Larroquette and John Cusack...mostly for vibe (or at least as much vibe as I've been able to ascertain from not actually knowing the guy) but I guess they're in the same general looks-family, too.
198. Millie said:
Jason Lee!!! Was there ever any doubt?!
199. rach said:
In my book, he's a ringer for John Larroquette..
200. Honey said:
No question. Johnny Larroquette.
201. JoAnn said:
If you see the resemblance between Jon and David Gregory, it must be David.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Every time I see reruns of CSI:Miami and see the character Speed, I think of your mate.

204. Ms. Sm'allard said:
Jason Lee, hands down.
205. Krystal said:
I'd have to say John Larroquette and Jason Lee mixed together.
206. LC said:
He looks like someone from Night Court. It's not Bull. It's not Harry Anderson. And he's white.
207. Suzanne said:
In a way they all resemble, but thank you for specifically posting the David Gregory video. I needed yet again a reminder of why I do not dance- especially in public. On national television. Maybe email him that video link for his kind reminder.
208. Ash said:
Definitely Jason Lee!
209. Spinnaker said:
Jason Lee!
210. andrea said:
I had to watch all three videos but I'd say John Larroquette by a margin. The question is: does he have David Gregory's dance moves?
211. Janet said:
It is a real close choice between David Gregory and John Larroquette. But I think that John Larroquette is probably the closest.
BTW, that dancing David Gregory made me throw up in my mouth a little. eegggg.
212. Betsey said:
Jason Lee.
The video of David Gregory dancing made my day.
213. Michelle said:
Out of those choices, I find Jason Lee the most attractive, so I might as well do Jon the compliment of saying that he has the closest resemblance.
214. hp said:
if we're going to throw in some pretty boy names, how about Hugh Jackman?
also tall, dark and handsome
215. Megan said:
John Larroquette, for sure.
216. Kimi said:
I have no idea what your husband looks like, but I have always had a crush on David Gregory, so if he looks like him, yum!!!!
217. Jessica Danger said:
JASON LEE. Fer Sher.
218. Janie said:
The bearded lady, fo-suure!
219. D SONSINI said:
Jon's double is a guy named Jeff Frederick from Mahwah, NJ. We saw him on the Discovery Channel's show Alaska Experiment. You can check him out here - scroll down:

220. Kristy said:
Jason Lee. Rawr.
221. Jen M said:
Are you kidding? JOHN CORBETT!!!!!! I've always thought so.
222. Jennifah said:
I have to go with those who say John Favreau (before he got all fatass) and Jason Lee combo. Your Jon seems to have the patience of a saint tho, so you might have to sprinkle a little goodness on top (like cinnamon toast).
So we are not taking footwear into consideration...? Cause I can see Jason Lee in mandals, but not clogs. John Favreau - strickly a flip flop dude.
223. Coy said:
Jason Lee, but probably just because I have a crush on him. (On Jason, not your husband, I swear)
224. grimsaburger said:
For your sake, I hope it's David Gregory. Those are some moves.
225. EricaB said:
Totally a young John Larroquette. Hands down.
226. Meg said:
John Larroquette!
227. mandm said:
Definitely Jason Lee. But I'm not sure if he wears clogs.
228. misstraceynolan said:
Larroquette!
Gotta say though, the David Gregory video makes me smile every time.
229. shonda said:
For Heather:
Well, I'm definitely voting David Gregory, but that could very well be because I am a news junkie and have adored Gregory for a while. Remember when President Bush tried to teach him the definition of vigilante? It was awesome!
For Jon:
Definitely Brad Pitt! No question!!
230. Jennifer said:
I'm not sure which one most resembles your husband, but I just wanted to say that the video of David Gregory dancing to Mary J. Blige might just be the hottest thing I've seen in a long, long time.
231. Andi said:
Um, is it indicative of my lack of creativity that I can't see Jon in ANY of them? I mean, he looks like he could be John Larroquette's brother... David Gregory's son... Jason Lee's neighbor...
I think he looks exactly like a guy I dated in college, but to elaborate further would just be creepy.
(PS - Heather, I think you are WAY cuter than Keira Knightly. She does that weird thing with her nose all the time that makes it look like she just smelled something foul.)
232. robinv said:
John Larroquette for sure!!!
233. Annie said:
I'm going to go with John L., even though I think David Gregory is adorable. Have you seen the video of him dancing to Jon Secada on the Today Show one Christmas? I dvr'ed it watched it for an entire month!
234. BOSSY said:
Bossy thinks Jon looks like that very famous star of the Internet: Leta.
235. skh said:
make him grow a mustache and then we'll really see what's what!
236. Nora said:
I vote Jason Lee. I don't know Jon but I figure his humor and mannerisms (based on what you share with us) are more Jason Lee-ish.
237. Nikki said:
Based on appearances alone, I'm going to have to say that Jon resembles John Corbett from Sex and the City most. So much so that I might even suggest that they're really the same person.
238. kasta said:
Jason Lee... sans the whole Scientology thing.
I hope.
239. Lovebuzz38 said:
I think its a mixture between John Larroquette and John Corbett. AND they are all 3 named JOHN. How weird is that?! I totally enjoyed David Gregory's dance moves, by the way.
240. Mariluz said:
John Larroquette ---obviously!
241. Renee said:
I'm going with Jason Lee!
242. PAPA said:
How about Phil Mickelson? Golf master.

If you haven't seen the Phil look alike commerical, enjoy. It's 30 seconds long. And funny.
243. Shannon said:
Jason Lee? What are you people smoking? John Larroquette 100%.
244. Dyanna said:
I said it years ago - No doubt Jason Lee.
245. Jen said:
Jason Lee...they have the same wicked moves.
246. Mimi said:
I'm with Jon....there is something SO Brad Pitt about Jon that I'm dying to see him in Achilles attire!!

Does anyone else see the resemblace between David Gregory and the Grinch? Must be the eyebrows. In terms of the poll, my vote goes to Laroquette!!

Larroquette it is!
253. Bee said:
A clean Jason Lee before all the facial hair.
254. Miss Britt said:
Wait. You mean he WASN'T on Night Court?!?!
And here I've been hanging around this site all this time hoping for some "behind the scenes" scraps about the big bald guy.
255. Kateastrophe said:
From the first picture I saw of Jon, I thought Corbett all the way. Personality, looks, the whole nine.
I don't really see the others. I'm just stubborn like that. :)
256. Anonymous said:
Larroquette.
257. Tanya said:
I think he looks like Joe Strummer. (I actually saw this painting last weekend, and wondered why she'd painted Jon.)
258. Christie said:
I agree with Nikki, I vote for John Corbett, especially when he talks. I think there's a similarity in their inflections and facial mannerisms. There's a sincere geekiness thing going on. Love it!
259. nahanni said:
I think he looks like John Laroquette, Jason Lee and John Corbett.
260. Lauren said:
Jason Lee for sure. He's the man.
261. Lindsey said:
Definitely John Corbett. That was my first thought years ago when I first started reading Dooce.
262. Melanie said:
I am totally all over Jason Lee. Like in Almost Famous, with a little less hair. Yeahhhhhhh.
Oh, and Jon kinda looks like him, too.
263. minxlj said:
Definitely Jason Lee (I've thought that myself a couple of times)
Anyway I vote to see Jon in an Earl costume at Halloween. With a real moustache and all. DORJ! went as Earl last Halloween and it was awesome.
Come to think of it Heather, I think you would make a striking Joy!! You'd get to put on a strong(er) Southern accent and yell at strangers - how about it? LOL :-)
264. Nala said:
Jason Lee is seriously dirty sexy. I'm with the putting Jon in an Earl costumer.
265. Leeshka said:
So, I've kinda been thinking that he and Ben Folds look like they could be some sort of relation. But, maybe that's just me.
=lee
266. minisoda said:
This is really weird, because I was just thinking about asking whether Jon had been at the Irish Festival on Harriet Island in St. Paul last weekend. Because he had a doppelganger at the Naked Juice booth. I was even going to use the word doppelganger. ooooh-weeeee-oooooh.
267. Jennsa said:
Jason Lee all the way. It's an interesting combination of looks and personality that make me think that.
268. Michele said:
Jason Lee...for sure.
269. Heidi said:
I vote for David Gregory. His video was sweet. Note to all white people out there (including me) - we NEED some new moves.
Would love to see side by side photos of all four guys to really tell for sure.
270. Manya said:
John Laroquette for sure
271. Amy said:
There are resemblances to all, but John is better looking than all 3 put together =)
272. Kim said:
Jason Lee for sure, and a lot of Luke from the Gilmore Girls.....
273. Kelly said:
John Laroquette. No doubt about it.
274. jenny said:
wow, totally in the minority here, but I think David Gregory is far and away the closest. is the hair thing throwing people off?
my brother and my faces are practically xeroxes of each other, but because he has red hair and i have brown, they always think my (doesn't look at all like me but has brown hair) boyfriend is my brother and vice versa. perhaps we need some photoshopped blond hair to judge properly!
275. Julie said:
pfft.... Jason Lee hands down.
276. jessica said:
dude. sans facial hair? jon favreau.
277. Nancy said:
Jon's got the ol' dapper "Dan Fielding" looks all the way. (mixed with a generous splash of John Corbett).
278. Jenna said:
oh, john larroquette for sure. i don't see jason lee at all, although i do love jason lee. haha.
but as someone said earlier... a more rugged john larroquette, but definitely larroquetteish. lol.
279. Amy said:
I have to agree with Kat's Mom who posted this link:
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/080307_jonfavreau2.jpg
Although Rob Morrow is a good runner up, he's nowhere near the Fav.
280. Josh said:
John Larroquette, hands down, though David Gregory is close behind. Amazing similarities!
281. Heather said:
When you recently visited Vancouver, a friend of mine laid eyes on Jon for the first time and exclaimed, "Man, does he ever look like John TRAVOLTA!"
282. Lina said:
A thin Jon Favreau, a million times.

John Cusack!
284. Bre said:
I don't think Jon looks like any of them. And he's better looking than all of them.
285. Sideorder said:
I went to High School with David Gregory. I know he looks like he's 50, but he's only 38, graduated in 1988. He could be Jon's baby brother. He was balls out funny! Really, really, witty with an incredibly dry sense of humour, and TALL! He's about 6'5. I loved that video of him dancing...that's the David I knew and loved back in the 80's. So who knows...Jon and David could be distantly related. Is Jon Jewish?
286. Chuck fan said:
I totally get John Larroquette, but I would lean toward David Gregory. I do not see Jason Lee at all.
287. ...loveMaegan said:
omg. he's not a bad dancer, really.
the news is ridiculous.
288. Kay said:
I vote Jason Lee because on the hotness scale John is equal to him. The others? not hot, and you have a hot husband, so be proud, Dooce!

Larroquette first, Jason Lee second

JASON LEE. Jon looks like Jason Lee! I have thought this since I found your website way back in 2004. And while we are on the subject of look-alikes, you could be the twin sister of Uma Thurman. No joke.

David Gregory if he had darker less poufy hair.

Jason Lee - but hotter.
And while I'm on it (heh), I think David Gregory is smokin' too!
299. robyn said:
What?! Jason Lee? I can't believe so many people see that. I can't see it at all. Same with Gregory, but that's more because he looks like a combination of two other people I know. (And they're married ... weird, right?) That video of him dancing is priceless, FYI.
So I'd say definitely Laroquette, but more handsome.
