If you have ever been to a sports arena, you have seen a Jumbotron. Cameramen do things during the games to keep the crowd engaged. One of the crowd favorites is the “Jumbotron Celebrity Lookalikes” challenge. Cameramen find people in the arena and match them with celebrities they resemble. Sometimes, the selected matches are spot-on, like Statler and Waldorf.

Most people laugh when they see themselves on the Jumbotron with celebrity lookalikes. Some matches are a bit of a stretch, and it takes the audience a moment to make the connection.
But when it clicks, there is applause and laughter. The next guy totally missed an opportunity. He should have assumed the crossed-arms pose this mascot is famous for. He did nail the facial expression and almost had the perfect smile.
This one did not take any imagination at all. It is such a perfect match, and the audience loved it. The gentleman looked a bit stoic at first, but then celebrated with a happy shout.
The cameramen’s choices of actual people to match were incredibly accurate. The Steve Urkel comparison made the fan laugh so hard that he spilled his popcorn… because it was Urkel himself! This one could actually be the celebrity sitting in the arena watching the hockey game.
