So you've got Parks. Do you have Recreation?

Nick Offerman. Born 1970. Joliet IL (which is suburban Chicago, but I don't know how strictly that question was answered). Married to Megan Mullaly.

CORRECT!!

Well done sir.

I guess this is revealing personal information about myself, but I live within walking distance of a park with a gazebo built by Nick Offerman. Good choice, and congratulations to cdngooner.

Would the regular players of this game prefer that I:

A. Start a game this afternoon (eastern North America) but only be able to answer questions every 6 hours or so over the weekend? or

B. Start a game Monday morning?

Just start the game, I'd say. No one is obligating you to reply to questions with any regularity.

I definitely thought that we were supposed to look for an impersonation of the actor by the SNL cast

Correct, that video was Beck Bennett impersonating Nick Offerman.

I couldn't find an SNL impression of him, but I think I just did.

I didn't do research here, but I definitely thought that we were supposed to look for an impersonation of the actor by the SNL cast, not the actor impersonating something on SNL.

Alright! Back on the winner's board after a long absence from WebDip. Just "dipping" my toe back in the waters, but will be glad to host the next game. Give me a few hours to think of something good.

Yes, I bet that's it. I couldn't find an SNL impression of him, but I think I just did.

So many possibilities that just dont work: Danny DeVito, Matthew Broderick, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Kurt Russel, Ben Falcone; they all have one or two wrong characteristics. A hard one indeed.

I can't quite make the SNL connection work, but I will guess Tim Heidecker.

No.

One guess left.

He has a famous wife.

Hosted SNL twice.

Zach Galifianikis

Final clue:

He's white, and to confirm, yes he is mostly known from TV.

I am really stumped here. We are looking for a male American comedic actor who is:

- Alive
- Not Jewish
- No "e" in his first name
- Not primarily known for movies (so I am guessing is probably known for television / series)
- Did not star in a top-100 grossing movie
- Not nominated for Best Actor Oscar
- But given all of the above: famous enough to have been impersonated on SNL
- Born before 07/07/1976
- Born in the USA, but not in California, New York City, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Miami, Philly, Atlanta, DC, or Phoenix
- If he is a white man, then he has never been a cast member of or guest-hosted Saturday Night Live, and was born after November 21, 1968.

I went through Wikipedia lists of famous people born in 1968 - 1976, and couldn't find anyone who checks every box above (and was, in my opinion, sufficiently famous enough). I'm guessing, then, we're looking for someone non-white born in or before 1968, but I don't think I'm going to come up with anyone. My hat is off to Jamiet for picking a good challenge.

Rowan Atkinson?

Just guessing at this point.

No.

Rowan Atkinson is British. You are looking for an American.

THREE GUESSES LEFT.
