Rowan Atkinson?

Just guessing at this point.

Not born in America! Not born in the correct time period!

I thought he was born in 1955?

Is he a white man born on or before November 21, 1968?

No.

No.

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

THREE GUESSES LEFT.

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.

Final clue:

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

Zach Galifianikis

Hosted SNL twice.

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

No.

One guess left.

He has a famous wife.

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.

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.

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

CORRECT!!

Well done sir.

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.

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.

Correct, that video was Beck Bennett impersonating Nick Offerman.

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?
