I just hope she didn't think she saw me on Dateline

Tonight I stopped at Applebee's to pick up a big tub of chicken wings.

It was our last night of class, so we decided to pile up some food and eat before our big exam.

I'm generally useless when it comes to bringing food to stuff like this, so I decided I'd break the mold tonight and carry my weight for once.

I went inside the restaurant to place my order and then went out to the car to call home and check in with Wife.

After a while, a girl brought the wings to my car and said this:

"I'm sorry it took so long. And I just have to ask - are you on TV?"

I gave her a puzzled look.

"You look like the guy on the news," she elaborated. "Everyone inside thinks so."

Unfortunately, "the guy on the news" was as specific as she could get. So that narrows things down to a range that spans from Bill O'Reilly to Al Roker. And a host of other local news dudes.

I told her that no, I'm not on the news. And I told her that she should tell her friends inside that I am.

Because apparently I'm a huge supporter of honesty.

So here's a question for you (and this will be fun since most of you don't actually know me): Which TV personality would you guess I most resemble?

Enter your guess in the Comments.

It must be Gene Shalit because of the bow tie.
