Behold Mediaite’s Uncanny Political Media Doppelgängers

Joe Concha and Padraig Harrington

Is it a little self-serving to put our own columnist Joe Concha on this list? Absolutely. Do we care? No we do not, especially when he is a dead ringer for golfing champ and Irish heartthrob Pádraig Harrington. Harrington became a known entity in homes across America when he won the Open Championship in 2007, and there’s simply no denying how much “Paddy” looks like Concha. Joe may not be bringing home any illustrious golf trophies anytime soon (he reportedly shot 64 last week in Arizona – on the back nine anyway). But he is doing media and political punditry across the dial on both television and radio, and he always keeps his readers guessing on where he’ll come down on the hot topic of the day.

Megyn Kelly & Elsa from Frozen

If you ask Donald Trump, calling Megyn Kelly an ice queen wouldn’t do her demeanor justice. Since you’re asking us here at Mediaite, though, we say she and Frozen’s Elsa are practically one and the same! The cool, calm, and collected anchor of The Kelly File looks just like the fabulously fierce and ruthless queen who has a heart of gold buried under her frigid facade. [images via Fox and Flickr]

Chuck Todd and The Office‘s David Brent

Bet you never saw THAT one before, but now that we’ve pointed it out to you, good luck trying to shake it. Every time you watch Meet the Press or MTP Daily from now on, we want you to think of Ricky Gervais’ most famous character, and the one that launched one of the most successful American spinoffs of all time. It’s hard to imagine though that Todd struts around 30 Rock the same way Brent did at Wernham-Hogg paper merchants, but it’s still hard to deny that these two look very much alike. If it’s Sunday… it’s David Brent’s doppelgänger.

Jesse Watters and Josh Radnor

“How I met your mother…” might sound like the beginning of a sophomoric joke made by Fox News’ Jesse Watters when he takes to the streets for his Watters World segment. But it’s also the name of the CBS show that made Josh Radnor famous, and it’s tough to argue that he and Watters don’t look remarkably similar. Watters has become a staple for Fox News; in addition to his coverage for boss Bill O’Reilly and the debut of his own show in the fall, Watters coanchored the Fox News New Year’s Eve celebration. All of which begs the question… Haaave you met Jesse? [images via Fox and Wikipedia Commons]

Tom Shillue and Peyton Manning

It brings us tremendous pride here at Mediaite to feature Red Eye host Tom Shillue on our doppelgänger list. After all, we admittedly made a grave error in December leaving the Fox News funny man off our list for the Sexiest in Television News — and he didn’t let us forget it! Here in the wake of Super Bowl 50, is there anyone better to pair Shillue up with than All-American hero and professional commercial actor Peyton Manning? The similarities with these two studs go beyond just handsome looks, as an insider source tells us that Shillue was quite the athlete himself: He excelled as a running triple-threat in school! Fall, winter, and spring, Shillue dominated the pavement in cross country and indoor track, and his 6-foot gazelle-like physique brought him all the athletic glory, if not more, that his lookalike Manning has had on the gridiron.
