Jimmy Fallon and Gene Mueller

"Screengrabs" is a recurring segment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Viewers submit humorous screengrabs and they're highlighted on the show. The bit regularly ends with a photo that resembles Fallon. He always says he doesn't see the resemblance and then proceeds to dress like the person in the photo. A split screen then allows the audience to compare.

The week before the week before Christmas, "Screengrabs" was featured.

The photo at the end was an old picture of Chester Marcol in his Packer uniform and a reporter. Fallon went into his usual routine. He put on a wig and a mustache, then came the split screen.



So what?

It turns out the Fallon look-alike is Gene Mueller.

Although I watched the bit, I didn't recognize him.

Last month, during an episode of "The Tonight Show," host Jimmy Fallon went through his usual segment of quirky viewer-submitted screengrabs – a flood knocking out Noah's Ark Preschool, a Yelp review that leads with "I got stabbed" – before reaching the final photo (at minute 3:40 for those who want to sit through as little of Fallon as possible) submitted by a woman in West Palm Beach, Florida, who thought that somebody in a retro NFL photo looked a little like the former "SNL" star.

No, not the guy in the helmet on the left, but the guy with the helmet hair on the right. Now, it might be hard to tell underneath the big glasses, bowl-cut and porno 'stache, but that fledgling young WSPT Stevens Point reporter is WTMJ's Gene Mueller interviewing former Green Bay Packers kicker Chester Marcol in 1980 right after he'd caught his own blocked field goal for the game-winning touchdown against the Chicago Bears.

What I don't see, however, is a doppelgänger for Jimmy Fallon – at least until, like in all of these segments, Fallon's wardrobe department whips up a replica of the supposed twin's outfit, in this case complete with hair, mustache and barely post-disco duds. And the verdict...

Well, he still doesn't look all that much like Mueller.... [F]ull disclosure – Gene Mueller is my father, and I can't decide if a late night show host dressing up like my dad is the coolest thing in the world or the most embarrassing thing in the world.

I think it's cool.
