Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to get out those paparazzi cameras because here is

Straight from Hollywood, California, the bar mitzvah boy himself. David Shakiro

And here comes his famous friends cutting a rug,

Bill and Ted,

Carlton from Fresh Prince, and

Linda Rockstad, I think.

So everyone grab your favorite celebrity and get on out to the dance floor because it is boogie-woogie time.

You got me. I love the tux. Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. I'm Evelyn and the bar mitzvah boy's aunt. Oh, well very nice to meet you Evelyn. Thank you so much nice to meet you too. I'm a very big fan. I've seen all your movies. Oh wow. Yeah, everyone. It is always nice to meet a fan. That's what I say.

They really do look just like him. It's uncanny. Well, thank you. No, it's not just the physical resemblance. Yeah, I can't put my finger on it exactly. Yeah, maybe it's the head thing. What's the head thing? You know, it's the cluny here. I'll show you. Introduce yourself again. Hi, I'm Evelyn. Well, hello, Evelyn. Oh,

God, that spot on. What can I say? I've done my research. You know, Tom Cruise is over there telling everyone to show him the money. I don't even think that was his line. Well, I don't have any catch phrases to lean back on for this. Oh, that can't be true. No, I'm sure you do. No, I've checked. There isn't one single identifiable line from any George Clooney movie I've ever seen. Yeah, hold on. Just a sec. Let me think. Try it. Quote me something from Oceans 11. Okay.

Or Oceans 12. Wait. I'll even allow Oceans 13. Attack of the killer. Tomatoes. The Men who started. Yeah, I guess you're right. Intolerable cruel team. I get it. I get it. I get it. I said, I can't just rely on easy brand recognition. I have to embody the man. Well, you, um, definitely stand out. Well, so do you. If you don't mind me saying so. I don't mind you saying so.

You know, I'm a really big Clooney fan. Well, aren't we all? Evelyn, we're gonna need you by the bandstand in a second just to say a few words. Oh, I'll be right there. Do you happen to have a pen? I do. Here you go. Here's my number. You should give me a call sometime.

Hmm. All right. Kassamegas. Maybe I will. Is that a promise? Oh, I don't know. You're not just interested in my pretty face, are you?

No. No. I wonder what it would be like to have a doppelganger. You know, someone out there who looks exactly like you just wandering around. Well, if your doppelganger is famous, you don't need to wonder.

I'm Jonathan Mitchell. This is the truth. And this story is about a man who feels crushed by the weight of his own familiar face.

We are getting to the end of our annual fundraiser. And as of recording on this date, we still need 518 donors to reach our goal of 1000 donors. And if you've already donated, thank you. And if you haven't donated, this is it. The time is now. We need you to pitch in today.

Every gift makes a difference to me and the actors and the writers and all of the creators on this network. And monthly donations are particularly helpful because they mean we can plan ahead. And every contribution makes it possible to continue making the truth and other interesting beautiful things for you.

And this year, we have swag. If you donate $7 a month, you'll get some neat stickers or $13 a month. It's your baseball cap that says radio topia on it, you know, like the little Sonic ID here at the end of the show.

Your donations make our work possible. Had to radio topia.fm to make your gift today.

And now back to the look alike.

Hi, my name is Alan Payne and I will be performing Richard's prison monologue Act 5, scene 5.
