An inside joke only for fans of the hit FX comedy Atlanta played out at this year's Emmy Awards on Monday night.


Viewers of the show Atlanta spotted a familiar, if a bit creepy, face at the Emmy Awards. Sitting among the guests was Teddy Perkins, one of the two characters played by series creator and star Donald Glover.

When Perkins was spotted, it was assumed that Glover had dressed up as his alter ego, even Variety reported it (Perkins is the one in the red jacket):

But when photos began circulating with Glover in attendance as well, people realized they'd been duped.

Someone else had arrived dressed as Perkins!

Issa Rae tweeted her confusion:

And Perkins even has his own Twitter account.

People were definitely confused -- if it wasn't Glover, then who was it?

No one knows! But some had guesses.


Some quickly folded.

While others pressed on.




Jay Pharoah isn't talking.


It remains a mystery which makes it more fun.



Sometimes the not knowing is the best part.

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
