SOLVED!
[Blind Gossip] This famous guy has done a couple of movies but is definitely better known for his work on TV.
If he was jogging around your neighborhood right now, would you recognize him?
Guess our mystery man’s identity!

[Optional] Would you like to see him back on a regular TV show?
SOLVED!
No, it’s not John Malcovich or Gerald McRaney or Patrick Stewart, as some of you guessed.
It’s former late night host, Daaaaaviddddd Letterman!
David Letterman is really relaxing in his retirement.
He’s shaving his head, he’s shopping at Target, he’s grumbling about Donald Trump, and he’s letting his beard grow out. It’s a full life.
The one thing he’s not doing? Missing late night television.
Everybody needs some sort of job to do. Perhaps Letterman could consider playing Santa Claus at his local mall this holiday season?
Consider the two photos below for a before and after of David Letterman.
Congratulations to everyone who got this right, starting with Molly7111!

Is definitely Dave
spoofbyrd says
David Letterman was shown recently wearing a beard and no he doesn’t need to show back up on TV. Senator Al Franken invited him to run for office when he appeared on the Late Show after Dave had announced his retirement. He told of Senate seat possibly opening up in Indiana and told day he would love for him to run. I would like to see it too and the audience was warm to it also . Senator David Letterman . Even Congressman David Letterman . What do you think my fellow Dems.

Dave Letterman.
I didn’t know he did some movies ?
YES, love to see him back on TV. I miss his show.
Stubbs says
Although the consensus says Letterman- I could see this as Brian Cranston too. Has Letterman done movies (outside of a cameo or two for Chris Elliot)?
Stubbs says
Nope- consensus is correct. – ball state logo blurred out.

Bryan Cranston
-Clue: jogging around the neighborhood (malcolm in the middle)
YES!!!
Katmandu says
it is David Letterman! (and he says his wife just HATES the beard!) … He’s done short bits in a few movies (Cabin Boy, Eddie) and tv, and voice work…I miss him, but his best work is in the past. I think he deserves to enjoy himself in retirement and enjoy his family. He is 69 years old now, has had several serious health issues in the past, and made a wise decision to end the show.
sublimeLime says
It’s Letterman, did he wear a hairpiece before?????
MollyPitcher says
It’s David Letterman w/his Ball State University t-shirt on.
There’s no chance he’s headed back to TV so let him retire in peace.
pattycakes says

Frasier is one of my favorite shows ever. I still watch it on Netflix, or Hallmark Channel if I’m up that late.

No way would I recognize him if I saw him on the street, and that’s probably the way he wants it. I loved his show, but if he wants to enjoy retirement, then that is what I want for him.

David Letterman’s creepy “retirement look”. Ugh. But hey, he’s earned the right to look however he wants.
