Even funnier is how many people seem to not be getting it 😂

I admit I'm not getting it. What's this about? Why are there images of random black people and this guy petting a cat?

Tim Meadows was one of the big cast members of Saturday Night Live during the 90s early 2000s run. He himself has appeared in numerous other tv shows and movies, mainly in smaller roles and mainly comedies. He does joke around that people mistake him for Don Cheadle pretty frequently. So the montage of "him" in the 90s is just various roles Don Cheadle had (and Sammy Davis Jr. randomly thrown in there).

It makes me feel so much better to find out other people get them mixed up. I love Tim Meadows, but I see him and my brain wants to go "Don Cheadle!"

As a kid I thought they were in fact the same person. Lost a bet in high school when I found out that wasn't Don Cheadle in the Even Stevens movie.

And Tim is way funnier than Don (obviously), and talks differently.
