I am convinced after watching last night’s show that [Carson](http://www.bravotv.com/Queer_Eye_for_the_Straight_Guy/Carson_Kressley/) is actually just a new character being played by [Amy Sedaris](http://www.jerriblank.com/swcpix.html) . . . ---

It didn’t hit me till he said, “People always tell me I look like Ellen DeGeneres” last night, and my mind clicked: “Omigod, he’s Amy Sedaris!” They look alike, they walk alike—sometimes they even talk alike! ---

Maybe that’s why I keep expecting him to yell “You dirty dirty dirty dirty Jew cheap jacket!” (Amy Sedaris from SWC reference [“you dirty dirty dirty Jew diary!”], not an anti-semitic comment.) ---

I always thought Jerry Blank and Tammy Faye were the same person. ---

Carson looks _exactly_ like a chick from my high school. Same hair, same mouth, same eyes…it’s uncanny! I can’t even watch the show anymore because it freaks me out. ---

Did you notice that when he put on a blond wig pretending to be the girlfriend (last weeks’ ep, I believe) that he turned out looking JUST like her? (that guy could do SO much better, oy)
