Rainn Wilson = Newt Gingrich? 'The Office' Actor Admits Resemblance

[qtwoot]

Rainn: Accept it proudly!

These other comments are so moronic.

[toddsmitts]

At least now we know who'll play him as a young man in the Lifetime TV movie "What? You Have Cancer? Hit The Road, Bitch: The Newt Gingrich Story"

[GrassValleyGreg]

I knew a kid in high school who I was the SPITTING IMAGE of Buddy Holly. Literally.

[561tolive]

Wow newt has always had that bulbous head of his since forever

[ThePhantom135]

This is such an insult to Rainn Wilson!

[BottleConcreteBlond]

The resemblance is apparrent--but the real comparison is Newt Gringrich and Dwight Schrute--they look alike and are both egotistical sociopaths.

[ElizabethLCRandom]

I love how she doesn't want to be like Newt

[Preetima1125]

@240sxturbofreak I don't know if you know this, but you do know that there is an exit button right? Its really easy, I mean all you have to do is press it if your not happy watching something then poof the video stops. Trust me it works, then the next time you won't have to leave a some snotty comment

[datniggami6]

Fuck Newt

[nickcarter1987]

most pointless clip ever. he doesnt look like him, he looks like he used to look like at least in this random pic where he is wearing the same glasses...FUCK TYT!!!!

[ClickMyName100]

@nickcarter1987

You're stupid.

[apeek7]

The SF Chronicle (30 Jan.) reported Gingrich as saying his wife, Callista, considers herself , “a cross between Nancy Regan and Laura Bush with just a slight bit of Jackie Kennedy tossed in.”

Maybe someone can tell me which of those women had a six year adulterous relationship before becoming first lady?

[240sxturbofreak]

"That' unfortunate"? "Clownish way"?

You both are so amateur it is sick.

I think you "TheYoungTurks" chose the wrong category for the videos you upload. There is no way it should be under "News and politics" You guys are giving TOO MUCH of YOUR own OPINION while giving us " news". You wanna give us news? Do so without giving your AMATEUR opinion. Your category should be "amateur entertainment" you hacks.

[Jerkicus]

@240sxturbofreak haha oh wow, calm down lil buddy. young turks were never meant to be a straight objective news source. it's always been a mouthpiece for their opinions. and its not like fox news, cnn, or msnbc are completely objective either. they all put their unique spin on the news. deal with it, you crybaby.

[ClickMyName100]

@240sxturbofreak

You're stupid.

[ElizabethLCRandom]

@240sxturbofreak News is never objective just look at the news on abc before 5 in the morning and fox news

[nnaco1010]

@240sxturbofreak then why don't you watch cnn, cnbc or bbc worldnews instead.

[Domzdream]

fuck-me- THAT is uncanny. Like his brother.

[lifestandstillhere]

"You're Pro-Life? Go get one!"

bwahahahaa! Cenk, I'd vote for you!

[Dkmitch2]

Dwight Schrute for president!

[Eraserheaddf]

SHUT UP, CRIME!!!!

[IsyLomeli]

you guys should have posted that other pic of newt and rainn, they look more alike :D with almost same glasses too

[TheEnneagram]

NEWT'S COCK TASTES FISHY

[ambrosiathe1]

Some folks here need to relax! Yes, the resemblance is strikingly humorous! It was done all in good fun, BFD....

[Otokogoroshi]

Rainn is a bajillion times hotter then Newt. Newt is also creepy as all get out ><

[TheDevineBeing]

Wow, Newt Gingrich looked like a hipster in his younger days.

[NeoxideMolten]

Young Turks you're slipping on the anti-republican propaganda!

[liduv1977]

Ahhh! the scared me. WTH !!

[QuartuvLarry]

One's more lovable than the other

Gingrich is Eric Cartman all grow'd up

[Shonenut213]

This isn't news worthy

[NeoxideMolten]

@Shonenut213 no but if they can manage to twist it in a negative light towards a republican candidate. That being Newt Gingrich whom they don't have any dirt on, because they've already made videos on all the dirt that's come up on him in the last 30 years. Once you run out of actual smear stories, make up some false lobbyist stories, once you run out of those make up some marriage scandal, after that insult his looks, anything to shine a negative light.

[83redrose83]

woah! that's fucking scary! sorry Rainn...

[kinectaddict]

i can skip this add in 5 sec

[coozgamble72]

Thats fuckin creepy

[Di0genesus]

Oh, Newt. You sperm shooter you. I can see why all the girls are after your ass. It has nothing to do with power and money at all.

[KOOLACKCLOUD]

ROMNEY ,NEWT, OBAMA, CAIN, McCain, same team as Obama -JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs

[Ryan9145X]

Dwight Newt... Schrute Gingrich?

[tehdouglas1]

This was a joke on Colbert, and it was funny when I watched it there LAST WEEK.

[badger279]

quality product. keep it up doods!

[fahadN72]

What a back paddle... Ana

[bluesboy25000]

Does that make Ron Paul Creed Bratton?

[ewigkase1]

poor guy! newt is such a dick would not want anything to do with newt specially not look like him

[sammaggie234]

I think Newt might be Wilson's father. Let's see if the numbers add up

[sargetech]

Even as a younger guy, Newt looks like a Total Dick!

[upabittoolate]

Is this 1st-wife-but-had-a-mistress-wh­ile-she-was-sick Newt or 2nd-wife-who-was-the-mistress-­and-married-the-jerk-but-was-e­ventually-upgraded-by-new-mist­ress Newt?

[mueygringo]

@upabittoolate DOLT!!!

[flake452]

Ha this guy played Phil "the camera guy" in Dark angel.

[Jakedastudly]

The Office sucks ass now.

[fububalla]

@Jakedastudly wrong, you have a Steve Carell fixation. And thats fine because he is awesome!

[Jakedastudly]

@fububalla Actually it hasn't been very funny since season 5, the current season seems the worst however, all the characters have been turned into cardboard cut-outs.

[wistoncap]

That must depress the hell out of Rainn when he considers his future.

[Trackstar064life]

Ron Paul = Jim Halpert

[toddsmitts]

Too bad we don't have Jim Halpert to play a prank on Newt.

[TheJasonDR]

@toddsmitts well we do have Mitt 

[dmiller185]

Look at TYT, casting these aspersions.

[jbadal1]

Even w the 1970 photo of Newt I still don't see what 3 women saw in this idiot. Unless he is/was independantly wealthy then and only then can I see some type of attraction.

[WangDugay]

o man .. Ana looks hotter and hotter. 

[TruthatCearcie]

That's incredible!

WTF (Ô_Ô)

[LeMiff]

@ridewave444 totally agree, that would be awesome.

[SVUfannyc]

They are Both Ugly. End of story.

[LeMiff]

Schrute=Newt.

[cmtsoccer9]

I would take Dwight Schrute over Newt Gingrich for president any day.

[swampskater]

@cmtsoccer9 I don't think there would be too much of a difference.

[bitterblue8]

LOL!

[tythomaspix]

Bears. Beets. Polygamous marriages.

[typecastyourself]

Identity theft is not a joke, Newt! Millions of families suffer every year!

[KidOmniMan]

The American version of the office doesn't count. It's just an Americanized, dumbed down version of a British show that doesn't know how or when to end itself like it's source material did.

[TheBlackmeasa]

@KidOmniMan agreed, the UK version would never get shown state side though

[mariquwa]

Oh wow, when I saw the thumbnail... i thought Rainn was going to play Newt in some biopic or something.... I didn't know that was a pic of Newt... WOW!

[sethzky77]

Fuck you Cenk! Go suck off Al Gore and ignore the real issues.

[thenorwegian76]

@sethzky77 ??? Please enlighten me as to what "real issues" Cenk is ignoring. Is there a topic you feel is missing on this progressive talk show? For the record: TYT is doing precisely the same on Current as they were before, so if you want to accuse anyone of "sucking off" watch what the news anchors on FOX do with Murdoch.

[sethzky77]

@thenorwegian76 Hey dumbass, remember who do you think runs current? Can you say, "Al Gore". There's more important stuff going on in the world than some dumb look alike comparison.

[thenorwegian76]

@sethzky77 You're an idiot. TYT covers lighter stories as well as hard news. And please bother to read before commenting. I do not deny Gore runs current, nor do I feel there's anything wrong with that.

[sethzky77]

@thenorwegian76 Well then your a dumbass. Open your eyes and close your butthole, cause your getting fucked by being blind to the real shit that's going on.

[thenorwegian76]

@sethzky77 I see you have ran out of arguments and now resort to empty insults. Time for you to go troll someplace else.

[sethzky77]

@thenorwegian76 yeah right. "Troll", is that all you got. Nothing original? Nice.

[kirabook]

@sethzky77

How long have you been watching? TYT has ALWAYS done shows like this. And there's nothing wrong with it.

[sethzky77]

@kirabook Cenk sold out and is now Al Gore's Cheer leader. Fuck him. Bought and paid for.

[Oldcartoons571]

@sethzky77 What issues exactly did he sell out on?

[ashunga543]

@sethzky77 what are you angry about? what is he ignoring as the "real issue" in this clip? lol

[sethzky77]

@ashunga543 My point is who cares about look alikes when the world is going to shit. Wars everywhere, the constitution is getting trampled, and on the verge of WW3. That's what I'm angry about!

[Oldcartoons571]

@sethzky77 Are you complaining about the fact that they ran this short story? If so they have always done this so your point doesn't make sense.

If not then you still lack a point

[ashunga543]

@sethzky77 so....your issue isn't this clip. Your issue is that this clip is not what you want it to be. If that is your problem, then go look at litterally an entire library of youtube TYT records on there main channel. Complaining that TYT decided to put up a funny clip about Gingrich, instead of a seriouse news report is a waste of time lol.

[sethzky77]

@ashunga543 Enjoy armageddon.

[ashunga543]

@sethzky77 and what will you enjoy?

[sethzky77]

@ashunga543 Peace of mind knowing that I was informed and not a mindless sheep hell bent on gossip and celebrity news.

[ashunga543]

@sethzky77 lol thats so pestimistic. If hell is going to boil over and I can't do anything about it. Then allow me to smile and enjoy my last few minutes. Were not missinformed here, but TYT doesn't have to make EVERY clip a report on politics/ginrich.

[sethzky77]

@ashunga543 well, the truth is Cenk's a traitor so screw him and the young turds.

[NeoxideMolten]

@ashunga543 they've ran out of smears towards him, and can no longer make up smears either. So now they throw around child humor as a last ditch effort

[NeoxideMolten]

@ashunga543 exactly. TYT has an agenda to push.

[ridewave444]

Wilson should play Gingrich in an HBO movie or some kind of movie. It could be a scathing biography type thing and could be pretty damn good.

[spaik007]

its funny how they tried to make dwight look like an idiot, and newt looks like that by being himself

[BIGS7]

Whether or not the actor admits resemblance is utterly irrelevant to the fact that they look like each other :p

[DejectedPanda]

If he were about 100 lbs overweight, you couldn't tell them apart.

[jin37uk]

Bears, Beets, Ana Kasparian

[Shadowclock315]

I actually think the old gingrich looks alot like jermaine from flight of the choncords.

[wargarurumon]

poor rainn wilson

[ChuckLonewolf]

Dayum... Stay Puft was Stay Smooth back in the day!

[adrenacrumb]

We need to bring back the huge 70's sideburns.

[Vekhematu]

1970's Newt to me looks pretty gangsta... whereas the other guy looks like a clown.

[marley54fd]

Maybe Newt can do a cameo on The Office as Rainn Wilson's retarded great grandfather.

[MurdocB7]

who the fuck cares?

[WispierTetrahedrons]

Dwight also seems like the kinda guy who would promise a permanent moon base by 2020, although his would probably be guarded by bears.

[damlurker]

so dat was how newt was smashing his highschool teacher.. he actually didnt look like a giant turd back then..

[coolman9999uk]

Ana, I bet your a bitch of a colleague. I know too many girls like you. Mind your own fucking business.

[Stevie68000]

@coolman9999uk

You're the bitch !

[LOLUK]

@coolman9999uk I actually agree.

[Stm11111]

@coolman9999uk

Wow...Someone has deep seeded issues towards women. Relax

[coolman9999uk]

@Stm11111 Look I'm the first to admit she has big boobs, but she's a bitch, I know it.

[xxcrossed]

Ana = Newt ! lmao !

[caxzrockz]

the us office sucks

[MetalGearFool]

I'm still in the process of collecting my jaw from the floor.

[roblesterfilms]

scary

[redeyes40oz]

newts an asshole

[radudeATL]

@redeyes40oz I would have to disagree with you on that one. Assholes serve a useful purpose...

[Jh5kRadio]

@redeyes40oz Agreed.

Sincerely,

a newt.

[BIGBABYZIP]

SAME MINDSET TOO.

[saleh2kx]

Man Newt looks like BEAST from the XMEN hehe..He cuda played the young Dr in an XMEN Prequel back in the 70's ..

[saleh2kx]

Ron Paul Looks like the oldest president of the United States.

[KatoKid85]

@saleh2kx I dont think Ron Paul look like George Washington

[saleh2kx]

@KatoKid85 I meant historically he will look like the oldest president once he gets elected :) yet to happen....

[KatoKid85]

@saleh2kx ;)

[Mikemaladar]

The look of disgust on Ana's face..

[muetter]

I don't care what Jim says, that is not the real Benjamin Franklin!

[MrRednijlad]

office! best show ever though do miss steve carell sometimes

[jwdesign336]

I was going to say... bears, beets, and battlestar galactica... but someone already did. Damn.

[hurley3000gt]

Looks like Ana completely toked up before this video. Cenk too

[mert828]

It wouldn't be so bad if they both didn't wear those glasses.

[Nanocyte]

Newt Gingrich actually kind of looks like Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords in that picture.

[iTitanium]

Ron Paul looks like gandalf the white.

[Nmisling]

omg twins

[TheGudZeBadAnDaFozzy]

If you look at Ricky Gervais & Gordon Brown its like looking in to a parallel future where Ricky has gained weight an his career has crashed

[Newenlightenmentnow]

Yes and maybe Newt Gingrich can be assistant to the president someday.

[PersonalJesus348]

I want Ana's eyes on me

[ShikamaruTKD]

@PersonalJesus348 shes so sexy its a tease

[progresIVOMind]

Dunder gingrich

xD

[TheMisfitable]

I got a crush on Ana

[Vormav666]

@TheMisfitable Oh shut up about Ana you wankers... Damn this is getting boring.

[timongarretson]

Wow! Ana can read my fucking mind! 0:35 As I was looking at the picture the thought in my head was "that is unfortunate". LOL. I know who's gonna be playing Gingrinch in Oliver Stone's next movie "The Newt".

[delreydavid]

Newt is from PA also. Is it a Pennsy nerd thing?

[TheNinjaabarbie]

unbelievable

[arcsouljah]

Hilarious!

I tweeted a similar picture to @RockNRoll_Jesus and @jayarjackson

It's an odd morbid curiosity, you don't wanna look at Gingrich's, but you kinda have to! 

[JRCrowley]

Newt's a Fruit.

[whoo689]

That's what she said.

Wilson was awesome in that one rock movie (the name eludes me at the moment).

[fdub301]

@whoo689 ...the rocker

[dangerouslytalented]

Any bets there will be a comedy film where Rainn plays an evil 70s Republcian party functionary in the near future?

[flipmaya]

I have met Rainn Wilson because he does a lot of charity things in my alma matter and I interviewed him once for the school newspaper. (which was hard to do since he was constantly on his phone and he was hosting a concert) He looked pretty plain when I saw him and I would never compare Gingrich to Wilson but they kind of sort of look like each other.

[sdfsdfs13]

Nope, Newt was more of a beauty, and that is not saying much.

[thevadar]

Dwight is my hero. How dare you compare him to Newt.

[malechauvinistxy]

@thevadar Dwight loves Nazis..just like Newt being a right wing fascist..they are exactly the same.

[thevadar]

@malechauvinistxy Dwight does not love Nazi's......... Newt on the other hand... well it wouldn't surprise me.

[tumbipanther]

Just another one of Newts numerous love children lol.

[southrules]

Dwight is a complete socipath on the office, Ana

[lovejohnniebear24]

Three words: "Bears, Beets, Battlestar galactica" XDDDD

[Awkwardgesundheit]

@lovejohnniebear24 Haha I love The Office so much man I'm so happy it turned out so great; legendary show, man, legendary.

[TheHerpaderpderp]

Rainn Wilson went to my Alma Mater!

[hobosbob]

Rainn Wilson doesn't look ginger to me

[AKEdify]

@bgrim2008

Then go away and let us watch it.

This is youtube not your privite news network.

[bgrim2008]

This "news" report is lame! Garbage spam video.

[mabiniss2]

@bgrim2008 they're reporting what has been spreading through the internet. It's not their fault it's making news all over the tubes.

[1955RodHot]

Can I please say that I LOVE Ana? I love her passion. And every time I fact-check her, she's absolutely telling the truth. She's right. Not just beautiful but intelligent. It doesn't get any better.

[thr74ar]

@1955RodHot I have to disagree with that. This show isn't terrible, but usually it's because of her that they have some ridiculous stories that they pass off as news. They could do much better if Ana had something more important to say. That would make the show better.

[1955RodHot]

@thr74ar Obviously you haven't been watching TYT as long as I have, or you would know that Ana regularly tackles very tough, controversial, and current issues. If you don't believe me, the evidence is readily available.

[Polydynamix]

someone should put Newts stapler inside jello

[jack305666]

Rainn Wilson should make a movie like w. but make it be about Newt Gingrich

[bads06]

FALSE: The guy on the Right is much likable

[ztakn]

at least rain knows what he will look like years from now

[sf49ersrule]

DWIGHT

[TheTruthiest]

Mitt Romney looks and talks exactly like an android.
