'Top Chef''s Kevin has a Muppet twin

Categories: Muppets, Top Chef

kevin-top-chef-muppet_lSo as I was watching Top Chef last night, all I could think about was how much Kevin looks like the Ghost of Christmas Present from Muppet Christmas Carol. Come in and know me better, Kevin! I am so rooting for you.

Am I right or am I right, PopWatchers? Separated at birth, y’all.

    Not QUITE as spot-on as Yukon Cornelius, but still very very good. Way to make the connection!

    He looks more like Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

    I hate watching top chef with hairy guys (arms, beards) for that one fear i find in my… Yech.

  • steve s

    Close, but my husband and I have the perfect comparison….a baby orangutan. Soooo cute.

  • jcarla

    Sorry, Kevin will always be Ginger Santa to me.

    Yup, definitely Yukon Cornelius. Even Kevin himself says so on his Facebook page.

  • Peachy

    I think he looks like Teddy Ruxpin.

  • RCCola

    Kevin is the “Heat Miser” from “The Year Without a Santa Clause.” He’s just too much….

  • Sara

    The muppet comparison has so already been done by the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Channel Surfing blog. Last season. Carla. Miss Finch from “Follow That Bird.” Nuff said.

    Bah! Yukon Cornelius has that big old ’stache that sticks out in a zig-zag on each side. He is more a cross between Yukon Cornelius and the Ghost of Christmas Present.

  • actingup

    My husband and I think he looks like young Kris Kringle from “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” (a Rankin Bass classic!)

    • Gamera29

      I thought of that immediately . He is totally Kris Kringle!

  • LisaMama

    Awesome shout-out to the Muppet Christmas Carol! One of my favorite Christmas movies of all time :-)

  • Kelsey

    Um, Kevin’s cartoon twin is Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer.

  • laylagalise

    He really resembles both Yukon and the Ghost! Hope he wins (though I could settle for Jen)!

    I always think of a garden gnome when I look at Kevin.

  • Amber

    I think he looks like one of the orangutans from Orangutan Island.

    hahah! awesome!

  • ben

    give him a pointy hat and he looks like a garden gnome.

  • Emmy

    I think definitely a mix between Yukon Cornelius and the Ghost of Christmas Present from the Muppet Christmas Carol.

  • mack

    Kevin also bears a striking resemblance to the cable guy from the verizon commercials….and/or a garden gnome

  • tistheseason

    “Dont ask him for a favor for his nastiness increases, no crust of bread for those in need, no cheeses for us mices” hahaha i love it
