I've been seeing this guy a lot. Don't really know who he is or what he represents.

Can someone fill me in?

It's a meme that's been everywhere lately. I don't know where this originated, but it's a promo shot from that old King of Queens show.

I never watched the show, but I guess it's old enough now to be a meme.

It was a pretty great show as far as sitcoms go.

That's Doug Heffernan. He's the unofficial "king" of Queens in NYC.

Fuck, I thought it was Paul Blaurt this whole time.
