Chicago has really taken to The Bear, which is kind of fun in some respects but if you were a regular patron of, say, Mr Beef or Kasama, the lines are insane now. There are tourists coming to town just to hit all the restaurants shown in the series. I'm sure Ever is now booked into oblivion as well.

British show The Last Leg is also having a multiple-episode Keir Starmer lookalike contest, with four people competing each week. The winner of each advances to a semifinals and then they will pick the winner.
The winner of one episode's contest was a dog.

Dear therapist: I have really appreciated our work together but I really feel like my mental health needs will be better served by the hot therapist who looks like The Bear. Sincerely, Every straight lady in therapy in Chicago.

Dolly Parton famously entered a lookalike contest and lost it. Charlie Chaplin supposedly did but Snopes says they can't make ruling.

Duolingo posted an “Emo girl from Duolingo lookalike contest”. Made me chuckle.
