SEPARATED AT PUBERTY


Most of you probably don't remember Knucklehead Smith.


Most of you probably DO remember Justin Timberlake.


I wish it were the other way around, but there it is.


Knucklehead Smith was one of the dummies (along with Jerry Mahoney) of ventriloquist Paul Winchell back in the 1950s and '60s.


Justin Timberlake is currently one of the dummies of pop music.


Here's a photo of (left to right) Jerry Mahoney, Paul Winchell and Knucklehead Smith:



Now, here's a photo of Knucklehead Smith followed by a photo of Justin Timberlake:



Separated at puberty?

You decide.

OMG! I can't believe there is another person alive who sees the so obvious resemblance of 'Justin Timberlake' & Paul Winchell's dummy 'Knucklehead Smith'!!
For all those old enough to enjoy seeing the Paul Winchell show back in the day, making the connection (at least physically)between the two is hilarious. So glad you agree. Wonder how the 'big star' Justin would feel if he knew he resembled a real 'dummy'! LOL
