This is an all-timer:

"Mr. Scharpling, 45, a New Jersey native with a burly, John Belushi-esque build and the tousled hair of a Roman emperor"

Hooboy, this article. So great! But, man, "Belushi-esque" seems so unfair.

The NYT fact checkers got Tom's age wrong. Pretty sure he's said on the show several times that he's 57 years-old.

Also, I think they got Tom's last name wrong. I am pretty sure Darren has said it was Schlarblorf?

Typical Times bias not to mention the voice modulator.
