No one's hands are more famous than John Schnatter's. The founder of Papa John's allegedly insured them for $15.3 million back in 2015, and nearly every story that's been written about him since mentions them. But we're not here to talk about his hands. Let's take a second to focus on his face.
There's the dark hair that frames it, slightly receding above both temples, and the squinty brown eyes that've seen more pepperoni pies than any pair of peepers should in a lifetime. His mustache — in a perpetual state of five o'clock shadow — masks a thin upper lip.
We've seen this mug a lot lately, when a 2010 video of Papa John resurfaced and went viral earlier this year, and just this week, when his personal net-worth dropped a reported $70 million after he called out NFL leadership. Staring at it, news break after news break, made Delish editors realize something: We know this guy. Rather, we know a guy who looks a lot like him.
It was Christopher Knight who first came to mind. You know him best from The Brady Bunch and a slew of unfortunate reality television series, and the upper half of his face is a dead ringer for Papa John's. But when someone else suggested the pizza royalty's face was more akin to The Wonder Year's star Fred Savage's, workflow halted to a stop and a chat room war broke out.
"Christopher Knight and Papa John look like they visit the same plastic surgeon," one Delish staffer wrote, while another reasoned they only shared the same eyebrows. "Fred Savage for sure— it's all in the nose," wrote someone else. Then there were the people who tried to pick and choose features: "Fred Savage's hair, Chris Knight's round face," said one of our editor's followed by a rebuttal from another: "Papa John has the eyes of Christopher Knight and the face of Fred Savage."
That brings us here, to a standstill. Help us, would you: Does Papa John look more like Fred Savage or Christopher Knight?
