<p>Last week were shocked to learn that our favorite viral video of 2011, "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg">The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger (Narrated by Randall)</a>," was not, in fact, the creation of a man named Randall. According <a href="http://www.observer.com/2012/01/honey-badger-dont-care-about-new-tv-show/">to a press release about a new animated project</a> based on the YouTube series, the man behind the Randall videos was actually named <strong>Christopher Gordon</strong>.</p>
<p>So we were very confused by <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/25/honey-badger-randall-revealed-video">this TMZ video</a> interview with the purported "Randall" (no last name given), who looks like an extra from <em>Boogie Nights</em>. Is this Mr. Gordon's alter-ego? Or does Randall actually exist?</p>

<p>Here's Mr. Gordon's <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/czgordon">Twitter page</a> in which he refers to himself as "Randall's assistant." Could that be Mr. Gordon behind the shades? His profile picture doesn't look a lot like Randall, but maybe he's hired someone to portray him, ala J.T. Leroy.</p>
