While waiting for the connecting flight in Cleveland, we shared a waiting area with a very fat, squat man with long blond hair, garish glasses, and a geeky t-shirt with the caption “This is the part where I nod and pretend I’m listening.”

We all recognized him from “somewhere.” I’m thinking he’s some kind of fashion or pop culture pundit. Any ideas, Internet?

EDIT: It was Bruce Vilanch!

Fat blonde pop culture pundit makes 'Harry Knowles' pop in my head, but isn't he tall too? And a beard.

A quick search hasn't found him, but yes, I recognize the description from "Entertainment Online" cable channel among other places.

Edit to add: Second vote for Bruce Vilanch

I was going to say that too.

He has some silly hair... I think on purpose. And I am pretty sure he isn't short.

Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons?
