It's not unusual for a network to show celebrities during a game, especially when it's in Los Angeles.
ESPN was going through a few during its Dallas Cowboys-Los Angeles Chargers broadcast when it showed Jay-Z. And ESPN color analyst Troy Aikman probably surprised plenty of people by bringing up a long-forgotten meme.
Back in 2017, there was a meme that Aikman looked like the famous rapper and business mogul. It was kind of ridiculous, but whatever.

In an ultimate IYKYK moment, Aikman brought it up when the ESPN broadcast showed Jay-Z on Monday night.
"There's a meme that's going around, people think that's my doppleganger, you know?" Aikman said. "Me and Jay-Z."

Who knew that Aikman knew about that meme from so many years ago? But it did clear something up: Now that we've seen Aikman and Jay-Z in the same building, we know definitively they are not the same person.
