Glenn Howerton Flaunts Dennis Reynolds’ Impressive CCH Pounder Impression on Instagram
Dennis Reynolds may be famed for his sociopathic tendencies, his eponymous seduction system and his self-proclaimed “Golden God” status, but It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s resident five-star man has another claim to fame: a shockingly accurate impression of legendary actress CCH Pounder.
Over the weekend, FXX paid tribute to actor Glenn Howerton’s rendition of The Shield star in Season 12’s “The Gang Goes to Hell: Part 2,” highlighting the pair’s unlikely auditory resemblance with a hilariously subtle edit. “Next up, CCH Pounder sings Dayman,” they captioned the clip, which switches the audio from Pounder and Howerton’s respective performances.

Even with its label of “Dennis/CH Pounder impression audio swap,” several fans were taken aback by just how seamlessly Pounder and Howerton’s vocals blended together. “It’s funny bc they switch the audio and you can just barely tell,” marveled one fan, while another shared the subtle vocal tick that gave away the audio switch. “I can only tell because of the elongated ‘A’ sound Dennis does,” they wrote.
Despite this resounding praise — and a re-post to Howerton’s Instagram Story — Pounder hasn’t always been sold on her inadvertent Always Sunny cameo. A few years back, the actress got candid about her role in the show’s 2016 finale, confirming that while she’d seen Always Sunny’s homage to her FX character, Howerton’s performance hadn’t necessarily earned her official stamp of approval.

“‘Hmmmm,’ my answer,” she told TV Insider when asked about the now-iconic moment.
As FXX implied in their caption, however, we wish Pounder would someday get even, a revenge plot we only hope involves a silver spandex bodysuit and some serious jazz hands.
