Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney? It's an age-old question, and one that somehow gets no less perplexing as time rolls on.

Nevertheless, guest-host Jamie Foxx made an attempt at sorting through the confusion on last night's "SNL" (recap), with regular cast members Jay Pharoah and Kenan Thompson puzzling through with him.

So how did they fare? And which of the two perennially-confused actors showed up to take part? As to the latter question, I'm still not quite sure...and oddly enough, he isn't either.

Watch the full clip below to see if you can figure it out.

    "Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney" is nothing compared to "Chris Meloni or Elias Koteas". Now that's a challenging game.

      Intellectual Ninja That is true... it's almost impossible to tell the difference...

      ... but those two lack the fun alliteration of the Dylan McDermot & Dermot Mulroney.

      I think that's what gets us. ;-)

    Hmm, something smells familiar. Lifted? Inspired by? Coincidence? ... http://placeitonluckydan.com/2011/02/dylan-mcdermott-dermot-mulroney-agree-to-be-same-person/
