Actor Jim Carrey shared a story about his dogs while appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday. Host David Letterman quickly responded with a clip of actor Tom Hanks sharing the same story on the Late Show two years earlier, Monsters and Critics reports.

Carrey was on the late night talk show to promote the recently released film Mr. Popper's Penguins, in which he stars as Mr. Popper. He eats up the screen with his aw-shucks grin, takes a soccer ball to the groin, and utters what might be his hammiest catchphrase to date, 'Yeahbsolutely!,' The Atlantic reports on Carrey's performance.
