These past few months, Keke Palmer has become queen of the meme. With her expressive face and hilarious timing, the Hustlers actress has created an empire of video clips. It began in September when she did an interview with Vanity Fair and claimed she did not recognize a photo of Dick Cheney.
“I hate to say it. I hope I don’t sound ridiculous. I don’t know who this man is,” Palmer said. “I mean, he could be walking down the street, and I wouldn’t know a thing.”
Keke Palmer then spoke the magic words, “Sorry to this man,” and created a new way to completely dismiss someone you don’t like or don’t think is important.
A few weeks later on the morning talk show Palmer co-hosts with Michael Strahan and Sara Haines, Palmer again made meme gold. After being asked who wrote and directed Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club, Palmer almost exploded with enthusiasm.

“I know this man! I love him” shouted Palmer. “I know him, y’all! I know him. I know this man!”

And on October 14th, when Bachelorette participant Mike Johnson made things awkward and unprofessional by trying to ask her on a date on Strahan, Sara & Keke, Palmer’s wide-eyed look of shock and horror instantly became iconic.
“I’m at work!” she said.
Later, when she was asked if she would consider going on a date with Johnson, Palmer said no.

“First of all, I get real spooked about entertainers or reality [stars]. I don’t know, it really scares me to date people in the industry. That’s number one. Number two: He asked me in front of everybody. I felt totally like, ambushed…I felt ambushed. I felt like it was a big ol’ gag.”
Keke Palmer's reaction to the popularity of her SORRY TO THIS MAN meme is equally great: "After finding out who he is, I'm glad I didn't know." pic.twitter.com/ZAoRysQoZK
