Danny McBride Addresses Impostor Twitter Feed, Compares Kenny Powers to Elvis

Sad news for the roughly 115,000 loyal followers of the hilarious Twitter feed written from the perspective of HBO's #1 washed-up major leaguer Kenny Powers: The network is in no way associated with @KF*CKINGP, and for the first time, Danny McBride has addressed the convincing impostor (last tweet: "I never had a rookie card because I was never considered a f*cking rookie") who is ripping off his Eastbound & Down character.

McBride sent Vulture an e-mail to clear up the Twitter ID issues once and for all:

"Kenny Powers is a full-grown man, so he would never Twitter. But Kenny is also a man of the people. He doesn't care if the public feels the need to impersonate him. That just puts him up there with the big dogs like Santa and Elvis. Knowing that it's a very funny committed fan makes us proud."

After further investigation, Vulture concluded that the author of Twitter's KF*CKINGP is a "twentysomething from New York City with aspirations in comedy writing" who is now advertising his ghost-tweeting services:

"Please, anyone at Gary Sanchez Productions, Funny or Die, or even the freakin' Paul Reiser Show, if you've liked what you've seen and want to bring me on in any damn capacity, reach out to me at ILikeToParty@me.com and let's chat."

Now that's how you make a career out of your Twitter ID-theft, @JonahHill_Jew.
