Keke Palmer is asked to slip her classic line 'sorry to this man' into other roles: 'It's a very unique experience'

Sorry, to this line but Keke Palmer won't be incorporating "sorry to this man" into her movie roles.

"It's so strange. I never would've expected that to become this viral thing," Palmer told Seth Meyers during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. "People absolutely ask me, 'sorry to this man?'"

Though the One of Them Days star has been acting in movies and TV shows for more than 20 years, but the performance she gets asked about more than any other is the 2019 Vanity Fair Lie Detector interview in which she's asked to identify a photo of former vice president Dick Cheney, and could not. "I hate to say it, I hope I don't sound ridiculous" Palmer told Vanity Fair, "but I don't know who this man is. He could be walking down the street, I wouldn't know a thing. Sorry to this man."

Palmer notes she's been asked to incorporate "sorry to this man" into other roles since. But, as funny as that clip is, she doesn't feel the need to say the same phrase again if it doesn't apply to the scene she's filming.

"I've done commercials or movies and they're like, do you think there's a way you could fit in 'sorry to this man?'" Palmer said. "I'm like, 'there's no man to say sorry to!' It's a very unique experience."

Despite her many roles in memorable movies like Hustlers and Akeelah and the Bee, Palmer told Seth Meyers on Thursday that she gets recognized for "sorry to this man" as much as any of them.

Though Meyers acknowledged that Palmer's apology to Cheney came from a place of politeness, he also said he would be absolutely devastated if he was the subject.

"It is so endearing watching you say it in the most polite way," Meyers said. "But I do think, if anybody ever said it about me, I would go jump off a building."

To our knowledge, Cheney has never responded to the Palmer clip, and he's never jumped off a building, instead, the moment lives on as a meme.
