View submission: April Fools Megathread 2022

Answer: I think it's impossible to know for sure, but if I were a betting man I'd put my money on this one being genuine because it's being reported by multiple sources which, by by my reckoning, means either:

1. It's real.

2. The media has colluded on the April Fool.

3. Carrey has successfully fooled multiple media outlets.

Option 1 feels like the most likely to me.

Edit: No reveal yet, but of course there are quite a few hours of the day left. However, I now notice that all the articles are citing the same Access Hollywood interview, which was *recorded* earlier in the week and *released* today. Still not a definitive answer but it makes me even more sure that option 1 is most likely.

Option 3 would seem likely to me. Media sources are so quick to post major news they don't stop to fact check or, I don't know, look at A calendar. They've been April fooled before.

I guess that explains the Sonic 2 post-credits scene, they had to be ready if Robotnik is suddenly gone for good.
