Wayne Gretzky not so recognizable to Canadian comedian Seth Rogen

If you saw Wayne Gretzky on the street or at a party, would you be able to recognize him? Comedian Seth Rogen seems pretty un-Canadian when he identifies the Great One as "the ice wine guy" in a promotional video for Rogen's new movie.

Comedian Seth Rogen seems pretty un-Canadian when he identifies the Great One as "the ice wine guy" in a new commercial.

In a promotional spot for Rogen's upcoming movie The Night Before, the actor pays a visit to an ESPN holiday party and meets Gretzky's wife, Janet Gretzky, who he recognizes. But he's oblivious to her much more famous husband, as well as NFL star Clay Matthews.

Gretzky also got into the fun by calling out Rogen on Twitter:

Rogen took to Twitter for a fan Q&A and let everyone know that he does in fact know who Gretzky is.
