There was a scene in the Phillip K. Dick novel A Scanner Darkly where the protagonist's friends are having a druggie conversation in a drug house about how "there was some guy who went on TV claiming to be an imposter who had impersonated all sorts of people and then it turned out he was only impersonating an imposter"
The funny bit about it is that the story still holds up to some extent if it’s a lie since the whole thing is about a liar making folks think he’s more credentialed than he really is.
