Video: BYU's Cosmo the Cougar unmasked after dancing like Napoleon Dynamite

We finally know who’s behind the mask of Cosmo the Cougar (at least for one video).

BYU magazine shared a video last Thursday of the famous BYU mascot dancing in a style similar to Jon Heder in “Napoleon Dynamite.”

Seriously. He’s even wearing a “Vote for Pedro” shirt.

The video came during the same week BYU magazine ran a feature story about “Napoleon Dynamite” and its creation.

At the end of the video, Cosmo rips off his mask to reveal he is BYU President Kevin J Worthen.

Watch below.

According to BYU magazine, the reveal is an annual tradition at the school that began in 1953, when BYU students would unveil who was underneath the mascot's mask.
