I wanted to share this really really cool moment I had at one the tapings when I was doing warm up.

I usually have some t-shirts and a dvd set that I give away at the tapings. And usually, I make people work for it. They tell jokes, they sing, some people dance. It's crazy...one of the best tapings we had was a couple of weeks ago. These two guys, Derrick and Adolf, ended up having a dance-off and it was so much fun. The audience went nuts for these two. It's always a good time.

This one time that I want to talk about features a guy from the audience named Agustin. He has come to a number of our tapings with his friend Mario. At the last taping, when I asked if anyone wanted to do something to get a chance to win the DVD, he raised his hand and said he'd sing for it. Everyone in the audience gets excited. So I ask him what he's going to sing and he tells me that he's singing the theme song to the Golden Girls...to me.

On my myspace page, I have a picture where I put my face on Sophia's body from the show, I LOVE THAT SHOW. "Auggie" said he had memorized the lines to the song in order to sing it to me. I was very touched by it. It's such a cool thing for ANYONE to go to that kind of effort, especially for me.

I'm including a pic of that moment that my friend Randy Shropshire took at the taping. When I saw this pic, I knew I had to talk about it because it's really special to me. It shows how at these tapings, I try to not only entertain the audiences. Really, if you come to a number of tapings, we start getting to know each other pretty well. There are people that I really feel become friends. And not only at the tapings but at live shows...when I open up for Mencia. There are people that I keep in touch with after "meeting" them through myspace.

Anyhoo, his song was awesome and in the end...he won the DVD. And not because I gave it to him, the audience voted and picked him as the best of the night. Which is awesome. So to Auggie I must say, "THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND!"
