The Dan Le Batard Show · Hour 2: Jessica's Weekend Observations (feat. Kenan Thompson) · 31 Mar 2025 podcast

No, I just think y'all are dedicated. That's all. Y'all dedicated to the A. I'm dedicated to the A being from Atlanta, so I feel you.

I got a question.

Peace up.

Man, that's tough. Black Jeopardy? That's tough, yeah. I'm really bad at favorites. Okay. I'm going to go just claim that right up top. What's your least favorite? Least favorite is any one of them that got cut because that does not feel good. Yeah. But there's a lot of good ones, man.

It's hard to put what's up with that over Black Jeopardy, over Scared Straight, over Superdude, over Principal Pimpel. You know what I mean? It's just like I have... you know, affinities for all of them, you know what I mean? Because, you know, you're putting yourself out there, you know what I'm saying? And like, you want people to receive it well.

So if it goes well, it's like, I'm going to leave it there. I don't necessarily need to pick favorites. So many classes.

I mean, I had one, but we definitely got our get back and it actually went into the show. So that was good. It was this sketch called Active Jack, where it was like a

pbs kind of show in the 70s about a guy that was like getting kids excited about working out and it was like a long theme song basically and i think the first time was bruno mars so he was like come on kids let's get active about doing push-ups or whatever and then it was like the 50-year anniversary of that show so they were doing like a reboot or something so then it was me as the active jack dude singing a song a lot more tired and less enthusiastic

But it got cut. And then years later, Kevin Hart came and it made it on the show. So I got that.

It is like I'm laughing right now. Yeah, that was great.

What is the worst part of the life? Of what life of my life?

What's part of the life? Gerd? Life of being a famous person or the life of having Gerd? I think they all apply. Yeah, they all apply. The worst part, I don't know. It's hard to say. That makes you feel sad because you're actually pinpointing what the worst part of it is. But yeah, I don't know. I'm thankful for it all, honestly, because if it's something difficult, then it's a lesson.

You know what I mean? And if it's something great, then it's a blessing. So I don't know. I'm just taking it all in stride as it comes. I'm just happy to be alive, man. So many people aren't. Like, if you read the news, it's almost like every single day we losing a legend. You know? So.

I'm just glad to be here, dawg.

Not necessarily confront me because they can't find me. They can't see me out here like that. Okay, that's smart. But I've definitely heard from people. You know, Steve Harvey called me in the beginning, and he was like, hey, slow that down.

I think Star Jones was mad about it back in the day, you know. And I understand it, you know, because when I was younger, I was definitely a little more dismissive of how people might take my impressions of them. Just thinking that, you know, I'm just a kid. I'm just doing impressions, whatever. It's no big deal. But I've I've grown to understand what would upset people about being impersonated.

You know, so I try to do it in a much more positive version, even if I am poking fun at them.

I don't think so. I think they just loved it because it was so silly. You know what I mean? It's just a guy in his bathtub speaking fake French. That's all.

Yeah, I'm sure there's several things that haven't aged well, you know what I mean? But in the moment, it is what it is. Part of the game. I don't personally go out in malice. I usually go out in fun, basically. So in that fun, I feel like if we step on a toe, it's more so accidental than anything.

Thank you. Shout out to Kendrick, man. He's such a good dude. And yeah, he's been very supportive of the impression, you know, the whole time. So it's just fun to have those people that have those audible things. So when I start doing it, you know, people know who it is right away. It was just a lot of fun.
