Darrell Hammond

September 4, 2002

If you’re a vegetarian, you should probably just stay the f*** out of McDonald’s.

Darrell Hammond rules; he did some stand-up at MCA tonight. It was the first time I’ve been to a stand-up comedian. Being the loyal SNL viewer I am, I recognized a couple of routines he did from the show, but there was a lot of variety. He played around with some Jesse Jackson then did some Sean Connery upon request and, of course, Bill Clinton. We even got to hear a few details about the behind-the-scenes at SNL (like how the Connery impression started). John Fugelsang (the host of the next-gen America’s ‘Most Rehearsed’ Home Videos) also was there, and between the two there was a good two hours of comedy. I really liked it, and it really cheered me up after a hectic day.

Now I’m really, really tired from laughing that loud. I’m so glad I got to see one of the people who I’ve always respected and found funny on TV. It was great I could see him right here at UMaine.
