About Me

The Times-Picayune (New Orleans)-----------------Comic relief-----------------------Secretary of State Jay Dardenne's son, John, played a cameo role in last week's Democratic presidential debate. The younger Dardenne, an aspiring comedian, was one of thousands of Americans who submitted questions for the candidates via YouTube, the popular do-it-yourself video Web site. His clip features him shirtless, looking into the camera and asking a question of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton: "Given the precedent sent by previous Clinton administrations, I was wondering: Can I be your intern?" Although the clip wasn't among the ones chosen for the debate, CNN's producers apparently found it funny enough to include in a segment about questions that didn't make the cut. And it also brought a smile from the elder Dardenne. "I'm a proud papa," Jay Dardenne said of his son, who graduated this year from the University of Southern California. "He is an aspiring comedian in LA, and obviously when you're a comedian you try to do things that are going to get folks' attention and be funny, and this was his stab at it."Here are a few of my questions for the CNN/YouTube Debate!!!Featured 1 Weirdest Video on Time.com and featured on CNN, The New York Sun, The Telegraph UK, L.A. Times, WAFB (Baton Rouge), and the Albuquerque Sun Times.AS SEEN ON CNNFeatured on NPR!!!
