Thanko De Mayo

I don’t do this for the awards and accolades. It’s not about the ego stroke or the gut feeling that you think more of me than you do yourself. It’s not about that.
But occasionally some award comes along that makes me stop and take notice.

So I would personally like to thank YOU. I don’t know who YOU are, but YOU know who you are. And on the off chance that you have no idea who YOU really are, maybe this could be YOU?

Without people like YOU, I would not be here today, proudly claiming my honor as the 4th Most Perfect Comic for the 95.5 FM KLOS Cinco de Mayo Five O'Clock Funnies on air poll.

YOU took the time to sing my praises. YOU made the effort. YOU overlooked my 50% less than Hispanic side and said, “No me importa”.

The results:

George Lopez 25 votes
Paul Rodriguez 15
Gabriel Iglesias 15
James P. Connolly 1- (That would be YOU!)

So thank YOU! Not to be pushy, but maybe next time you could call in with a friend.

Muchas Gracias…

Don Diego de la Connolly
