I went to USC. I do stand up at the Comedy Store, and I study improv with the Upright Citizens Brigade. I'm an alum of USC's Second Nature Improv. I've been published in The Trojan Horse and The Bearly Published.

I doubted you, America.  

I anticipated racism and voter fraud.

I feared the Bradley Effect and the Muslim Smear.

I worried you couldn't think for yourself.  I worried you couldn't see promise and hope.  

I doubted you, America.

But not anymore.  Now, I remember why I love you, America.

I'll admit I had my doubts. Even when the polls soared and the crowds grew.  Even when I saw the inspiration in all of our eyes, I fantasized a backwards-America stepping into the polls and voting against a good man.  

But my nightmare was just that-- a dream.  An illusion.

Because November 4th taught us all that we have overcome.

Not in every way and certainly not with every person, but Americans have undoubtedly evolved positively from our selfish and unequal roots.

I doubted you, America, and you proved me wrong.

Thank you.
