“If I knew that was going to be part of the show I definitely wouldn't have done it. On behalf of my country I know it was done humorously, but we’ve spent so much time trying to not make black people look like buffoons that when we see something like that we take it really to heart."

My wife is now my mother’s mother
And it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
She’s my grandmother, too.If my wife is my grandmother,
Then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it,
It simply drives me wild.For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa!
