Someone farted in the greenroom before the Whirled News Tonight show. No one had any matches, but Jordan found a sparkler and lit it in hopes of clearing the air a bit.
Jordan: Come on, guys, it's a sparkler! Don't be so nervous. Little kids use these on the fourth of July.
[Jordan had just gotten back from a month working on a cruise ship as an improviser. "How was it?" I asked him. "Was it weird? Was it fun?"
"It was both," he said. "I spent Christmas with magicians, jugglers and a guy who climbs a ladder and tells jokes. Not even jokes, just references. He'd climb to the top of a ladder, balance up there and yell, 'Aflac!' That was his whole show. Huge laughs."]
