That sums it up. You hit the nail on the head. He was funny, didn't offend anyone I wouldn't think, and complimented his school a lot. The parents and staff had to be eating that up like free hot cinnamon buns.
It is already hard for any person to do public speaking. For a middle school student to do that during graduation in front of all those people, with political candidate impersonations and recount his middle school experiences is something else quite frankly.....
What? You only say that because SNL hasn't been funny for 35 years. Aside from that, it's always been funny. [How has Lorne Michaels kept his job? It is a mystery...]
Masterful. Pacing was excellent. Just got better and better as he got in the groove. You could really see his confidence build as he saw he was nailing it.
yes, that is the type of politics we need for the future... there is SO MUCH more to life than being in arguments all the time - the candidates we have this election term are not really representatives of the majority ....
Whether you like his act or not... you can't deny that it takes a lot of courage and confidence (especially considering his age) to stand up in front of a large audience and speak. There are many adults that struggle with this and this kid does it effortlessly. Bravo.
This is fantastic...and the beautiful thing is that he made it really funny without demeaning any of the candidates, while also showing appreciation for the teachers and principal and his experience at school.
Congratulations Jack Aiello for surviving middle school, especially with a great sense of humor. Thanks for shedding light on the current world of politics. Best wishes with your future endeavors
LOL! he was spot on with every impression 😄 I can't wait to see this kid being interviewed everywhere on TV including Late Night TV shows too. "Cinnamon Roll Revolution" best line of the whole speech 😂😂
This young man has extraordinary talent and shows the greatest respect for his school, coming through in his hilarious speech. His tongue in cheek delivery, as found in his terrific impressions was outstanding ! I laughed till I cried...GREAT JOB !
I had to watch this twice, your son Jack is sooooo good! He is a natural, and his timing is perfect. As a Canadian, I'm not as exposed to the politicians but I picked up the nuances right away. Very talented and congrats on Jack's graduation!
Terrific job. I saw this on Morning Joe and have now watched it on here repeatedly. I laugh every time. I agree with those who said funny without being mean. Simply masterful. Good luck in high school.
Congrats on breaking into the "viral video" category John! You must be a proud father! The video would get many more views if you considered changing the "unlisted" tag and making it public. Jack is going to be getting many publicity calls this summer i believe. :)
Great job! Totally awesome! :) I thought Kevin Spacey was good at impersonations, but Jack, you rule and you've only just started. You provide a bright ray of hope for the United States!
Young Jack Aiello had me laughing till I cried! He has a natural born talent to be funny with little to no effort. He reminds me of Robin Williams who I dearly loved and so miss. This young man is amazing! He left me wanting to hear more, to laugh more, and to share his laughter to with others who need a little sunshine in their lives to bring not just a smile to their faces, but a real deep down laughter that heals the soul and drives away the sorrows of the world if only for a short time! Congrats young Jack Aiello on your graduation and the great opportunities that await you in your bright future!
That was absolutely incredible. L'edMyAssOff. Wow that was good. Wiping the tears away. Good job my man. I see a sitcom or a stand up in your future. Goodness that was good.
Great job. Really shows how distinctive each person's speech pattern is. Very well done, didn't pander to one or another, all were equally funny without disparaging. A bright future for this kid, best wishes to him.
This is priceless. His classmates will always remember this. I can't wait to see if he gives his high school speech. I am a retired Middle School teacher who was in the audience of many a graduation at my school, even two after I had retired. Of all the middle school students I ever listed to, this is the most original, and most entertaining! This young man, has a great future ahead of him! I would like to share it on my Facebook and in my pinterest page with other favorite videos I have. I hope you do not mind.
I have watched this video more than once. Each time, I laugh as heartily as I did the first time. Jack, I hope you are reading these comments. You are *brilliant*! Thus far, this is the best and most innovative graduation speech by a student that I've ever heard! And Jack's parents: it looks like you are on board with Jack's talents. Please do encourage him ... who knows what great contributions may come from his talents? I do believe that making others laugh is one of the greatest services to humanity. :) Kudos all around.
This kid is a freaking legend
Yeah he made another graduation speech for 2020
Not only great impressions, but the content was hilarious. He wasn't mean at all and was able to compliment his school while being funny. Genius!
Exactly! So great!
yes- all of that you noted is true! content, delivery, all!
I so totally agree. If he keeps with this kind of humor that does not put anyone down, but still is funny ... he will become much (more) beloved.
That sums it up. You hit the nail on the head. He was funny, didn't offend anyone I wouldn't think, and complimented his school a lot. The parents and staff had to be eating that up like free hot cinnamon buns.

I didn't want this video to end...funnier than SNL skits
This kid should skip directly to SNL. He's got talent.
SNL isn't funny, but this kid is!
What? You only say that because SNL hasn't been funny for 35 years. Aside from that, it's always been funny. [How has Lorne Michaels kept his job? It is a mystery...]
Masterful. Pacing was excellent. Just got better and better as he got in the groove. You could really see his confidence build as he saw he was nailing it.
Yes!
A cinnamon roll revolution!!! Too funny. Only thing better than his impressions is his joke-writing.
That's exactly what I was thinking. And his inflections were spot on.
excellent. nailed it without being mean. at all.
EXACTLY!
yes, that is the type of politics we need for the future... there is SO MUCH more to life than being in arguments all the time - the candidates we have this election term are not really representatives of the majority ....

How did I not know Bernie Sanders was going to suggest free cinnamon rolls? Priceless!
thinking the same thing, he nailed it
HA! Great pun

yes!!
Very impressed with how he nailed the impersonations and managed to keep it on topic. Great job!
Brilliant. He's going to be a big star! Congratulations Jack!
holy crap, this kid has a future in comedy :-D
Or politics if he pays that much attention to the candidates already.
or maybe in politics? :D
nah, Politics is the art of lying, Comedy its the polar opposite... Honesty... some times too much of it.
I completely agree and hope he continues perfecting his impressions talent
Then he'll be a democrat..
The mannerisms are SPOT ON!! The kid is fantastic!
Congratulations Jack Aiello for surviving middle school, especially with a great sense of humor. Thanks for shedding light on the current world of politics. Best wishes with your future endeavors
Isn't his name jack???
Oh yes, thanks for pointing out
www.dailyherald.com/news/20200527/4-years-ago-his-graduation-speech-landed-him-on-fallon-now-hes-back-for-the-class-of-2020

He is Graduating this year - maybe he will have a new speech for the 2020 candidates.
Great job!! Enjoyed it.
www.dailyherald.com/news/20200527/4-years-ago-his-graduation-speech-landed-him-on-fallon-now-hes-back-for-the-class-of-2020
Atta boy Jack! We were lucky enough to be there, and it's just as funny as we remember.
Awww~I'm envious!
Absolutely hilarious and spot-on! Love this kid. And what kind of puppies and ice cream-haters gave it the thumbs down?!
Cinnamon rolls haters?
This young man has extraordinary talent and shows the greatest respect for his school, coming through in his hilarious speech. His tongue in cheek delivery, as found in his terrific impressions was outstanding ! I laughed till I cried...GREAT JOB !
This kid is freaking talented. That was hilarious.
Hilarious!!! This 8th grader, soon to be 9th grader, is going places! Love it!
Get this kid on Jimmy Fallon!
My thought EXACTLY!!!
Yes!!!
You mean to replace Jimmy Fallon. Fallon's humour is pebbles compared to this boys gold.
And he was! Ya!
***** He was on Jimmy Fallon?
Get this kid's name - he's going to be a big star! He could be on SNL now.
He;s funnier than SNL
This kid is gonna go far!!!! Hilarious!!
that's what I think. Hopefully Ellen will get to see him and invite him over.
I had to watch this twice, your son Jack is sooooo good! He is a natural, and his timing is perfect. As a Canadian, I'm not as exposed to the politicians but I picked up the nuances right away. Very talented and congrats on Jack's graduation!
Way to go, kid! You gave a funny, terrific speech. Everybody is saying it. Thousands upon thousands of people are saying how terrific you were.
Seriously love this and congratulations to all the students on their graduation. This kid is a winner in every way.
This kid did an incredible job, future impersonator.
New Don Rickles? /;-D
This is amazing. I still have to recover my gut from this speech. Nice job Jack! -Corey
That kid's a genius! I hope he keeps it up.
absolutely incredible! I'm sure this kid made a lot of people smile during a very tough week. He's got a bright future!!
Awesome stuff! Great job! Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon needs to have you on.

Great to see someone so young involved in politics at any level. I laughed the whole way through.
Incredible! He is a special young man.
Why isn't he on SNL already?
They could definitely use him.

Terrific job. I saw this on Morning Joe and have now watched it on here repeatedly. I laugh every time. I agree with those who said funny without being mean. Simply masterful. Good luck in high school.
This kid is brilliant. And who are the idiots who gave this video a thumbs down??
The 7th graders.
probably Trump supporters
probably losers and kids his own age who are envious.
I agree!
Renee Snellen
That's just LAME.
Congrats on breaking into the "viral video" category John! You must be a proud father!
The video would get many more views if you considered changing the "unlisted" tag and making it public. Jack is going to be getting many publicity calls this summer i believe. :)
I have not laughed this hard in way too long. Thanks, kid! Can't wait to see your stand up show when you're all grown up.
John, you need to run for office! I LOVED your speech! You are amazing! :D
Very awesome job! And Dad - seriously - stop filming vertically!!!
Why can't he be president? I loved this speech so much, good luck in high school Jack! ~Lucas
That was one of the funniest things I've seen in weeks. There is hope.
You should list this video! Dude is epic!
I had to listen to 'Bernie' twice it was so good. Hilarious work man, and keep cultivating your gift!
That was awesome. Spot on mannerisms and phrases from each of them. Keep doing you kid.
That was awesome! You've got a natural born talent! Frank Caliendo.. Look out for the NEW fresh face of impressions!
If one good thing came out of this insane election cycle, its this video. Thanks for sharing.
From an 8th grader! Amazing! I'm looking forward to his career in comedy! Well done young man! Well done!
So talented!
Thank you we needed this week after this past weekend. He can be my President anytime.
Best. Graduation Speech. Ever! This young man has an incredible future ahead of him!
This is currently the GREATEST thing on the internet!
This kid showed that you can be really funny without being mean spirited or vulgar. Great job!
yup!
www.dailyherald.com/news/20200527/4-years-ago-his-graduation-speech-landed-him-on-fallon-now-hes-back-for-the-class-of-2020
Had to come look this up after seeing it on Morning Joe. Just awesome!
Thanks for sharing. In a week of so much sadness and pain, it was nice to have a real genuine belly laugh. Laughter truly is the best medicine.
Just graduated high school a week ago...I wish our speech was this good, omg job well done. hahah
I must have watched this 10x and shared it with everyone I know. What an inspiring, talented 14 year old. He's destined for great things.
How is this kid not getting TV offers? Lol I hope this get's positive national attention! This is GOLD!
www.dailyherald.com/news/20200527/4-years-ago-his-graduation-speech-landed-him-on-fallon-now-hes-back-for-the-class-of-2020
Awesome. Probably over the heads of his fellow 8th grade grads. But the teachers and parents loved it. Congrats, young man! Excellent.

WAY better than any SNL impersonations!
Great job! Totally awesome! :) I thought Kevin Spacey was good at impersonations, but Jack, you rule and you've only just started. You provide a bright ray of hope for the United States!

An absolutely wonderful speech. Every impersonation was spot on. Thank you for posting!
that was amazing. LOVE IT. He will be HUGE!
This is awesome! I didn't want it to end.
I watched this many times; brought tears to my eyes. And the Standing Ovation was never more deserved.
Stay safe Jack, and go far.
If you set this video to public, it will go viral!

Absolutely hysterical speech and so original! Outstanding job on each and every impersonation!
Lorne, are you watching!? Here's your next cast member in 10 years.

Kid you're so talented!!! Those impersonations were spot on and WOW how do you have so much knowledge on the election as only an 8th grader?!? Lol.
Great job. Really shows how distinctive each person's speech pattern is. Very well done, didn't pander to one or another, all were equally funny without disparaging.
A bright future for this kid, best wishes to him.

That was outstanding and spot on. And the courage and confidence to do that at age 14. Your son is going places, sir.
Jack that was awesome brotha! Have a great time in high school and keep up those skills and that confidence!
Brilliant!!! John Aiello, you have amazing talent - thanks for sharing with us all :-)
This is amazing! Wonderful job Jack! Just love this! This just made my day!!
What a great job young man! Thank you for the tactful and respectful way you gave us a laugh. Keep up the great work...
Your video has now reached the UK and is going viral here too. This isn't even our election and I recognised those impressions, amazing work!
