I'm glad i stayed up to watch that.

Henry really did do a great job considering his background as an amatuer athlete....as was noted earlier in the thread. Caught a bit of Shawn Johnson's Letterman appearance the other day and she was a bit stiff in her responses, but given her age and the scope of that show it is understandable.

Henry's jokes went over well (except the mattress factory one kinda bombed a bit) and his presence seemed very comfortable. Heck, he was jumping on the U-S-A chants during the entrance. His mom coming out was cool, though it seemed kinda staged....not sure if that was the case though. During the outro, the sight of her holding up the gold medal draped around her neck while the guys in the band were trying to shake her hand had me rolling! "Here is my sons Gold Medal! What's that?? Oh, nice to meet you. Have you seen my sons gold medal?!"

Good for her and for the whole Cejudo family. Cool story and good publicity for the sport.

That was pretty funny.
