Hi! I'm Jaime Grimm, and it's really great to be back in front of an audience again.
A little while back, I won a couple of contests and was crowned the funniest kid in all of new York. Not just new York city, but the whole state!
Now I have a shot at being the planets funniest kid comic.
"The planet earth?" Asks Phineas of-- you guessed it-- Phineas and Ferb. "Or mars? We built a portal to mars for the science fair once."
"Fun never falls too far from the tree house," adds Ferb.
Yep! Phineas and Ferb, the two hysterical stars from the Disney channel, are now my close personal friends. They even go to school with me. Derek Jeter, the shortstop from the new York Yankees, he shows up at long beach middle school because he wants me to autograph a baseball for him.
Taylor Swift comes to town to ask me to be the opening act at her upcoming concerts. "Jaime Grimm, i hear you're the planets funniest kid comic!"
"Not exactly," i tell her. "First I have to win a regional competition in Boston. And then there are the semifinals in las vegas. And the final finals in Hollywood..."
"he's going to be a very busy boy," says Howie Mandel, one of the judges from America's got talent. He's come to long Beach go help me train for the comedy competition. "Jaime needs new material. New jokes. A new hairdo. You like mine?"
Of course my best buds--Jimmy peirce, Joey Gaynor, and Gilda gold--are with me, too. We are on our way to school, where the principal has declared that today Is Jaime Grimm day.
"They're gonna give you your very own pep rally, dude," says Gaynor.
So after the cheerleaders do a "jay-mee Grimm" cheer, our school principal, Dr Heinz doofenshmirtz, or doof as he likes to call himself, starts to make a little speech.
"Wait a second" says Phineas. "Your principal is our evil scientist?"
I shrug. "I guess he likes the cafeteria food."
Dr. Doofenshmirtz goes on with the quick speech. "Today, Jaime, we gather here to wish you luck as you prepare to take the second, third, and fourth steps toward your goal of being the planet's funniest kid comic! Break a leg, Jaime. "Whoopsie!"
When principal doof says that, I know this has to be a dream.
Because, you know, all those steps he mentioned? I'd be happy just taking one.
