In a rather interesting twist, comedian Jalango got a chance to meet former US President Barrack Obama this week and it all started from a joke.
The comedian, who we all know jokes around a lot, explained how he landed the lucrative opportunity to MC for one of the most powerful men in the world while in he was in Kogelo recently.
“One morning on Hot 96, the news of Obama coming to town was all over so I told Jeff you know that when Obama comes to town I will be the MC as a joke. And I went on Youtube and told people about how I will do it, ” said Jalas in an interview on Citizen TV.

He went on to add that a team from Gina Din who were part of the organisers watched the video and called him asking him to show up for the job.
“Then the team from Gina Din watched the video and they called me. Lorna Irungu told me that ‘do you know some dreams come true. Guess who the MC for Obama is?’ Jalango said he was not aware. You are the MC. You just don’t wake up and be the MC for Obama. It is a long process. We had at least six meeting and plus a rehearsal. My phone for the past I don’t know how many days I could not just talk to you,” Jalas said.
