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.....
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.
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...]
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.
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 😂😂
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
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. :)
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!
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!
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've watched this twice already today - as a middle school social studies teacher who talked about the election every week with my students this was just too funny! You nailed the impersonations. Best wishes and have a great summer!
This is called charisma. Most of the speeches are boring and the crowd just wait for them to finish. You need to have charisma to keep an audience's full attention from the beginning to end.. Congratulations to this kid.
I laughed so hard at this incredibly hilarious young man...he is very intelligent to be able to pick up on the tones and voices of so many candidates..He should go on to be a comedian!
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.

This kid is a freaking legend
Yeah he made another graduation speech for 2020
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.....
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!
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...]
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
www.dailyherald.com/news/20200527/4-years-ago-his-graduation-speech-landed-him-on-fallon-now-hes-back-for-the-class-of-2020
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..
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.
yes!!
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 😂😂
Very impressed with how he nailed the impersonations and managed to keep it on topic. Great job!
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
The mannerisms are SPOT ON!! The kid is fantastic!
Brilliant. He's going to be a big star! Congratulations Jack!
Atta boy Jack! We were lucky enough to be there, and it's just as funny as we remember.
Awww~I'm envious!
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 !
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?
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
This kid is freaking talented. That was hilarious.
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
Hilarious!!! This 8th grader, soon to be 9th grader, is going places! Love it!
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!
absolutely incredible! I'm sure this kid made a lot of people smile during a very tough week. He's got a bright future!!
Seriously love this and congratulations to all the students on their graduation. This kid is a winner in every way.
Why isn't he on SNL already?
They could definitely use him.
www.dailyherald.com/news/20200527/4-years-ago-his-graduation-speech-landed-him-on-fallon-now-hes-back-for-the-class-of-2020
This kid is gonna go far!!!! Hilarious!!
that's what I think. Hopefully Ellen will get to see him and invite him over.
Incredible! He is a special young man.
That kid's a genius! I hope he keeps it up.
That was awesome! You've got a natural born talent! Frank Caliendo.. Look out for the NEW fresh face of impressions!
This is amazing. I still have to recover my gut from this speech. Nice job Jack! -Corey
This kid did an incredible job, future impersonator.
New Don Rickles? /;-D
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.
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.
Great to see someone so young involved in politics at any level. I laughed the whole way through.
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.
Awesome stuff! Great job! Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon needs to have you on.

Congrats on breaking into the "viral video" category John! You must be a proud father!

John, you need to run for office! I LOVED your speech! You are amazing! :D
From an 8th grader! Amazing! I'm looking forward to his career in comedy! Well done young man! Well done!
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.
More perfect than I could've imagined.. comedy has a future!
www.dailyherald.com/news/20200527/4-years-ago-his-graduation-speech-landed-him-on-fallon-now-hes-back-for-the-class-of-2020
That was awesome. Spot on mannerisms and phrases from each of them. Keep doing you kid.
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.
I had to listen to 'Bernie' twice it was so good. Hilarious work man, and keep cultivating your gift!
Just graduated high school a week ago...I wish our speech was this good, omg job well done. hahah
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

Best. Graduation Speech. Ever! This young man has an incredible future ahead of him!

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!
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.
Thank you we needed this week after this past weekend. He can be my President anytime.
If one good thing came out of this insane election cycle, its this video. Thanks for sharing.
That was sooooo perfect! Great job capturing the speech! Though horizontal next time maybe??? o.O
Awesome. Probably over the heads of his fellow 8th grade grads. But the teachers and parents loved it. Congrats, young man! Excellent.
Jack Aiello, can't wait to see the places you'll go. Congratulations!
Absolutely Wonderful. This kid has a amazing foundation to go pretty far in any direction he chooses to go. Keep it up!
Lorne, are you watching!? Here's your next cast member in 10 years.
He should be on SNL now...the kid is that good!
"Here's your next cast member in 10 years."
No. NOW!!

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.
this was one of the best impersonations i've ever seen lol
That was outstanding and spot on. And the courage and confidence to do that at age 14. Your son is going places, sir.
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.

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 now seeing this...2020. Your son did an amazing job...
www.dailyherald.com/news/20200527/4-years-ago-his-graduation-speech-landed-him-on-fallon-now-hes-back-for-the-class-of-2020
WOW!!! So impressive! Laughed the entire time, the highlight of my day. Excellent job, Jack!
This is priceless. His classmates will always remember this. I can't wait to see if he gives his high school speech.

Good heavens. Will someone please notify when this young man has his own tv show. He's kinda brilliant.

This is awesome! I didn't want it to end.
I am so impressed with this young man's talent & creativity, plus composure! Thanks for making my day!
Gutsy, well-spoken, and destined to go far in life.
He made the ceremony a blast. They tend to drag on so good for him for keeping everyone engaged in a positive way.
An absolutely wonderful speech. Every impersonation was spot on. Thank you for posting!
Totally awesome! Congratulations to this wonderful young man and to the entire graduating class and school staff. What a fantastic young man.
Great impressions, content and delivery - He was great!

I loved teaching middle school. Such a great age and character. Great fun and good masterful public speaking.
www.dailyherald.com/news/20200527/4-years-ago-his-graduation-speech-landed-him-on-fallon-now-hes-back-for-the-class-of-2020
So talented!
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!
This is called charisma. Most of the speeches are boring and the crowd just wait for them to finish. You need to have charisma to keep an audience's full attention from the beginning to end.. Congratulations to this kid.
Hands down the best speech I may have ever heard! I hope you're able to use this to go far in life and make comedy great again! 😂
Comic genius~ He has a great future in that~
that was amazing. LOVE IT. He will be HUGE!
Absolutely hysterical speech and so original! Outstanding job on each and every impersonation!
I laughed so hard at this incredibly hilarious young man...he is very intelligent to be able to pick up on the tones and voices of so many candidates..He should go on to be a comedian!
