- DonHopkins 4y agoI love Jesse Jackson's eloquent preacher's Black sermonic tradition! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1mqg4C0awA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1mqg4C0awA >Green Eggs and Ham narrated by the Reverand Jesse Jackson >What was great about this skit was that absolutely nobody in that studio even knew Jesse Jackson was there outside of Kevin Nealon who anchored Weekend Update and Lorne Michaels. It was a great surprise to everyone and completely unscripted. Jesse just absolutely nailed that reading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_sermonic_tradition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_sermonic_tradition
- QuercusMax 4y agoAmusingly enough, Schwarzenegger's Austrian accent is the German version of a hillbilly accent or something, so in German dubs of his movies, they use a different voice actor. I'm told Germans think watching his movies in English is weird because his voice is "wrong".

- Maultasche 4y agoWhen I lived in Germany, I saw a video clip of Arnold speaking German. To my great surprise, he had the same accent when speaking German that he does when speaking English. He apparently speaks a regional dialect from the part of Austria he comes from, and it really affects how he sounds.
