It’s difficult to know what will come next as he surprises viewers with exciting, funny skits that literally shows how he’s making it up as he goes through life.
5. John Vento – “I Hope I Don’t Fall In Love With You”
The scenes gave a beautiful complement to the lyrics where he hopes he doesn’t fall in love with the woman sitting nearby.
