Let's talk about a reason the election of Barack Obama is historic for a very small community of people: improvisers.
Did you know that Obama has held fundraisers at The Second City in the past? I'm guessing he saw a show as well when he was there. This is exciting. People pay a lot of attention to the President, what he likes and dislikes, what he says. If Obama mentions improv, even more or less in passing, a lot of people will hear about it (whether they're watching CNN or reading a newspaper article about him visiting his hometown and catching a show). It's exciting to think that in some small way, improv may get a shoutout during the next 4 or 8 years from the leader of the free world.
Am I crazy? Do people agree with me?
