We all need some joy in our lives especially in today’s atmosphere. Enter Dallen Johnston, a 15-year-old high school drummer from Gilbert, Arizona who got the internet behind him with a video showing him really feeling all the emotions while performing at a football game.
Jimmy Kimmel Live took notice and booked Dallen on the show. The teenager appeared on the show clad in his band uniform and got to sit in with Kimmel’s band Cleto and Cletones. Kimmel asks him, “Are you aware of the fact that you’re the only good thing in America right now?” to which Dallen smartly replies, “I think your show’s pretty good, too.”
