Jack Black Delivers Viral Speech at President Biden’s Star-Studded Fundraiser in “Kick A** American Flag Overalls”

The veteran comedy star appeared on the same stage as President Biden, Barack Obama, George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Jimmy Kimmel in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

Even with all that talent on the same stage, Jack Black, whom Kimmel credited for his longtime leading voice role as Kung Fu Panda, received a lion’s share of attention thanks to enthusiastic comments and a colorful ensemble. During the clip, Black jokes that he turned down offers to appear at everything from a bat mitzvah to a Jack in the Box opening in Oxnard to help stump for the president alongside Clooney and Roberts. Look at all the other events that are happening tonight that you already turned down: Emcee at the Fliegelman bat mitzvah, the opening of the new Jack in the Box in Oxnard, judge at the second annual Imperial Valley Avocado Festival.’ You don’t see that on Meryl Streep’s resume.
