But I know that last time I was here, I was explaining that when I was a kid back in 1993, I was in first grade and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had made its debut.

And Walter Emanuel Jones played Zack, the Black Ranger.

I actually just met Mr. Jones at Comic-Con last month.

So that was pretty exciting.

This dude right here, I'll tell you right now, looks fantastic.

Walter Jones, the black one, he looks also fantastic, okay? He's the only one that keeps in touch with the other one, okay? With the Asian one.

He also has some sort of autoimmune disease.
