They say laughter is the best medicine, and Daniel Jean became our cure during the Lockdown of 2020. One of his funniest comedy skits to come out of the Panademic was filmed last March by Daniel Jean and features fellow comedic influencer Daniel DK. The comedy sketch was filmed during a time when COVID was an all- time high and when we were all bored in the house and in the house bored. The viral sketch called “What would you do if I had Corona?” features Daniel Jean with the help of Darius DK across the city where the 6 foot 1 Jean interviews random people on the street in close proximity, asking them their thoughts and opinion on the disease.
While interviewing unsuspecting pedestrians, Jean interviewed people who expressed that the were annoyed over new mask mandates, some people said they wouldn’t let the virus stop them from living life, others were non- believers, and some even used the Pandemic as an opportunity to sell masks and gloves as a side hustle. The subjects he interviewed believed that Jean was a local reporter looking to talk to other New Yorkers who were living through the dreaded Pandemic House Arrest. With his mini mic in hand, Funny Man Jean never broke character during the interview phase and spent most of his time listening to sometimes Naïve, sometimes frustrated New Yorkers in need of venting. The 6 foot 1, otherwise healthy Daniel, would jump in to say “What would you do if I had Corona?”. The comment brought on many different but hysterical reactions. All of his subjects were shocked to hear the news , some broke out in laughter realizing they were part of a joke, some people were angry he stood so close but wouldn’t confront the comedian built like an NFL but the best reactions came from conspiracy theorists who didn’t believe in the disease, as Daniel Jean left them speechless.
In the end, all of Daniels interview subjects could be seen smiling and laughing and loving the little bit of laughter he brought to an otherwise dark time for our country. Social media and Jean fans also found this humorous and shared the engaging content close to 100k times. The footage of the street interviews had gone viral almost instantly.
This isn’t the first time Daniel Jean has made headlines. In 2018, The New York Post reported on a story with a headline: “Pranksters behind fake Midtown fight are old pros with new projects in the Works” The footage is of is a skit that went viral earlier that week on social media.
