What I didn't like
If anything, he could go on longer. Tell us more.
My overall impression
An engaging one-man show about a man looking back 25 years to his 2000 master prank on the unsuspecting host and writers of The Tonight Show. He takes us back to when his gift for pretending to be a quirky and charming Ukrainian student snowballed into several appearances on the show, a run that amazed him and his friends, only ending when he was exposed to be an audacious American kid out on a lark. Questions dog him. Should he have parlayed that brush with show biz into something bigger? What could he have done differently? It seems he still can barely believe he pulled it off so perfectly, yet he wonders why for so many years it felt so painful to retell the story. The audience gets to decide if his telling it now can heal that wound.
