After explaining this anecdote, the comedian said to Jimmy, ?I am so happy.?
Since he got very excited after getting appreciated by his idol, he also did an impersonation in front of Arnold himself, which impressed the bodybuilder more. ?So I get a call a week later, and it?s sincerely it?s like ?will you please hold for the governor.? And I think someone?s messing with me.? said the Armchair Expert podcast presenter.
