..." That made me laugh out loud and I'm at work.
He said it as part of acknowledging all of the stars and dignitaries that were on the main podium.

Maybe someone can find a link. Dr Dyson spoke around 210pm PDT.

I got a chance to meet him and take a pic with him at the Essence Festival in July. Quite an experience to be in his presence. He never disappoints.
