RantCrush Top 5: January 18, 2017

Donald Trump has had a hard time finding celebrities or entertainers to perform at his inauguration on Friday, but now one more act has been added to the program for the All-American Inaugural Ball. Comedian Dan Nainan, the former Intel engineer who lied about his age and pretended to be a millennial, will crack some jokes for the audience. Nainan made a name for himself as a writer for millennials, and in 2012 he told the New York Times he was 31 but told the Wall Street Journal that he was 36. Earlier this month a reporter from the Daily Beast presented some documents proving that he is actually 55. But Nainan stuck to his story–and said that his birth record is wrong.

We’re all waiting to see what kind of jokes the wannabe-millennial is going to honor the President-elect with.

I hope millenial comedian Dan Nainan doesn’t just rehash all his jokes he told at Reagan’s inauguration
