Who’s the Greatest American of All Time, and Why Is It John Stamos? Kosta Finds Out | The Daily Show
In honor of America’s 250th birthday, Michael Kosta hit the streets of NYC to ask his fellow citizens a simple question: Who is the greatest American of all time? The answers poured in, and boy were they wrong. It’s John Motherf**king Stamos! Luckily, Stamos himself happened to be there to help a starstruck Kosta set the record straight. Thanks, Uncle Jesse! #DailyShow #JohnStamos #UncleJesse #GreatestAmerican #FullHouse

I'm surprised some people haven't heard of Nyla. Her platform is easy to understand and straightforward.

They need to study that man he does not age and it doesnāt look like heās had work or fillers. I think thatās pure genetics. They need to study him so we can get some of what heās got!!!
