The welcome back production allowed our noticeably diverse student population to \u201cLOL\u201d together after diving into a week\u2019s worth of school work.<\/p>\n<p>Annie Lederman, who has made appearances on <em>Chelsea Lately, Grand Theft Auto V<\/em>, and <em>The Soup Investigates<\/em>, opened the night with the one inevitable question for any new Frostburg visitor \u2013 \u201cwhat do you even do here?\u201d\u00a0 Her \u201cbroccoli and churches\u201d perception was fairly accurate, and our crowd did not jump to shoot down that description.\u00a0 Annie\u2019s assumption that we probably just \u201cdrink and f*ck\u201d may or may not be true \u2013 you can decide for yourself.\u00a0 Like most university visitors, Annie was anxious to understand what popular majors Frostburg State houses.\u00a0 She hilariously questioned the study of Wildlife and Fisheries \u2013 taking the time to ponder on lions and previously owned pet goldfish.\u00a0 Annie explained that her life as a comedian took hard work and some tough times.\u00a0 Her career makes not only her happy, but also fulfills one of her father\u2019s dreams.\u00a0 The stand-up comic is enthusiastically awaiting the premiere of her new weekly show on E!\u00a0 She and her co-host Julian McCullough hit the screen on September 18<sup>th<\/sup> at 10:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Carlos has been regularly seen on VH1, MTV, and in various commercials.\u00a0 The New York comic is also known for his CollegeHumor.com videos and impressive Barack Obama impressions.\u00a0 He has made appearances on ABC\u2019s <em>Ugly Betty<\/em>, and was named Best Male Comic of the Year by Emerging Comedians of New York.\u00a0 Like Annie, Jordan was confused to what we do here in good ole Western Maryland.\u00a0 He was clearly troubled by the elevation difference between our college town and the Bronx (about 2,000 feet), and hilariously noted the impact it was having on his body.\u00a0 Although he believed his head could have burst, his altitude attitude made for an interesting evening.\u00a0 Jordan immediately complimented our highly diverse crowd, and was genuinely impressed by the various races and ethnicities entwined throughout the room.\u00a0 An obvious fan favorite was Jordan\u2019s spot-on Barack Obama impression, leaving the entire audience amused.<\/p>\n<p>Controversial topics remained common throughout both Annie and Jordan\u2019s sets.\u00a0 Both focused primarily on race, sex, gender issues, and political views.\u00a0 As a student group full of observably diverse individuals, it seemed like a breath of fresh air to listen and joke openly about such sensitive subjects.\u00a0 Annie and Jordan spoke lightly of these topics that we, as young adults, face nearly every day.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the evening, Annie and Jordan took the stage together, and answered questions from the audience.\u00a0 The questions were, like the sets, shocking and off-the-wall \u2013 but still light and amusing.\u00a0 It became obvious that everyone who attended the show left in brighter spirits, with most still laughing and hurriedly sending Snapchat videos.\u00a0 The duo left a mark on our campus at a perfect time \u2013 allowing us as students to kick off the semester with fresh humor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annie Lederman and Jordan Carlos brightened up
