- You may recognize my next guest from his performance
of the National Anthem during his high school football game
that has now gone viral.
Well, Jackson, were you shocked by the reaction
to your performance?
- Oh yeah.
We didn't expect it to go this far.
It's my first time to LA, furthest away from home
I've ever been, so it's been crazy.
- Hey, man, your parents are here,
Eileen and Keith in the audience today.
(audience applauds) How you folks doin'?
Now, Eileen, let me ask you this.
How'd you feel when you learned that your son's performance
was goin' viral?
- I was so shocked.
We just don't know what to do with all of this attention
that it's gotten.
It's been such a wild ride.
We've just enjoyed it.
We're on the phone constantly.
He's gotten all these gigs, 'cause he plays music out,
and this was just really exciting.
It was senior night, and it was fun.
- Oh, at the football game, it was senior night?
- So our whole family walked him.
- Oh that's right, you a senior too.
Oh man, that was your last football game at the school.
- Yeah, we got a play off game Friday.
(audience applauds)
- You got a play off game Friday?
Jackson, I'll tell you what, man, will you perform
for us now?
- Yeah. - How 'bout that.
(audience applauds) Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Jackson.
