TV audition - creative help needed!!!

Ok all you creative people my OH got an audition for another quiz show (after his failing to get picked for Duel ) He has to do a one minute thing that makes him memorable...anyone any ideas, he says hes going to tell his jokes but they truly are AWFUL and I think that is such a bad idea

But seriously if anyone has any ideas that'd be fantastic. Singing and dancing not an option as worse than jokes !!!

It has to be something that will make him memorable

To be honest thats a really hard question, he can be quite witty and is good at sarcasim (I don't mean in a bad way) he's good at quizzes, he's good at remembering dates, and just being him but not sure that helps him be memorable in a minute to a tv crew!!!

Its really diffficult

If he is good at sarcasm he will be good with certain jokes.People love to hear comedians moan about men,women,kids, driving to name but a few,xxxxxxxxxx

Better still - Dog impersonations, he could start with your own and I'm sure some of us could help with our own dogs personalities

TBH trying to be 'memorable' in a minute is a contradiction in terms, a typical media thing, like the one minute sound bites for politicians.

But nevertheless I wish him well in his audition

What about him doing the ballon dance. That would have to be unforgetable.
