Did anyone else see DS getting mentioned on Live 8?
Lenny Henry said something like- "most Americans will be wondering who I am- they'll be saying that kid from Diff'rent Strokes really grew up." He then said "what u talking bout Willis."

I just thought it was really funny that it got mentioned on something being watched by mil/bilions of people all over the world.

I assumed everyone would know what it was.
Last Saturday 8 concerts were held throughout the world to draw attention to world poverty. The biggest attended one was in Miami where 1.5 mil people showed up and it was hosted by Will Smith. The one were DS was mentioned was London which had acts performing such as Madonna, REM, Pink Floyd, The Who, Paul Mcartney and U2. It was estimated over 1 billion people saw coverage of it over the world.
