Comedian and impersonator John Morgan, ABC Television's "The Next Best Thing" finalist and "The Definitive President George W. Bush," has been chosen to join the 2008 roster for the Promise Keepers conferences as a special guest performer at all of the year's conferences, starting with the Fresno, Calif., conference June 27-28.
"I am honored to have been asked to bring my Presidential humor and message to the Promise Keepers events in Summer and Fall 2008," Morgan says. "It is a hilarious joy and a privilege to look like, sound like and impersonate George W. Bush, The President of the United States, but it is infinitely more precious that we all are called to the eternally rewarding mission of being imitators of God."
At the conferences, Morgan joins a dynamic lineup of speakers including Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the international Christian relief organization Samaritan's Purse; renowned author Josh McDowell (Evidence That Demands a Verdict, More Than A Carpenter); Coach Bill McCartney, founder and former president of Promise Keepers; David Bryant, chairman of America's National Prayer Committee; and Kenny Luck, founder and president of Every Man Ministries and men's pastor at Saddleback Church. The remaining 2008 Promise Keepers dates are: August 1-2 in Atlanta, Ga.; August 8-9 in Peoria, Ill.; August 15-16 in Dallas, Texas; September 5-6 in Cleveland, Ohio; September 12-13 in Charleston, W. Va.,; September 26-27 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; and November 14-15 in Tacoma, Wash.
Ever since the Republican Party of Florida discovered John Morgan working as a Bush campaign volunteer in 2004 and brought him in to entertain at such high profile events as President Bush's 2005 Inauguration in Washington, D.C. and Governor Jeb Bush's birthday party in Florida, even those closest to the President have been astounded at Morgan's amazing impersonation. Vice President Dick Cheney summed it up best when he told Morgan, "You're a dead ringer!"
Dubbed "the smarter, better, funnier version of George Bush," when he appeared on ABC's Television's "The Next Best Thing," the award-winning comedian/impersonator's list of appearances also includes such highlights as ABC's "Good Morning America" and "The View," NBC's "Today Show," CNN's "Headline News," Fox News "Dayside," "Family Feud" and Fox Television personality Sean Hannity's 2007 "Freedom Concert" series. Morgan also imitates President George W. Bush at corporate events around the world for companies such as Bell South, IBM, Bank of America, World Vision, City of Hope and Zap Cars.
Along the way, Morgan has shared the stage with notable politicians and political pundits including U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, Sean Hannity, Col. Oliver North, Neal Boortz and James Carville, as well as entertainers including Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight ("National Treasure"), CNN personality Brian Christie and musical superstars Lee Greenwood, Montgomery Gentry, LeAnn Rimes, Charlie Daniels, Michael W. Smith and Kirk Franklin.
