Ceci was the star of the show tonight. Literally — there was a show tonight, and Ceci ended up being in it. Keep reading to find out what happened.

What have you been up to tonight?

I went to a show on campus! We had a really lucky opportunity to see this amazing improv group perform — North Coast Musical Improv. They're from New York City. They asked us to give them a celebrity to base their improv off of, so we chose Kanye West. And they made it into a huge improv musical performance. It was really fun, especially because I was a part of it.

Tell me more about how you ended up being a part of the show.

Well, I was named Governor of Illinois. When we — the audience —chose Kanye West as the celebrity, they were asking about when he got famous and what was happening in the world that year. People were saying 2007, and I was born in 2007. So, I started shouting "I was born! I was born!"

At the end, they were saying the events that happened after Kanye were no longer as important. Apparently, I run for president after Kanye, and I also become the Governor of Illinois. 

How are you feeling right now?

Important. My friends are definitely not going to let me forget this. I had a really great time, and now I guess I'm the Governor of Illinois... or President of the United States...
