I just portray him. You take on the character of that person by knowing him and using some of his mannerisms. I have had a good response from both the Will Rogers family and the public. The humor and philosophy is Will Rogers, not Gene McFall. I start the show as myself, and end the show as myself, but in between that time is Will Rogers.
Gene is a student of the famed Oklahoma philosopher and humorist.
Gene is as quick with an answer as he is with twirling a rope. And human nature does not change. Will had the ability to pull out the universal truths in a situation. In any situation. If Will made a joke about you, then you were somebody.
