DOWNTOWN — Who is Gary from Chicago?
The man who stole the show at the Oscars (well, right up until "La La Land" nearly stole Best Picture) and repped the city apparently came off a tour bus. He ended up meeting celebrities, getting serious camera time and getting (pretend) married by Denzel Washington.
He's also scheduled to appear on the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Monday night, according to ABC7.
It's not yet known if Gary is really from Chicago, but he already has a large following.
The Bears and Bulls offered Gary their support:
Gary from Chicago! We've got you covered if you want to come to a game! #Oscars
