The video clip of Davidson participating in the interview incognito has taken social media by storm, and no wonder why. The Blackhawks GM’s seamless execution during the interview deserves applause.

“I’m Kyle from Chicago,” Davidson brings out his perfect comic timing

Anonymously identified as “Kyle from Chicago,” when asked who is he, Davidson faced a series of questions from Penalty Box Radio. When asked if he had ever been to Nashville for a Blackhawks game, he responded with a witty remark, saying yes. As the interviewer inquired about his knowledge of hockey on a scale of 1 to 10, Davidson comically rated himself a modest 4, adding that he had been told he didn’t know much about the sport.

The real comedic gem came when “Kyle from Chicago” was challenged to name as many ice hockey players as possible within 20 seconds. To the interviewer’s surprise, Davidson effortlessly listed around 15 names, showcasing an unexpected depth of knowledge.
