Spelling Bee Comedy

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel interviews via Skype the kid who couldn't hear "heron" during a spelling bee contest.

From the author on his original video: "Heron. My most infamous word of all time. This is its story.
This is me failing to spell the word heron (HAIRLINE???????). The reason why I couldn't hear the word is because the speakers were facing the audience, not toward the spellers as it should be. Because of this I didn't get the word until after I had to find out the meaning. Note that I did ask for definition before the tangent. If I were paying attention to that I wouldn't have done this:P."
