“The cashier at the local grocery store asked me if I wanted to donate $2 to end world hunger…”

“I was at the grocery store. When I got to the cashier she was like, ‘Do you want to donate two dollars to end world hunger?’ I was like, hell yeah! I had no idea we were so close” was said by stand-up comic Matt Donaher on the YouTube video, “Matt Donaher Stand-Up 05/12/16 | CONAN on TBS.”
 
The “two dollars to end world hunger” usually is a request to contribute to a cause that, in aggregate, will go toward possibly ending hunger. However, the speaker (Matt Donaher) assumes that his two dollars will help reach the goal and that hunger will be ended.

Matt is about to have a baby with his girlfriend, but he’s overwhelmed by all the choices of names…of possible fathers.

Looking for a video of a nerdy stand up comedian who was asked if he wanted to donate $2 to end world hunger
and he said - I didn’t know we were so close.
He is a young guy, in his early 20s probably. I saw it once on youtube and can’t find it now
