Jarrett William Sorko (born July 28, 1991) is a Canadian comedian, musician and internet celebrity. Sorko released the song "Yo, I'm From Windsor Dude" in March 2011. As a result, Sorko received major press coverage in his hometown of Windsor, Ontario drawing attention to both the city and himself. Sorko took advantage of his creative writing and musical talent and has helped use the success of his viral video to create a promising comedy career for himself.

Jarrett Sorko attended Catholic Central High School in Windsor, Ontario. While at this school Jarrett achieved honour roll all four of his years and graduated at the top of his class. He was also very influenced by art and had his art on display in different galleries and museums. With high grades Jarrett was able to pursue both architecture and art in University for a year before dropping out because he wanted to follow other creative inspiration.

After dropping out of his program in University because his heart wasn't in it Jarrett began working full-time. After working for a while and the economy slowly declining Sorko became unemployed at the beginning of 2011. Due to his lack of cash and his life-long dream Jarrett decided to become a comedian. Since his early school days Jarrett had been playing guitar and piano so he decided to take his musical talent and combine it with his creative writing to create music that he says he hopes "put a smile on people's faces when they listen to it". In March 2011 Jarrett released his first recorded song "Yo, I'm From Windsor Dude" on YouTube and it became viral overnight. Many radio stations, newspapers and TV outlets picked it up. Jarrett helped put Windsor, Ontario on the maps with his viral video that reached over 40,000 views in the first few days.

Edward VIII (Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David; later The Duke of Windsor; 23 June 1894 – 28 May 1972) was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth, and Emperor of India, from 20 January to 11 December 1936.

Before his accession to the throne, Edward was Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay. As a young man, he served in the British Armed Forces during the First World War and undertook several foreign tours on behalf of his father, George V. He was associated with a succession of older, married women but remained unmarried until after his abdication as king.

Edward became king when his father died in early 1936. Only months into his reign, he caused a constitutional crisis by proposing marriage to the American socialite Wallis Simpson, who had divorced her first husband and was seeking a divorce from her second. The prime ministers of the United Kingdom and the Dominions opposed the marriage, arguing that the people would never accept a divorced woman with two living ex-husbands as queen. Additionally, such a marriage would have conflicted with Edward's status as head of the Church of England, which opposed the remarriage of divorced people if their former spouses were still alive. Edward knew that the government led by British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin would resign if the marriage went ahead, which could have dragged the king into a general election and would ruin his status as a politically neutral constitutional monarch. Rather than end his relationship with Simpson, Edward abdicated. He was succeeded by his younger brother Albert, who chose the regnal name George VI. With a reign of 326 days, Edward was one of the shortest-reigning monarchs in British and Commonwealth history. He was never crowned.
