Lol, I thought so. Actually, Dashan is one of my heroes. I study lingusitics and second language aquisition, and he has always been a role model to me. He's proof that if you work hard enough, you can become natively fluent in a second language and integrate yourself into another culture. Not to mention that his Xiangsheng is frickin' hilarious, lol.
I can imagine you in a taxi:
Taxi driver: Ni shi meiguo ren ma?
You: Bu shi, wo shi jia na da ren.
Taxi driver: Ai ya! Ni renshi Dashan ma?!
