There's a long story about Boris Johnson (dickhead chancer who was prime minister in the UK) doing the same routine in 2 different occasions: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/c1korj/jeremy_v...

... and people loving it.

Most public speakers do this.

Someone pointed out that Malcolm Gladwell even does "oh, wait, I almost forgot" or "That just reminded me" during his speeches but that it rehearsed and a consistent part of the speech as well.

Similar to how comedians have a "set" that they first put together, polish and then repeat over and over again.
