TikTok's Rise in the Entertainment World
TikTok's impact extends beyond just launching individual careers. The platform is often referred to as the "new TV," with its short-form videos capturing the attention of a massive audience. This shift is creating new opportunities for emerging creators in Hollywood.
Recent examples of TikTok's influence include Boman Martinez-Reid, known for his Kardashian impersonations, landing television roles. The popular TikTok series "Group Chat" also gained significant traction, leading to its creator appearing on the Today Show.
