Who's Used Their 15 Minutes Of Fame The Best?
Today’s episode of KFC Radio features a great interview with comedian Ryan Long! One of the things touched on in the interview was the idea of 15 minutes of fame and how that has evolved a bit now where people are able to stay relevant for longer after that 15 minutes. I do wonder though, who has capitalized on their 15 minutes the most and made a legit career out of it?
It feels like we were in a boom time of that this summer with the Costco Guys, the Rizzler, and the Hawk Tuah girl. The jury is still out on whether they last or not but it’s looking pretty promising for them.
We’ve gotta go back a little bit further to truly find someone who has stood the test of time after their 15 minutes of fame window had closed. It’s tough! The “Damn Daniel” kids might’ve only stuck around for 14 of their 15 minutes, and then you have someone like Rebecca Black who didn’t do much after “Friday”, although she did pop up a few weeks back.
A little bone for all you horn dogs out there.
The only possible answer in my mind is the “cash me outside” girl and I don’t think it’s particularly close.
She goes by Bhad Bhabie now and I’d say she’s doing ok for herself. She’s had multiple top 100 singles released, a reality TV show that got 10 million viewers in its first 24 hours, is the #1 creator on OnlyFans, and has a reported net worth of a casual $50 million. Not too bad for someone who got their start on a Dr. Phil segment.
Ryan Long fit in great with the gang and made for a great interview so be sure to give today's episode a listen!
