Viral 'Scott Kelly' Appears on Fallon, Says He Wasn't Job Hunting

The Syracuse Army veteran is employed, having reconnected with the résumé reviewer — a former comrade focused on hiring veterans.

Overview

  • A fan-shot TikTok of a concertgoer reading a résumé labeled “Scott Kelly” at a Jonas Brothers show drew tens of millions of views as celebrities and brands chimed in.
  • Kelly was introduced as a surprise guest on The Tonight Show, met the band on air, and quipped that he had never heard of them before the viral clip.
