💥 BREAKING NEWS: The real Scott Kelly shocks fans by joining the Jonas Brothers on the Tonight Show after his viral résumé moment blew up online ⚡.NH

On Thursday, Nov. 13, the hopeful job candidate, who went viral when a TikTok user caught a prospective employer reading his résumé at a Jonas Brothers concert, finally met the pop stars (who vouched for him in the video’s comment section) on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 

Kelly, who also spoke with The Washington Post earlier Thursday, told host Jimmy Fallon that he heard about his résumé going viral from a friend who broke the news while he was in class for an MBA program. He then dropped a surprising connection with the man scrolling through his résumé in the video, Brandon Bieron. He was already saved in Kelly’s contacts because they served in the same U.S. Army infantry battalion in 2014 at Fort Drum in New York, Kelly explained.

The story took another weird turn when Kelly said he never actually applied for a job. He told the Post he is “gainfully employed” by a telecommunications company. However, he’s now built a connection with Bieron, who runs Reimer Home Services and focuses on hiring veterans. He’ll also join Kelly in a future episode of Kelly’s national security podcast, At the Water’s Edge, Kelly told Fallon.

Fallon and the Jonas Brothers insisted that they were all hearing about Kelly’s background for the first time. Then, Kelly, 36, dropped another surprise.

“Can I share a real thing? I had never heard of you before this,” Kelly told the Jonas Brothers. “I didn’t have Disney Channel growing up, I didn’t know!”

Fallon ended the segment by sharing a QR code to Kelly’s LinkedIn profile.Scott Kelly.

The original video was posted on Monday, Nov. 10, and has since racked up nearly 50 million views on TikTok. 

In the clip, Jen Wilson was sitting one row behind Bieron, who was glued to his phone, reading a résumé while at the live event. “scott kelly your resume was being reviewed at a jonas brothers concert tonight. good luck,” Wilson wrote over the video. 

In nearly no time at all, the masses — including the “Only Human” hitmakers themselves — rallied around Kelly, hoping that he got the job. The Jonas Brothers meet Scott Kelly on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’.
