The Rizzler and The Costo Guys on The Tonight Show

The three most in-demand guys from TikTok sensations, the Costco Guys, and their young friend, The Rizzler, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It was during an interest-tickling segment that mainly spoke volumes about how The Rizzler was treated in the show. This article will try to delve deep into what happened, the fan’s reactions, and the reasons such moments stand instrumental in the realm of social media and entertainment.

Who are the Costco Guys, and who is The Rizzler? Before we get down to brass tacks on the show, let’s briefly introduce the stars involved in it.

The Costco Guys are A.J. and Big Justice Befumo, a father-son duo known for their upbeat videos that often feature product reviews, particularly items from Costco. Their content has resonated with millions, and they are adored for taking humorous takes on everyday products using at times a special rating system called “Boom or Doom”​ st

This system lets them share their opinions about the most varied items in a very interactive way.

The Rizzler, whose real name is Christian Joseph, is a 22-year-old TikTok influencer who has won hearts with his bubbly personality and the infamous “Rizz face.” In a slang sense, “rizz” stems from the word “charisma,” which has become his signature move, the Rizz face. He usually collaborates with Costco Guys, and together they have made several entertaining videos. The Tonight Show Appearance

A.J., Big Justice, and The Rizzler finally made their debut on The Tonight Show on October 28, 2024. Highly eager, fans were excited to see some of the most favorite TikTok stars on such a big platform. It was light and fun initially, as they spoke about their TikTok experiences and shared some laughs with interactions in the studio audience​.

It all went south, however, when Jimmy Fallon made a joke that to many viewers came off as disrespectful to The Rizzler. During the segment, Fallon requested for The Rizzler to make his signature Rizz face. This was supposed to be one of the funny moments, but the manner in which Fallon issued the request sounded belittling to some, and things got awkward, which the viewers noted

Fans React

The moment went viral almost immediately on social media, with fans weighing in on thoughts and feelings on how The Rizzler was dealt with on the show. Many came to his defense, adding that Jimmy Fallon’s jokes were a bit too much, and he should have treated the young performer with more respect. Social media comments said that child stars should be treated with paramount kindness, especially when they’re sharing a big talent in a big setting, such as a late-night talk show​.

Some viewers perceived Fallon’s humor-as funny as it was supposed to be-the trivialization of the pressure and challenges young influencers go through. It raised a current issue about how children in the industry are put in the spotlight, and there should be a positive support of such children.

Viral Moments and Their Impact

The influence such moments on popular shows can have might be very strong. First and foremost, they build or damage the confidence of a young star. Despite the awkwardness, The Rizzler was charming throughout the show and actually received appreciation from fans for handling this situation in a very graceful manner. However, such instances might also have negative feelings for the young influencer if he feels misconstrued or ridiculed at a public forum.

Discussions of this incident reveal something about the changing relations between traditional media and social media influencers, too. The more youngsters that become famous on the internet, the more established platforms have to acknowledge and adapt this new generation of stars, also understanding the pressures they face, according to the same respect as established celebrities.​

 Conclusion

All this-the Costco Guys, and the appearance of The Rizzler on The Tonight Show-reinforces this idea that entertainment is necessary when etiquette is in play, often required of the younger stars. Of course, it could have been rather awkward. But the charisma and special talents these TikTok stars brought with them shone through.

As discussions remain regarding how young influencers should be treated within the media, it is a good idea to construct an environment promoting positivity and support. This will long be etched in the minds of every fan and a reminder to all of what words and acts may truly have on young people trying to make it in the world of entertainment
