After Going Viral at Jonas Brothers Show, Scott Kelly Admits He Had ‘Never Heard’ of Them
You never quite know when — or how — your 15 minutes will come along. Just ask Scott Kelly, a regular chap who became an Internet sensation this week when his resume blew up at a Jonas Brothers concert.
During the JoBros’ show Sunday, Nov. 9 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY, a recruitment consultant was busted reviewing an apparent candidate’s resume, as Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas performed on stage.
TikTok user Jen captured the moment and shared it with the caption, “Scott Kelly, your resume was being reviewed at a Jonas Brothers concert tonight. Good luck.”
The video has clocked more than 7.8 million views, and the siblings got in on the fun. “Bro,” Joe wrote in the comments section, “Scott Kelly was there for me plenty of times. Hired.” Kevin weighed in, “I’m one of Scott Kelly’s references,” and Nick chimed, “Scott Kelly’s work ethic and critical thinking inspired me to write the line ‘red dress.’”
That viral clip has been converted into a real-life situation, thanks to late-night TV.
The brothers were seated guests for Thursday night’s episode of NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, when Kelly was brought on set to answer the question on everyone’s mind. Did he get the job?
The answer isn’t quite so simple.
Kelly, wearing a suit, appropriate for an interview or a one-off interview beamed out to millions of households, admitted, “it’s been an interesting week.”
Kelly, a veteran, didn’t initially have a TikTok account. But he does now, after he was alerted to his insta-fame through buddies and a flood of emails.
“I never actually applied from a job,” he explained. Instead, his qualifications were studied by a local business that goes out of way to hire veteran talent, whose transition from military to civilian life, explains Kelly, can be “very challenging”.
Kelly had a confession to make, which he held until the very end of the segment. “I had never heard of you before this,” he told the brothers. “It’s true. My wife had to tell me. I didn’t have Disney Channel growing up. I didn’t know.” After his interesting week, Kelly is “a huge fanboy now.”
The pop trio stopped by Studio 6B at 30 Rockefeller Center ahead of the release at midnight of A Very Jonas Christmas’ Movie Soundtrack, the companion to their Disney+ film, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie.
The brothers’ 20th anniversary JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour continues Friday night, Nov. 14 at CTMohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, and they’ll ring in the new year in Florida at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, for a show that will be livestreamed exclusively on Samsung TV Plus.
