Karen Cassady (@karencassssss) joins the podcast this week!
We talk about her viral characters and movie parodies and how she’s using TikTok to bring improv to the small screen. Karen tells us how she got started on TikTok—a quarantine outlet for the working actress and performer. And how she prepares for each improvised story.
We find out more about the connections she’s made on the app, like with fellow improvisers Michael Burke (@dmichaelburke) and Aaron Goldenberg (@aarongoldyboy).
She tells us more about how the “Choose Your Own Adventure” storyline came to be and how the TikTok community plays a role in her work.
Nostalgia TikTok is a side of the platform where people post content from the past few decades and things that will instantly remind you of your childhood.
Tony Lewis creates these spot on videos of watching commercials as a kid in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
Many TikTokkers are back at their childhood home for whatever reason. They indulge us with nostalgic finds like old diary entries, TeenBeat Magazines, yearbook fashions, and of course, Beanie Babies.
