Slapstick sells, apparently.
Comedian Adam Waheed first went viral in 2016 with a comedy sketch about his girlfriend doing her makeup in the car. In his popular TikTok and KZhead videos, Waheed performs slapstick stunts like working out in the gym atop a toilet, eating a “train salad” (nails and bolts atop a bed of arugula and tomatoes) and staging his death after stubbing his toe. Now, he’s moved into the big screen, signing a three-picture content deal with Jimmy Kimmel’s production studio, Wheelhouse. Through this and his partnerships with the NFL, Old Spice, Dr Pepper, Doritos, Samsung and T-Mobile, Waheed’s businesses made over $7 million last year, per Forbes’ estimate.

  • He might be making bank but Adam has been making Skits since way before Tiktok became the phenomenon it is now. Expecially on mediums like Instgram. This man has been at this for close to a decade. I'm just 2 minutes in and they make it sound like he is a newbie of sorts. .. Anyway. Maybe they correct this perception later on
