Scott Kelly went viral this week thanks to a Jonas Brothers concert, but it turns out the man had no idea who the singers were before that. He admitted it directly to the group during a surprise appearance on “The Tonight Show” on Thursday. He also revealed whether or not he got the job.
Kelly became a household name for some this week, after a Jonas Brothers fan posted a video on TikTok of another audience member examining Kelly’s resume in the middle of the band’s concert. The fan captioned the video “Good luck Scott Kelly, I hope you get the job,” and in the following days, each of the Jonas Brothers commented on the post, vouching for references the potential employer could use.
When the brothers stopped by “The Tonight Show” to support their new Christmas movie “A Very Jonas Christmas Movie,” host Jimmy Fallon stunned them by revealing that he and his team had actually found Kelly and brought him to the show.
“I know it’s Scott Kelly because I saw his LinkedIn,” Joe Jonas said excitedly. “It’s definitely him.”
But the recognition wasn’t really mutual. At the end of the interview, Kelly made a confession that really tickled the Jonas brothers.
“I’ve never heard of you before,” Kelly admitted, drawing a huge laugh from the audience and the brothers. “My wife must have told me! I didn’t have Disney Channel growing up, I didn’t know!”
To this, Fallon argued that the singers had “transcended” Disney Channel – only to be immediately reminded that their Christmas movie would be released this week on Disney+.
Of course, the big question on Nick, Joe, and Kevin’s mind was whether Kelly got the job her resume was being considered for.
That’s when Kelly revealed he hadn’t applied for any jobs, but the man looking at his resume was actually in the same Army infantry battalion in 2014. The man now runs his own business and is actively looking to tap other veterans to help them return to civilian life.
Kelly and the man, whose name is Brandon, plan to reunite on an episode of Kelly’s podcast to discuss how the veteran community can help each other.
