In a delightfully entertaining segment on The Tonight Show, TikTok sensation The Rizzler gave host Jimmy Fallon an unforgettable lesson in mastering the art of the "Rizz Face" – a facial expression that's taken social media by storm.
The Rizzler, whose real name is Christian Joseph, has become an internet phenomenon, amassing over 1 million TikTok followers alongside his father. During his October 28 appearance, accompanied by fellow TikTok stars A.J. and Big Justice, the young social media star didn't just show up – he showed out.
Social media sensation 'The Rizzler' brings his viral expression to late-night television
When Fallon eagerly inquired about the origin story behind the famous "Rizz Face," the rising influencer's response was refreshingly simple.
"So, basically, one day, I came home from school, and I was like, 'Dad, I want to make a video,'" he explained with the confidence of a seasoned performer. "And I was like, 'This is how to do the Rizz face,' and then I just did it. That's it."
But the real magic happened when Fallon requested a personal tutorial. With the precision of a facial expression maestro, he broke down the iconic look into three crucial steps:
"First, you put one eyebrow down like this... then you raise one up... and then you suck in like this."
The result? A hilariously awkward attempt by Fallon that had the audience in stitches.
Even The Roots' Questlove couldn't resist joining in on the fun, though his attempt looked more like "an impression of Robert DeNiro" than The Rizzler's signature expression, as Fallon playfully pointed out.
The segment wasn't just about facial gymnastics – it was part of a larger appearance featuring the trio's famous "Boom Meter" ratings system. The group, known for their food review videos, treated Fallon to their signature rating style, evaluating Halloween candies from raisins (which earned a disappointing "one boom") to pumpkin Peeps (which scored an impressive "five big booms").
The Rizzler's appearance on The Tonight Show marks another milestone in his meteoric rise to fame. What started as a simple father-son TikTok channel has evolved into a social media phenomenon, with The Rizzler's quick wit and authentic humor capturing hearts across platforms.
As the segment wrapped up with a special cookie tasting and synchronized "booms," it was clear that this little guy had not only taught Fallon a new facial expression but had also brought his unique brand of entertainment to late-night television.
For a third-grader who decided to create a silly face one day after school, he has certainly turned his spontaneous creativity into social media gold, proving that sometimes the best content comes from the most unexpected moments.
