TikTok Star Khaby Lame on His Tubi Comedy Series and Budding Acting Career: ‘My Dream Is to Win an Oscar!’


TikTok star Khaby Lame talks about his new comedy series featuring guests including David Beckham and Alicia Keys, and his upcoming movie role.

In each 20-minute episode, the Senegalese-born Italian social media personality visits a different city — Miami, New Orleans and New York — and meets with celebrity guests David Beckham, Alicia Keys, Jon Batiste and Steven A. Smith as well as local influencers. Asked if he is concerned about a potential ban of TikTok in the U.S. — which could happen as early as January 2025 if the app’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, doesn’t divest its ownership stake — Lame claimed that he isn’t. “Khaby Lame is leading the charge when it comes to socially engaging and relevant content, and we are proud to bring his talent and influence to the American mainstream market,” Morgan Wilkinson, Group Black’s director of creative strategy, said in a statement.
