About this episode

TikTok superstar, content creator, and host Max Balegde joins Kevin and Jenna on the pod! 

He has over 3.5 million followers on TikTok alone and a huge career on social media, but did you know his path to success started with Glee?!

Max started watching the show when he was just ten years old, and his early TikTok account was all about his favorite series. He shares his 'most unhinged' moments from the series and the storylines he can't believe the network allowed to air.

Plus, he discusses how his successful career came about as a 'complete accident,' which led to a hosting career and more!
