"Granny", 94, of Columbus, Ohio, loves the support from fans. "No matter where I go, into what little store, someone knows me," she says. (Although sometimes its a little too much attention; she asked that we not use her real name to protect her privacy). She first went viral as "Gangster Granny" on Vine, when her grandson Ross Smith came home from college to find her shooting hoops. He quickly made a video and posted it online. "It kind of went viral, and the rest is history. Nine years later we're still making the world smile," he says. The comedic duo started using TikTok when it was still called Musical.ly. They pull pranks together, share life hacks, demonstrate beer pong trick shots, and have featured celebrity guests, including Chuck Norris. Granny says her favorite videos to make are "the exciting ones," such as a recent TikTok where she donned a swimsuit and sat in a bathtub full of cereal. Smith says, "It's been great, it's opened up a new door to interact and make a bunch of new fans."

Fort Worth's Steve Austin, 82, draws TikTok viewers by joking around and sharing his attempts to cook, dance, or do magic tricks. Bucket hats have become his signature look and Austin says he has now probably collected over 100. Making videos for the internet, he says "keeps my mind active. It gives me a reason to get up in the morning." Austin estimates he has been posting for about 12 years, first on Vine and then YouTube. But it was TikTok where he became a star. "I would make a sandwich or a bowl of cereal and that was me 'cooking.' I guess people thought it was funny, because I started getting followers. Overnight I was getting thousands of people following me," Austin says. His "Cooking with Steve" video series landed him appearances on the Rachel Ray Show, CNN, and Today. "I couldn't believe it. It's been a bit overwhelming." In addition to cooking, he likes doing silly dancing videos and "Magic Saturdays with Steve," where he tries to do a magic trick but usually messes up. "I'm just a ham at heart," he says. "I don't take myself too seriously."
