A TikToker by the name of ‘Joellenlove’ has gone viral on the app after showing her boyfriend using a commissioned video from William Hung to announce that he’s quitting his job.

While he didn’t make it through to the next round on the show, he was quickly signed to a record label — releasing several albums before retiring in 2011 to work for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
