NOT RECOGNIZE HER NAME OR FACE
BUT GENERATIONS OF CHILDREN HAVE LOVED TINA FABRICS

POINTS. TAKE A LISTEN.
>> IS THE I CAN GO TWICE
>> YES. YOU'LL HAVE THAT SONG
IN YOUR HEAD ALL DAY LONG.
READING RAINBOW IS A MAINSTAY
ON CHILDREN'S TELEVISION FOR
MORE THAN 2 DECADES IN THE
THEMES ON IS GETTING NEW LIFE
ON TIKTOK, OF COURSE. JOINING
US NOW TO EXPLAIN WHY IS NBC
NEWS YOUTH AND INTERNET
CULTURE REPORTER CALLAN
ROSENBLATT CALLAN. GOOD TO
HAVE YOU WITH FIRST, GIVE US
SORT OF THE BASIC FOUNDATION
HERE. WHAT IS THIS LATEST
TREND ON TIKTOK.
>> YOU KNOW, JOE, SO THIS
TREND IS IT'S VERY SILLY, VERY
LIGHT HEARTED. THERE IS A
FILTER THAT'S CALLED SPACE AND
IT WILL BASICALLY TAKE YOUR
FACE AND HAVE IT SCROLLING
PAST THE SUN MATH YOU LANA IT
AND PEOPLE ARE USING IT TO IT.
BASICALLY. EXPRESSED SOME KIND
CONFUSION. OUR QUESTION. THERE
IS ONE THAT IS THE S OR THE
SEA IN CENT SILENT. THERE WAS
ONE AND A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
THAT SAID, HOW COME I GET 2
MEALS A DAY. BUT MOM AND GET 8
MEALS A DAY. IT'S VERY SILLY,
VERY LIGHT HEARTED. BUT UNDER
ALL OF THESE IS TINA FEY
BRINGS VOICE SINGING THE
READING RAINBOW THEME, BUT
VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE
ACKNOWLEDGED WHO TINA IS THEY
JUST KNOW HER VOICE LIKE HE
SAID AND YOU RECENTLY SPOKE
WITH TINA. I MEAN, WHAT IS HER
TAKE ON ALL OF THIS.
>> SHE IS ABSOLUTELY LOVING
THIS. SHE ACTUALLY DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON TO
ACTION IS HAVE A TIKTOK. SO IT
ACTUALLY TOOK HER GRANDSON
LETTING HER THAT THIS WAS
UNDER WAY AND THIS IS WHAT HE
HAD TO SAY ABOUT LEARNING
ABOUT THIS TREND FROM HER
GRANDSON.
>> MY GRANDSON BRYAN, YOU KIRK
HE CALLED ME. SO FUNNY. TIME
WAS LIKE A WEEK HE SAID
GRANDMA VOICE IS STREAMING ALL
OVER THE PLACE AND PEOPLE
USING IT. BUT IT PLAYING IN DO
OTHER THINGS THAT S BECAUSE I
DON'T HAVE A ABOUT TIKTOK.
>> EVEN THOUGH SHE IS NOT ON
TIKTOK. SHE IS ELATED BY THEIR
RECEPTION. SHE'S SO GRATEFUL
TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE
LISTENING TO HER AND ARE
SHARING HER SOUND. AND YOU
REALLY GRATEFUL THAT. NOW
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO LEARN
THAT SHE IS. SOME TIKTOKERS
ARE STARTING TO SAY, HEY, THIS
IS TINA FRONT. AND YOU KNOW
HER VOICE. YOU SHOULD NOW KNOW
HER FACE AND WHO SHE IS. I
HAVE TO ADMIT I DIDN'T KNOW
HER NAME AND I LOVE THAT SONG
FOR SO LONG. SO I THINK THIS
IS GREAT. WHAT DOES SHE MAKE
OF HER NEW FOUND FAME ON
SOCIAL MEDIA. WELL, I EVEN SAY
IT'S MORE OF A RESURGENCE IN
FAME. SHE TOLD ME THAT
SOMETIMES.
>> YEAH. PEOPLE WILL ASK HER,
YOU KNOW, WAIT, ARE YOU THE
READING RAINBOW AND THEY GET
REALLY EMOTIONAL. I EVEN GOT A
LITTLE CHOKED UP, LISTENING TO
THE SONG AT THE BEGINNING OF
THIS SEGMENT. SHE IS JUST SO
EXCITED. SHE'S SO GRATEFUL TO
THE YOUNG PEOPLE. SHE ALSO
WANTED TO REALLY TO HEART THE
MESSAGE IS A RING WHEN BOTH
THIS IS WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY
ABOUT THAT.
>> I DO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW,
THAT MAY BE AHEAD. 600
FOLLOWERS OR SOMETHING. AND
NOW HAVE 2000, 900 AND
SOMETHING.
>> OVER THE LAST 3 DAYS.
>> AND MY PHONE IS CONSTANTLY
BEING DING.
>> SOMEONE FOLLOWED YOU
SOMEONE LIKES THIS, SOMEONE
LIKE THAT.
>> I WOULD SAY.
>> TAKE TO HEART ALL THE
MESSAGES THAT ARE BEING GIVEN
VERY POSITIVE SHOW. AND THIS
BRILLIANT BOPPER.
>> EVEN THOUGH SHE DOESN'T
HAVE HER ON SOCIAL MEDIA
REALLY IS A REALLY FOLLOW HER
INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT TOO CLOSELY.
JUST HAVE TIKTOK. SHE'S VERY
AWARE THAT SHE STARTED GETTING
THIS RESURGENCE AND SHE'S SO
THRILLED AND AND AS YOU
MENTIONED THAT COULD SHE
REALLY WANTS PEOPLE TO
REMEMBER THE LESSONS THEY
LEARNED IN READING RAINBOW.
AND I JUST THINK IT'S SO
FABULOUS COUNTY HAVE LESS THAN
A MINUTE HERE. BUT I DO THINK
SOMEONE COULD MAKE ONE WITH
HER FACE. I THINK THAT WOULD
BE LIKE THE ULTIMATE RIGHT TO
SEE HER FACE WITH THE MUSIC
UNDERNEATH.
>> OH, MY GOSH. THAT WOULD BE
INCREDIBLE. I HAVE NOT SEEN
THAT YET, BUT MAYBE WE'LL SEE
THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO
WHEN USING TEEN IS FACING,
MAYBE IT WILL BE TAXED LIKE
WHY AM I BE RECOGNIZED FOR MY
BOYS OR SOMETHING TO THAT
EFFECT. YEAH. THERE YOU GO.
EXACTLY. AND AND MAYBE THAT
WOULD UPPER SOCIAL MEDIA
FOLLOWING EVEN CALLAN. GREAT
STORY. THANKS SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US THIS MORNING. WE
