CBSN
If Caleb Simpson approaches you on the street, then you might want to make sure your home is ready for company.
In the past seven months, the TikTok user has gained fame and notoriety for asking strangers how much they pay in rent and if he can tour their homes.
"I saw a street interview on YouTube, and the guy was asking someone, 'How much do you pay for rent in New York? What's the most expensive thing in your home?' And I thought, what if I asked to go inside the home? That's kind of ridiculous," Simpson told CBS News about the series' origin. "On top of that, when I went in someone's home, I was like, what's the craziest thing I could do in here? If I hop in their bed, a stranger's bed, that's pretty wild. I think people would like that on the internet."

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
