TJ, homeless man from Coney Island in viral "Byron" videos, gets help from thousands of strangers

Many know him as "Byron" or just "that guy from Coney Island." He went viral on TikTok for his innocent and impromptu interview on the street, and now, thousands are people are chipping in to help him.

Because TikTok culture can be confusing and its trends often unfathomable, a quick recap: TikTok account "SideTalk," which posts quick one-minute interviews with average New Yorkers, shared a compilation of interviews from Coney Island.

Nearly everyone in the video stands out – one man invites Ariana Grande to Coney Island, another shouts "bing bong." And one man, who is asked about the president, innocently calls him "Joe Byron."
