Ey yo!
TheJonas Brotherspaid a special visit to theWhite Houseon Friday — and used the viral “bing bong!” TikTok sound to encourage vaccinations in the United States. Ther special guest? None other than PresidentJoe Biden. (Or should we say, Joe Byron?)
The silly video starts withJoe Jonas(in a pajama-looking outfit) going “bing bong!” beforeNick(sporting a magenta suit) mouths, “Are you vaccinated?” Then,Kevin(seen matching with Nick in magenta) pops out of a box and says, “Yes sir!”
The video comes back to Nick, 29, who asks, “Who’s the president, man? Who’s the president?” to which Joe (Jonas, of course) replies, “Byron!” before Kevin, 34, repeats, “Byron!”
The video ends without the viral sound as Kevin asks their cameraman, “Did we get it?” Behind the viral video? Biden, 79, himself.
“You got it!” the president replies.
The video, which collected over 2 million views on TikTok in less than an hour, is the White House’s latest push to promote vaccinations as the omicron variant of COVID-19 roils the U.S.
On Thursday, a doctor speaking onTodayshared that vaccinated people are likely totest positive for the virus. As of Friday, there have been more than 50.4 million positive COVID cases in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic, according to theNew York Times.

“We have to get comfortable with fully vaccinated folks testing positive, that’s going to be our new normal,” Dr. Vin Gupta told theTodayshow hosts. “But people should not worry about that because the purpose of vaccines is not to prevent a positive test or a respiratory virus like omicron, it’s to keep you out of the hospital, and that’s exactly what they’re doing.”
The new video also comes after TikTok usersraised more than $35,000 for TJ.In early December, a TikToker spotted him in public, where she shared that he was living on the street. She then started a GoFundMe to raise money for him.
“Tj is a homeless man trying to get his life together and off the streets. This will help him get inside and warm place to sleep at night and food to eat. He is sober he just needs a little push,” the GoFundMe’s description read.
