Jennifer Coolidge has just joined TikTok, and her first video has already gone viral thanks to her hilarious rendition of Jennifer Lopez’s “Jenny from the Block” music video.
Jennifer Coolidge is a pop culture icon. Although the actress has appeared in several films and television series over the years, she has had a second wind thanks to her award-winning role in the HBO show “White Lotus”.
Now she’s winning hearts on social media after joining TikTok at the end of January… and her humor makes loyal fans love her even more.
On January 20, Coolidge uploaded her first video to the platform in honor of Jennifer Lopez’s 2002 music video for her song “Jenny from the Block”.

Of course, both women share the same name, but it’s the way Coolidge presents the song as a spoken word “poem” and her dramatic reading of the pop song that drives viewers crazy.
It gets even better when Coolidge slowly turns the camera to show a confused Jennifer Lopez, who says, “I like it. I really, really like it.”

Coolidge’s video has already racked up more than 7 million views, and her profile boasts a whopping 800,000 subscribers. Not bad for someone who just signed up for TikTok!
Her unexpected collaboration with J-Lo was also a funny surprise for longtime Coolidge fans, who probably remember the actress’ unforgettable role as the evil stepmother Hillary Duff in “Cinderella Story” (“Droughts are for the Poor. Do you think J-Lo has a brown lawn?”)
Fans were here to watch their video together and in the comments section expressed their excitement about her upcoming videos.
“Since Leslie Jordan, I haven’t been so excited to see someone join TikTok,” one user wrote.
“Only Jennifer Coolidge will be able to master TikTok on her first TikTok,” said another.
However, others couldn’t help but type “mom” in capital letters, declaring their eternal love for one of TikTok’s night icons.
It’s unclear what will happen next with Coolidge’s content on TikTok, but one thing is for sure… fans are very happy that she’s on the platform.
