Josh Chasteen, a health teacher at Lebanon Junior High, became TikTok-famous.
In 2019, Josh Chasteen, a health education teacher, started a TikTok account at his students' requests. Chasteen noted that he has found it hard to balance his teaching life and TikTok life. He suggested this was because it was challenging to create not cringe-worthy, yet fun content that his young audience would find relatable.
In one of his videos, Chasteen told his audience that he would cancel a major exam for students if a pro sports team left a comment on his video. After a few hours, the Detroit Lions commented, "Roll out the TV cart." Obviously suggesting that Josh gives the students a free day instead of having them take the exam. Eventually, Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Mavericks also commented. Chasteen tried to brush off the attention. However, when ESPN, NFL, and the Olympics commented, even Chasteen himself started to geek out.
In the end, the students got what they wanted. Instead of taking an exam on the muscular system, they played games together. Chasteen was later invited to appear on ESPN's Sports Center about this viral moment.
