@floricuas: This is Gator, the TikTok sensation from Tallahassee, renowned for his ingenious home repair videos. Under the username "jmg8tor," Gator has amassed an impressive 2.8M followers and 44.8M likes. Gator's journey to social media stardom began serendipitously. After completing a routine repair job, he realized he had never showcased his skills at home repair on social platforms. Inspired to share his knowledge, he uploaded a video featuring a little hack to measure a board. Much to his astonishment, the video went viral with 20 million views in just two days. Fast forward two years, and Gator has cultivated a dedicated following of nearly three million users. Gator makes practical videos aimed at DIY. That’s how he maintains a healthy following. One of his hit videos is on how to replace a screwdriver with a straw. Another was about using WD-40 for bugs, which got 30.7M views. "It's really nice to be able to help somebody, and it's nice to see the comments that people leave, and that's why I keep doing it," Gator told Fox 35. His videos’ signature ending is the phrase "Next!" that he says as he throws an object. "It was totally just nothing, and the next few videos I did, I didn't say that, and people were asking what happened to the next? And I was like what are y'all talking about? So then I started saying next , and it gradually transpired into what it is today, you know?" he said. ✍🏻: Mivette Vega
