Viral YouTube and TikTok stars — known as Chad and J.T. — paid a visit to Burbank City Council Tuesday. In a parody public comment, the two in-character fraternity brothers requested that the Council change the national anthem to “Smooth” by Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana. The two viral pranksters earned laughs from onlookers and politicians alike, many of whom said they “half-expected” a visit from the social media stars, who have made a name for themselves making similar jokes at city council meetings across the country. - Photo courtesy city of Burbank
