Kelon Campbell talks about his journey from Humble to TikTok to Tubi

erri Joe has never been to the Houston Rodeo. But Kelon Campbell — the man behind the wig and floral dress — has been recognized there while eating fried lasagna.⁠ ⁠ It’s an unlikely scene that perfectly encapsulates the strange trajectory of Campbell’s career. The Houston native started dressing up and going live on TikTok out of boredom during the COVID-19 lockdown. It was there he developed the Terri Joe character, inspired by the racist Maxine Thornberry on the vampire series “True Blood.”⁠
