Adam Waheed Built A Following Making Slapstick Videos That Earned Him $7.3 Million In 2022 | Forbes
Ойын-сауық
Slapstick sells, apparently.
Comedian Adam Waheed first went viral in 2016 with a comedy sketch about his girlfriend doing her makeup in the car. In his popular TikTok and KZread videos, Waheed performs slapstick stunts like working out in the gym atop a toilet, eating a “train salad” (nails and bolts atop a bed of arugula and tomatoes) and staging his death after stubbing his toe. Now, he’s moved into the big screen, signing a three-picture content deal with Jimmy Kimmel’s production studio, Wheelhouse. Through this and his partnerships with the NFL, Old Spice, Dr Pepper, Doritos, Samsung and T-Mobile, Waheed’s businesses made over $7 million last year, per Forbes’ estimate.

I was consistently expecting him to switch to his skeet 🤣
Why does this interview feel like a skit ? 😂
It's just more weird and hilarious that people like Adam are acting normal during an interview 😂. Love you for this *Forbes!*

Hi Adam waheed.. love from India❤..
Adam w is probably one of the funnier content creators 😂😂 I like his type of comedy it’s my type of skits I would think
The host was super dry! She could’ve appreciated some of his jokes within their convo, super dry she was fishing for apologies from him
😂 she's quite smitten by him. Not suprised if she went home with his number 😂
This man is a genius and will become a billionaire. He’s got the work ethic!
Pure talent and too beautiful!!!!❤
I'm a woman and I loooooove Adam W!!!😂❤
His videos are really funny. Like it. He is real actor. It’s weird seeing him speaking normal )))
He was famous before tiktok was even a thing
Great kind humble man ❤❤❤
Why did the football thing sound like a story Lmaoooo. Vine is the birth of Adam W.
..i la OF this✨️🙏🏼😌🖤✨️✨️

This guy is great I like his work
He’s hilarious!!!
Why she is pushing Tiktok so much? I have never even see any tiktoks from Adam. I know his work from IG and YT 🤔
LEGEND ⚡
He might be making bank but Adam has been making Skits since way before Tiktok became the phenomenon it is now. Expecially on mediums like Instgram. This man has been at this for close to a decade. I'm just 2 minutes in and they make it sound like he is a newbie of sorts. .. Anyway. Maybe they correct this perception later on
Im just lauphing by seeing him😂
he a natural actor
Why are they just interviewing ppl for their tik tok fame, what about the other social media platforms before trik tok. Like he’s well known for vine, IG, YT etc. Amazing he’s making money now, he deserves it.
Ur Awesome!!!
Great
Be a billionaire ( best line ever ) 💵💯
You’re awesome
I love that video where he cuts the bread using a guillotine instead of a knife. 😂😂😂

she secretly is in love with Adam thats why
Idk why i just dont dig that chicks vibe there's a passive aggressive tone to her questions. Ive seen so many and dealt with a fair amount that work for news broadcasters. She is so robotic.
I couldn't hold a straight face
Even talking to amazon customer service, 'hi amazon cs, i would like to return this product and get a full refund, if you dont mind'.
Biggest fan
First time I am seeing him like this
I will act normally, if you don't mind.
I could Expect that interview going in a different dimension when adam start pulling up objects from Nowhere 😅😅😅😅.... Please don't blame me for thinking this way, Adam caused it 😂😂😂
Adam !!!!!😂
It's a very common thing
Even though he was normal..but still I am laughing at him
I can't take this guy seriously 😂😂 still feels like a skit
🎧🔌
Hey Alan,🤣🤣🤣🤣 Why you acting weird here😂😂
Interviewing for Forbes...Its a very common thing.
His best collaboration is with Anwar Jibawi.
👍👍👍
Adam’s success is inspirational. Obviously nobody knows but homie probably won’t ever be a billionaire. Jerry Seinfeld isn’t even a billionaire. Great to set your goals high but be realistic. 100 million is more like it
The interviewer is a bit dry, looks like she's just reading the questions for Adam to answer.
hes funny 🤭
I'm gonna like this video , if you don't mind
I can't see him being normal. 😭 help
That's not my girl, "She cool tho"
How much does he make per month?
His oldest video on KZread is 6yrs
I made millions making videos ,it's a very common thing

Don’t like the interviewer trying to push him down an avenue of being offensive to people. She knows what she’s doing.
