Edward Zharnitsky, 28 — or Ted Zhar on social media — spends his work days wandering the streets of the Big Apple.
“I’m still a huge Adam Sandler fan, despite what happened in that video,” Zharnitsky said with a chuckle.
Zharnitsky’s catchphrases — “What do you do for a living?” and “DasWassup,” which he is known to throw out in nearly every clip — have grown into their own brands, recognizable to people across the globe. While filming in Soho on Thursday, Jess Bevilacqua, a 27-year-old tourist from Toronto, exclaimed “That’s the guy!” after overhearing Zharnitsky interviewing another pedestrian. Zharnitsky’s ultimate goal with his videos is to inspire everyday people to act more courageously.“I see his TikToks on my ‘For You’ page all the time. They’re really intriguing. I always thought they were pre-planned, but now seeing [the filming], I know they’re not,” she told The Post.
For Zharnitsky — whose videos sometimes hone in on what certain types of people, like “gays” or “hot girls” do for a living — the ultimate goal is to inspire everyday people to act more courageously. “Now, with cell phones and social media and even with dating apps, people are just so scared to talk to each other face to face…I hope my videos can make people want to interact with people without their cell phones, and go up to somebody on the street and talk to them,” Zharnitsky said.
