COSTCO guys brought the ‘boom’ to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for their first late-night appearance.
The chat show host welcomed internet sensations, A.J, Big Justice, and The Rizzler to his stage to get their signature review on some sweet treats.
Who are the Costco guys?
The Costco Guys are A.J, and Big Justice, a Florida-based father-son duo who became famous on TikTok for reviewing Costco food items.
The famous duo have millions of views on TikTok, and have become a social media sensation over the past couple of years.
A.J
Anthony “A.J” Befumo is originally from White Plains, New York but now lives in Boca Raton, Florida.
A.J was a former professional wrestler before he became an internet sensation – his stage name was, “The American Power child” Eric Justice.
He now makes family-friendly online food and product reviews content alongside his son.
The two went viral in March 1st, 2024 for their Costco content, which includes “We’re Costco Guys” video that gained over 4.4million likes and propelled a flurry of duets and lip dubbing recreations from other TikTokers.
Big Justice
Big Justice’s full name is Eric Justice Befumo.
He is the son of Anthony “A.J” Befumo, who named him after his alter ego and former wrestling name.
According to A.J, he started calling his son “Big Justice” after a tee-ball grand slam that inspired him to say, “Big Justice goes boom!” from the sidelines.
This not only inspired his name, but the word “Boom”, which would become the duo’s catchphrase and claim to fame.
The “Boom meter,” also known as “Boom or Doom” relates to the famous rating system Big Justice and his father A.J use to rank food.
A “boom” is a signal of approval that visually involves one or both of the Costco Guys shouting “boom,” flexing a bicep and a clip-art explosion graphic with an explosion emoji.
If they rate the product with a “Doom” then it’s highly not recommended by the duo.
The Boom Meter went viral in 2024 after TikTok and X users started to question the accuracy of the Boom meter after the duo were deemed too generous with the high ranking.
The duo’s first viral post was a TikTok shared on December 28th, 2022 with their review of Sally Slices’ New Jersey Pizzeria.
Collaborators
The Rizzler often collaborates with the Costco Guys and he featured with the duo as a guest on The Tonight Show, hosted by Jimmy Fallon – aired on October 29, 2024.
The Rizzler’s videos on the app have scored over 19 million likes and he’s just as popular on Instagram with 556,000 followers.
The young influencer, whose real name is Christian Joseph, gained a mass following on the social media after wearing a Black Panther costume in a comedic video posted on TikTok.
The seven-year-old is best known for doing the “rizz” face which has since become another TikTok trend.
His signature “rizz” face involves him raising one eyebrow, dropping the other, sucking in his cheeks and pouts lips slightly.
The move is finished with a smooth stroke of his chin as if deep in thought.
Other TikTok users have tried to copy the expression, with hilarious results.
The Rizzler tried to teach Jimmy how to do it on The Tonight Show, and it wasn’t overly successful.
Other popular faces who appear alongside the Costco Guys page are family members Angelo, and Big Justice’s sister Ashley.
